COAL FAMINE

POSITION SERIOUS IN BRITAIN LONDON, February 11. " The prospect could not well be darker. Nothing is to be gained by seeking to minimise its gravity," says ' The Times,' in a leading article on the .warning given by the Minister of Fuel (Mr E. Shimvell) about the coal situation. " The famine of coal intimately affects every household 'n Britain. It is also immediately apparent that the lack of fuel threatens to aggravate the scarcity of food. The hope that the Government cherished that the miners would willingly exert efforts in the service of the State which they would refuse to the profit-making employer, must at least be deferred. The victory of Socialism at the polls and the promise of nationalisation of the mines before the session is over have not by themselves provided a sustained stimulus."
