RUSSIAN FOOD SUPPLIES
RELIANCE ON PIGS
[TIMES CABLES.]
LONDON, August 11
“The Times’s” Riga, correspondent states: Under the watchword “Faces to the Swine!” the Soviet leaders have appealed to the trade unions and Communist organisations not to forget pigs. They deplore the fact’that the people “are inclined to make merry when pigs are mentioned, but the masses must be made to understand that the meat front can only be rescued by pigs, and not by rabbits. The pig must be given a. place of honour immediately, behind the highest leaders of the party.” The appeal points out that the Party have worked out plans for breeding swine, not only in the country, but also in the big towns, where they may serve as auxiliary scavengers, devouring the .waste from the hospitals, restaurants, prisons. and barracks. Pig styes have already been, opened in the centre of Leningrad .
