BRITISH FOOD STOCKS
STRONG AS YEAR AGO EGGS AND MILK RATIONS (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 10 a.m. RUGBY, May 29. Confidence in Britain’s food position was affirmed by the Minister of Food, Lord Woolton, in the House of Lords when he said: “We have suffered, but we emerge from the winter in a position as strongly secured in our food supplies as 12 months ago." Stating that one object of rationing was to give every individual the prescriptive right to obtain an equal share of a rationed commodity, Lord Woolton announced that he was about to start a new system of experimental rationing. He would soon ration eggs and, whether from force of necessity or not, it was believed he would ration milk, but he hoped he would never have to ration bread.
