FOOD FOR EUROPE
BRITISH PEAK REACHED BASIC STOCKS REDUCED PREMIER'S STATEMENT (9 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 29. Britain is unable to increase the food supplies to Europe and had already reduced the emergency stocks which had been accumulated with difficulty and sacrifice during the war in order to supply UNRRA, said the Prime Minister, Mr. C. R. Attlee, in a letter to Mr. Victor Gollancz.
He was replying to suggestions from Mr. Collancz that there should be no increase in the British rations so long as there was famine in Europe. Mr. Attlee said it would not be possible lor any Government to make the standard of living of its people dependent on the conditions in countries over which they had no control. Any further increase in the food supplies for Europe must come from the food exporting countries.
