COAL OUTLOOK BLACK
NO INCREASE IN OUTPUT
EFFECT ON FOOD SCARCITY
(in a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 11. “The prospect could not well be darker. Nothing is to be gained by seeking to minimise its gravity.” says The Times in a leader on the warning by the Minister of Fuel, Mr. E. Shinwell, about the coal situation. “A famine of coal intimately affects every household in Britain.” the article proceeds. “It is also immediately apparent, that tiie lack of fuel threatens to aggravate the scarcity of tood. Tec hope that the Government cherished that the miners would willingly exert, their efforts in the service of the State which they would refuse to a profitmaking employer must at least be deferred.' The victory of Socialism at. the polls and promise of nationalisation of the mines before the session is over have not by themselves provided a sustained stimulus.”
