BREAD RATIONING
“NOT AFFECTED” MORE MEAT AND EGGS METHODS OF PAYMENT LONDON, Dec. 12. The Anglo-Russian trade agreement may mean more meat and eggs for the British people, but it will not make any immediate difference to bread rationing, says Reuter’s political correspondent. Britain did not ask for wheat and is relying on Australian and Canadian supplies to maintain the ration. The agreement, when signed, will probably provide for the shipment to Britain from Russia’s 1947 harvest of considerably over 500,000 tons of coarse grains for feeding livestock. British purchases from Russia’s subsequent harvest may be arranged in a longterm trade agreement which, it is hoped, will be concluded next May for a period of three years or more. Britain will pay with some engineerin'' eauipment which is immediately available, but most of the Russian grain will be covered by supplies which Russian import organisations will order from individual British firms.
