50 Per Cent Reduction in Food Rations
FANTASTIC PRICES FOR BUTTER AND MEAT Received Monday, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 5. The Daily Express correspondent at Moscow says the approach of the worst winter since the famine in 1922 is heralded by drastic Soviet decrees ordering a 50 per cent, reduction in the present food rations and commanding factories, trusts and other Government organisations within the city districts to grow their own vegetables. Only foreign diplomatic staffs are exempted from the rationing decree. The prices of commodities in the open markets are fantastic. Butter is t>os per pound and meat 20s per pound. Constant desertions from the mines also threaten a coal shortage.
