The Minister of Food (Lord Wooltori) stated in the House of Lords to-day that there were fewer people suffering from malnutrition at the en<! of the second year of the war than in the days of peace.

Lord Wooltou continued: “fn spite of the blows we have sustained—and indeed they have been many, because of the U-boats—wo stand alone among the nations at war in being able to increase our rations and flic allocations we are making for the manufacture of food. Moreover, we can look into tile future with confidence.” — Official Wireless.
