BRITAIN’S FOOD SUPPLY
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright.) (Rec. 1.30 p.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 24. Lord Wool ton (Alinister of Food), speaking in Edinburgh to-day, said he did not intend to make any alteration in the national loaf. ‘‘We are not short of broad in this country and there is no nation in Europe whose stocks of bread are so assured as ours. The reason I want people to eat more potatoes is because I want to save shipping space in replacement of the broad stocks wo use up.” Explaining the doubling of the cheese ration Lord Woolton said he had allocated extra supplies to permit the housewife to experiment with cheese dishes, because meat imports demanded fast ships. Lord Woolton added that there was no prospect of an increase in the egg ration, but beer will not be rationed. —Official .Wireless.
