BRITISH FOOD PROBLEM.
SITUATION BECOMING ACUTE. LONDON. Mar. S. The political correspondent of the Times itates that Lord Rhondda, the Food Controller, desire? to postpone bread rationing, but the wheat and food position will be acute during the next six or eight weeks. Sugar supplies are more uncertain and a reduction in the ration is possible. The shipping correspondent of the Times says that business moil are . disturbed about the shipping situation. There is a feeling that the shipyards are not producing to their maximum capacity, and then' is a demand for the removal of the hindrances. It was generally thought that the navy's demands were lessoned long ago. The steel shortage has been overcome, and labour not failing, it should be possible to produce ships on a scale commensurate with the losses.
