BRITAIN'S GRANARIES
FULL STOCKS SUGGESTED EMERGENCY PRECAUTION LONDON, April 10 In the House of Commons yesterday, under the wide licence allowed by the motion for the Easter adjournment, Mr. P. W. Donner (Conservative —• Basingstoke) urged the filling up of the granaries in Britain in case of emergency. The/ Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade, Dr. E. L. Burgin, in replying, said the question of independence in regard to food was one of staggering magnitude. He promised to look in detail into the member's suggestion, but the problem of food supplies to stand a siege, as distinct from a temporary interruption, was something far bigger than anyone could contemplate. The House adjourned until April 21.
