SAFE FROM STARVATION.
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.! (Received June 8, 9.25 a.m.) .'•'■■ LONDOIN, June 7. Tn the House of Commons Mr. Clynes made a statement on the food situation. He said Britain carried heavier burdens, perhaps, than any ally. She was responsible for her own food and was also assisting the other nations. Tlie benefits of national trading can now be seen. It was probable we would never be reduced to a shortage nor to confusion like that at the end of 1917. The Ministry's aim was* to encourage home production. Control of the wholesale distribution of milk had become a national necessity. The bread subsidy must be continued. If existing discipline nnd pelf -sacrifice wore maintained we would be able to feel absolutely safe from starvation.
