FOOD IN AUSTRALIA
Rationing Scheme Urged (Rec. 7 p.m.) CANBERRA, Sept. 25. “It is essential that there should be adequate food supplies in Britain as well as in Australia and the day the war ends we should have thousands of tons of food in store to feed the famished nations of the world, said Sir Earle Page, formerly Australia s representative on the British War Cabinet, in advocating the rationing of all primary products. He also advocated Government acquisition of foodstuffs, the subsidizing of primary industries and the control of food prices and transport costs. , “To declare two beefless and muttonless days is not enough in face of the reduced production,” he said. There should be a comprehensive plan for dealing with the position.-Foods in Australia should be rationed the same way as clothes are rationed.”
