THE FOOD PROBLEM IN BRITAIN.
I PRICES SCARCELY AFFECTED BY REGULATIONS SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLUTION OF DIFFICULTY. United Service. (Received November 20, 10.55 a.m.) LONDON, November 19. c food regulations have little affected prices. There is a slight increase. English meat and potatoes are being largely withheld, owing to uncertainty as to whether the Government will take over the supply of food. The Prices Commission favours a fixed price for wheat. Experts advocated the Government's offering British farmers fixed rates for the 1917 crop in order to stimulate cultivation. Important journals urge that the solution of the problem is increased home production, increased tonnage, and the opening of the Black Sea. There is necessity for au immediate effort to increase the mercantile tonnage.
