REMOVING ANOMALY
STARVATION IN PLENTY BRITISH DRIVE PLANNED REDISTRIBUTION OF FOOD MILK SCHEME’S SUCCESS By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 27. In an effort to overcome the maldistribution of foodstuffs the Government is initiating a great “planned national utility drive,” by which the surplus over the middlemen’s requirements will be diverted to areas where unemployment is heaviest for sale at nominal rates.
The surplus milk for school children experiment has been so successful that the Government is aiming at the similar distribution of other. perishable foodstuffs. This will overcome the spectacle of food being allowed to rot, which has been termed a scandal. For instance, fish has been thrown back into the sea. The producers whom the State is already financially assisting to regulate production will co-operate, and by this it is hoped to eliminate the anomaly of starvation in the midst of plenty.
