FOOD SUPPLIES
Position In Britain British Official wireless RUGBY, May 3. The Minister of Food (Lord Woolton), speaking at Liverpool, said that it was his chief aim to secure for the poorest not only enough food but food at prices which they could afford. “Our stocks of food are here, but I am not going to put them Into consumption just because we have them. I am going, to the best of my ability, to preserve very ample stocks so that whatever happens to our ships or lines of communication the people of Britain will still be able to be fed adequately.” Britain's supplies of wheat, he said, were assured and her reserves were enormous.
