GROW MORE FOOD.
Beaverbrook Press Starts ' New Campaign. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, May 27. Lord Beaverbrook, the newspaper magnate and Empire Free Trader, has started a campaign in the “ Daily Express ” to grow more food in Great Britain. He urges that there should be an end to Mr W. E. Elliot’s policy of regulating and 'restricting the output of food from British farms, and he favours development by tariffs. Lord Beaverbrook suggests that a duty of 2d a lb on imported foreign meat would bring in £9.000,000 a year if Argentine imports were maintained. The duty on eggs should be 33 per cent, and on poultry 6d a lb.
