EFFECT OF RATIONING
SERIOUS EFFECTS BEING FELT IN HOLLAND. DUTCH DAIRY INDUSTRY BADLY HIT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 1 p.m.) AMSTERDAM, December 29. The f’Handelsblad” says Britain's butter rationing is nothing short of catastrophic to the Dutch dairy industry. Holland last year sent England seventy per cent of her butter export, this rising to eighty per cent in the first nine months of 1939. Bacon rationing is also a serious consequence. Holland is at present slaughtering ten thousand pigs weekly for England. If this is halved it will mean a reduction of one-eighth in the country's slaughterings.
