ENEMY OBJECTIVE
ON BRITAIN'S FOOD.
Damage Can Be Made Good, Says Minister. British Official Wireless. • (Reed, noon.) RUGBY, Sept. 18. The Minister of Food, Lord Woolton, stated to-day that recent enemy air raids were directed at Britain's food supplies, but that, after visiting the East End to see • what damage had been done to food supplies, he was able to say the extent of the damage was, at the most, one day's consumption of a particular commodity.
Damage to other food commodities had not been more than could be put right if the whole population said, "We shall put this right by going without one meal."
Air attacks, said Lord Woolton, had provided a real testing of Ministry organisation covering the whole of Greater London, "and I do not think it has failed in any particular in spite of having premises immediately next door to the Ministry's offices razed to the ground." Lord Woolton revealed that provincial stocks of food had to be brought to London on one day to replace destroyed stock*.
