BRITISH BREAD RATIONING
FOOD MINISTER’S ACTION LONDON, June 21. “Britain’s Minister of Food (Mr John Strachey) will be ‘carpeted’ after his return from America for revealing that Britain’s bread ration cards were already printed and for displaying them to American newspapermen without arranging for’ the Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Dr. Edith Summerskill) to tell the House of Commons first,” says the “Daily Express.” “Officials of the Food Ministry, when they realised the effect on Britain of Mr Strachey’s revelation, rushed to have photographs of the ration cards made available to British newspapers. “Mr Strachey will be cross-examined by Cabinet, leading Socialists, and the Trades Union Council ort his action.”
