FOOD FOR BRITAIN
Sir,-*-I see in “The Press” this hiorning that London housewives demand more food. To my mind they have every right to demand more food considering what they have been through. Just think of queueing up every morning at 6.30 to get offal, poultry, rabbits, or tinned fruit, only to be disappointed. I don’t think it is right that the Home Country should starve and live like pigs for want of more food and soap. Why are they going through this? For the simple reason that Germans may live! After all, they did bring it on themselves. Why not feed our own people first and feed other countries afterwards? They have every right to demand that the Minister of Food (Mr John Strachey) should give an assurance that there will be no further food cut and no more food sent abroad.— Yours, etc., C. W. HAINES. June 24. 1946.
