Received Wed., 10.30 a.m LONDON, F$h. 18. The Minister of Food, Mr. John Strachey, speaking at a Press conference, said : "The meat situation generally is very tight. It is not now a mat-, ter of supplies but of actual shipments arriving. They are having waterfront troubles in Australia and New Zealand which we cannot regard with! equanimity in view of our stock j position. If there is further delay we might suffer veryi severely, and it is conceivable under sueh circumstances that the ration will be reduced." J Mr. Strachey, announcing his departure for Canada to-| morrow, emphasised that the fact that he was making thei -journey indicated that no very serious effects on food supplies were now expected from the •fuel shortage. Mr. Strachey's departure was postponed when the fuel crisis first arose.
