Beef Virtually Rationed.
Under the existing quota arrangement, beef is already virtually rationed. Mr. Scully’s views are reported to have clashed violently with those of the Government’s economic advisers. The Prime Minister, Mr. Curtin,- told the House: “The question of meat rationing is under consideration and certain preparations arc being made.”
Sir Earle Page stressed the need for meat rationing, claiming that shipments to the United Kingdom last year were down by 130,000 tons. Australia's present meat consumption averages 4.6 lb. a person a week, which would -be halved by Die, proposed ration. The Sydney “Sun,” in an editorial today, deplores “rationing amid plenty,” and adds that the remedy is not to restrict the sale of meat, but to put-back manpower in the essential industry of food production and to organize transport.
