FOOD IMPORTS
TO BE IN FORM OF GRAIN
RUGBY, July_ 23
A pledge that Britain's rations would not be cut to supplement; rations in Germany was given today by a colonel who is chief of the food department of the British Military Government at 21st Army Group headquarters, says a correspondent there. The aim of the British authorities, he said, was to avoid importing into Germany fats and sugar, of which there was a world shortage. If food had to be imported into Germany, and it appeared it would be, it would be in the form of grain, which would not affect the requirements of the rest of the world. The Press Association states that the Minister of Food, Mr. Hudson, and the Minister of Agriculture, Colonel Llewellin; have left for Germany to investigate agricultural food conditions. "This follows a recent London conference on European food and agriculture. Discussions between Mr. Hudson and the National Farmers' Union on the provision of man-power for this year's harvest have taken place.—B.O.W.
