FOOD IN WAR TIME.

NQOsEED FOR ANXIETY. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright Received 14, 11.35 p.m. London, May 14. Mr A. F. Bird (Conservative) in the House of Commons, raised a discussion on food supplies in war time. He urged the relieving of taxes on the land to encourage corn-growing, also the encouragement of shipowners to build greyhound grain-carriers Mr A. H. Lee (Conservative) said the Government persistently neglected the matter. Home supplies were decreasing, and foreign supplies increasing. Meanwhile, the relative naval strength was

steadily waning. Mr Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Agriculture, denied that the navy had been weakened. The concentration in the North Sea had freed us from hostile peril in many parts of the world. l The Imperial Defence Committee was considering the question of food supplies, and had also consulted and made certain arrangements with the overseas governments. There was no ground for anxiety, as there was always lixtees weeks' supplies at hand.
