BRITISH FOOD SUPPLIES. London, April 13. •Mr. McCurdv announced that control was being released rapidly except of certain staple commodities. The Government was continuing the bread subsidy, and meat would be controlled until Michaelmas, in accordance with the agreement with producers Butter would also be controlled. Owing to the shortages the)' must carefully watch the operations of the food trusts An American commission had reported that the trusts tended to monopolise the world's supply for the purpose of securing extortionate profits. The Ministry intended to continue the national kitchens, which had been so successful, but were not opening others to compete with private enterprise.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
