BRITAIN’S FOOD
ARRANGEMENTS FOR EMPIRE PURCHASES STOCKS WELL DISTRIBUTED IN UNITED KINGDOM. STATEMENT BY MINISTER. By Telegranh—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, September 29. Mr W. S. Morrison, broadcasting, said the Ministry of Food, with the goodwill of Empire producers, had completed arrangements to purchase the year’s requirements of sugar—over a million tons. There was no possibility of a shortage, as the home crop was also available. Stocks of tea were scattered in the provinces. The Government had also moved stocks of meat and butter from London. “Butter will not be as plentiful,” said the Minister. ‘'We must use margarine as well as rationing. This would not involve queues and prices would not be beyond the small purse.” SUPPLY OF SUGAR ENTIRE BRITISH GUIANA CROP BOUGHT. (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) GEORGETOWN, September 29. The British Government has bought the entire sugar crop of British Guiana to December, 1940.
