BUTTER AND BACON
RATIONING IN BRITAIN. NO PERMANENT SHORTAGE ANTICIPATED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 11.13 a.m.) RUGBY. November 5. Rationing of butter and bacon —the only two commodities it is considered necessary to ration in the near future —will take place at some time in midDecember. This does not indicate a permanent shortage of either commodity. The normal percentages of total imports from Denmark are bacon 50 and butter 25. A temporary dislocation of supplies, due to the submarine campaign. occurred for a brief period at the end of September, but the convoy system now enables a resumption of shipments on a satisfactory scale and ample butter from New Zealand and bacon from Canada is assured, the United Kingdom having the first claim on all supplies of the former.
