BUTTER & BACON
SATISFACTORY POSITION IN BRITAIN.
DOUBLING OF RATIONS JUSTIFIED.
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, March 18
Stocks in hand and in sight, which were low when the rationing of butter was first introduced, have steadily accumulated since and with imports from New Zealand and Australia now leaching their peak the doubling of the ration as from next Monday is regarded by the Ministry of Food as amply justified. The stocks of bacon available are also considered satisfactory ana supplies have been coming in extremely well during the last few months, despite the doubling of the ration within a fortnight of the introduction of the system.
'Reports that stricter rationing of commodities already affected and its extension to others are in prospect are authoritatively denied. The first week of meat rationing passed satisfactorily and in the opinion of Food Ministry officials retail butchers dealt with lhe situation extremely well. The only difficulties encountered were the result ol heavy pressure on shops, because ol concentrated buying at the weekend.
