BUTTER AND MARGARINE
ALLOCATIONS IN BRITAIN. It has been found that too much butter was released in Britain when the combined rationing of butter and margarine began on July 22, and during the next few weeks the releases would be reduced, the Ministry of Food announced recently. When the combined scheme began the Ministry could not know exactly how much of the combined ration would be taken in butter and how much in margarine, and the quantities released were much larger than was necessary. The Ministry will, therefore, reduce butter releases to the amount required to meet the average consumption by the public. Some retailers, wh > have a large number of customers taking the whole ration in butter may find it necessary to arrange with these customers to lake part of their-ration, for a short time in margarine. Wholesalers should, however, soon be able to adjust their issues of butter to retailers to correct any local shortages. Returns now being collected will enable allocations of butter and margarine to be based upon traders’ estimates of actual requirements. When they have been analysed it will be possible to make any necessary readjustment.
