FOOD SHIPMENTS
MAY STOP FROM AUSTRALIA. SHIPS WANTED FOR OTHER PURPOSES. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, February 12. The opinion is freely expressed in trade circles that all food shipments from Australia to Britain will soon virtually cease as a result of the war in the Pacific where ships are more needed than ever to supply the armies and maintain the flow of munitions to Bri- , tain. The heavy toll by U-boats off the American coast has accentuated the shortage. Britain’s food stocks are reported to be very large and the alternative to depleting the reserves to a danger level is sevree rationing which the nation is prepared to face.
