FOOD RESTRICTIONS
ACTION IN BRITAIN TO SAVE SHIPPING SPACE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 15. Lord Woolton, Minister of Food, said that of 21,700,000 eggs distributed in Britain in a month, only 1,100,000 were imported. He added that the public must realise that, deliberately as the result of the shipping position, they had decided that they could get wider distribution of food values by using dried eggs; therefore they were no longer endeavouring to find shipping space for imported shell eggs on a large scale. Lord Woolton said that all exportable surplus tea crops in India, Ceylon and East Africa would be allocated in futture to the United States and to neutral countries. The public in Britain must not assume that they would get more tea. On the contrary, in the interests of the United Nations and in order to secure fail’ distribution, Britain had agreed to forgo a certain amount. The Minister added that it was hoped to have three times as much powdered milk on sale this winter as last.
