FOOD RATIONING
AND DRASTIC CONTROL IN AUSTRALIA ADVOCATED BY SIR EARLE PAGE. NEED OF STOCKS TO FEED FAMISHED NATIONS. CBy Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) CANBERRA, This Day. “It is essential that there should be adequate food supplies in Britain, as well as in Australia, and that on the day the war ends we should have thousands of tons of food in store to feed the famished nations of the world,” said Sii’ Earle Page, formerly Australia’s representative on the British War Cabinet, advocating the rationing of all primary products. He also advocated government acquisition of foodstuffs, the subsidising of primary industries and the control of food prices and transport costs.
“Tqj deciare two beefless and muttonless days is not enough,” he said. “In face of reduced production, there should be a comprehensive plan for dealing with the position. Foods in Australia should be rationed in the same way as clothes are rationed.”
