HEAVY DEMANDS
ON BRITISH AGRICULTURE ON ACCOUNT OF DIVERSION OF SHIPS. TO URGENT WAR TASKS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) RUGBY, December 1.4 The Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Robert Hudson, speaking at Carlisle, said that although we had all been encouraged and heartened by' recent victories, agriculture had a very much bigger part than ever to play. Shipping remained the key to victory and a necessary factor in the demands he had to make on British agriculture. The recent expedition to North Africa had meant the diverting of 500 ships from other urgent tasks, notably from carrying food to Britain. To launch more such expeditions we must cut our imports to the bone and that meant an evergrowing output from our own soil.
