BREAD SUPPLIES
POSSIBILITY OF RATIONING IN BRITAIN IN ORDER TO SAVE SHIPPING SPACE. STATEMENT BY LORD WOOLTON. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, January 12. The Minister of Food, Lord Woolton, tonight appealed to the people of Britain to use more potatoes and less bread. He said he had considered the rationing of bread and had a scheme ready if it were required, but he hoped it would not be necessary. The U-boat campaign, he said, had not succeeded in bringing us, as the Germans believed, it would, to the verge of starvation. Half of the men bringing supplies to Britain from overseas were bringing food supplies and half of those supplies was wheat. If the unnecessary consumption of wheat could be reduced without loss of health and vigour, there would be a saving in ships. Bread could continue to be unrationed if the public used it with an understanding of all the factors lying behind the consumption of bread and the use of ships.
