MEAT RATIONING
COUPON SYSTEM ADOPTED IN AUSTRALIA. /.By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) SYDNEY, October 26. Australian meat rationing, when it commences in January, will be on a coupon system, the Prime Minister, Mr Curtin, announced. Coupons will not have to be surrendered for meals in restaurants, canteens, or hotels. In addition to the ration of 211 b., small quantities of canned meat will be made available for civil consumption. Half Australia’s meat production will be set aside for Australian civilians, the other half will be divided between the Australian and Allied forces and the civil population of Britain. The Australian meat ration may be compared with one of less than one pound a head weekly in Britain and about two pounds a head in Canada and U.S.A. Canada also imposes one meatless day a week in public eating houses. #
