FOOD CONTROLLER
FOR GREAT BRITAIN
Government to Take Every
Step to Insure and Safeguard
National Supply.
RETAIL PRICES SOARING

LONDON. November 16.-W Run
ciman. president of the board of trade,
In parliament yesterday afternoon out
lined the governments proposal for
dealing with the food problem. The
speech of Mr.. Runciman had sigrifi-
canoe. aside from its actual context, as
showing that the government is look
ing forward to protracted hostilities.
and foresees the necessity of timely
measures for insuring the national food
supply by an effective organization of
national resources in a similar manner
to that adopted in enemy countries.
Food Controller to Be Named.
Mr.. Runciman in his speech an
nounced the imminent appointment of
food controller. with full power over
all departments concerned in food sup
plies. and immediate measures to re-
strict the luxurious use of sugar. to
profits in potatoes and milk and for
forbidding the milling OF pure white
-four. He said. also. that the govern
ment would ask new powers under the
defense of the realm act TO deal with
all attempts to exploit public neces-
stiles.
These measures. Mr.. Runciman ex-
planned. would be temporary. but if
they were found insufficient it might
become necessary to have recourse in
food tickets
The speech of the president of the
board of trade was welcomed in all
son. on behalf of the opposition and
George j. Wardle, for the laborites.
agreed that the house was ready to
grant the power asked without the
formality of bill.
Prices Are Much Higher.
The retail prices of foodstuffs. COM
pared with year ago, have increased
on an average of 81 per cent, says the
report of the board of trade They
have increased IS per cent over prices
before the war. The prices OF sugar.
eggs. fish and potatoes. however. are
more than double the pre-war prices.
Mr.. Runciman, in opening his speech.
admitted that the time had arrived
when the government must regard the
question of food supplies as war
problem. declaring that the strain the
country would have to bear next year
would be mainly in connection with
the food supply.
Mr.. Runciman was only able to ex-
press the sure and certain hope that.
however tragic it might be, the strain
was still more severe in Germany and
Austria.
The London morning papers devote
their leading editorials to Mr.. Runci-
mans statement in the house of COM
mons. They recognize the seriousness
of the situation and concur in the ne
cessity of the proposed measures, which
some of them regret were not adopted
earlier.
