 LONDON. Dec. Under the title "A Pacifist Dream of a Food Embargo" the Spectator argues that an American embargo would have serious conse- quences. It would be opposed by the American farmers and live stock traders says the newspaper, because 1t would depress prices. and also. the business people would be reasonably frightened by the thought of retail iatory embargoes.
