PROHIBITS IMPORT
OF HOG PRODUCTS

LONDON. Sept 4.-The King to-
day signed a proclamation prohibit
ing the importation of bacon, butter.
hams and lard, except under license.
The object is to enable the govern
ment to take over their entire pur-
chase and concentrate it in various
countries in a single organization.
The Food Ministry is establishing
in the United States a single buying
agency, and will make all purchases
through this agency. beginning on
Sept. 3. All holders at the present
time of c. i. f. and f. o. b. contracts in
bacon and lard with American ship
pers are required to furnish to the
Food Ministry full information i'm
mediately.
Pending further arrangements, Ii
censes will be granted certain i'm
porters Of bacon, ham and lard from
other countries than the United
States to continue imports. Consign-
ments Of Canadian bacon will be un-
der the same restrictions as American
goods. A statement issued by the
Food Ministry says.
1T should be borne in mind that
importers prices are mainly deter
mined by the market prices ruling in
foreign countries over which the
Food Controller has no control and
that they must be maintained at such
a figure as to insure the regular ship
ment to this country of adequate sup
plies. Producers prices also have
been fixed for home produced bacon.
