BREAD RATIONS
FROM SHIP LOSS
Unless U-Boat Losses Are
Decreased Nation Faces
Serious Conditions

Rennedy Jones, .Dircetor-General of
Food Economy in Great Brittany
London, May 16.-What are we do
ing?
In a nutshell we are hoping for the
best, but preparing for the worst.
If things take turn for the better
we shall not be compelled to put any
one in the United Kingdom on bread
rations, except perhaps our race
horses. By a turn for the better I
mean reduction in the present rate
of the sinking Of allied food ships and
a substantial dirninution in consump-
ton of bread, due to voluntary self
sacrifice. But If the German submar-
ines can continue, even temporarily,
their present luck. we cannot afford to
take any chances.
However much we believe in the
willingness of the vast majority of
our own people voluntarily to deprive
themselves, and we already have a
splendid proof this spirit, no food min
istry would be justified in leaving to
individual effort the solution of the
bread crisis that must frankly be fac
ed now, and not at the next harvest
We are watching, but not waiting

Food controllers were not appointed
until every belligerent nation learned
in the hard school of experience 1na1
war can be successfully carried on
only by the comparatively prosalc
work of feeding the peoples as Wen
as the armies. There is a trlte ola
saving that '.the spectator sees most
of the fighting" Up to few weeks
ago YOU were spectators. Now you are
in the ring we look to you to see an
giles of the situation which have not
occurred to us.
We have made as many mistakes as
any nation, except Germany, that ever
went to war We probably will make
a lot more, but we have always been
in it to a finish Briti1l blood from
the homeland, from Canada and from
every part of the empire is being spill
ed today over the widest front and
in the fiercest battle the world has
ever known. The indomitable French,
with equal gallantry, are steadily drfv-
ing back the enemy.
The terrific sacrifice Of life involved
mostly young lives full of promise, will
be all in vain unless there is in the
Allied European countries sufficient
food to enable the working classes to
produce the munitions necessary to
victory, and to keep up the morale
and health of the armies and the CT
william population.
We look to American for ships, and
for food to fill them. On our side, we
/ shall not hesitate to demand and en-
force any restriction Of food consump-
ton which we consider essential te
victory. If I know anything of my
own country, there will be no hanging
back. And II I know anything of Am.
erica, there will be no hesitation or
= her part in coming forward.
