STOCKS OF FOODS
LOWER THAN EVER

The stocks of food in great Britain
at the present time are lower than they
ever have been before, Mr.. Lloyd
George said 1t was essential for the
life of the nation, he declared, that
every possible effort be made to in
crease home production.
The premier announced that the
government would guarantee a price
of SO shillngs. pence for oats this
year, SO shillings for the next two
years and "a shillings for the three
following years. The price of pota-
toes would be guaranteed for the COM
ing season only at pounds 600 a
ton.
The importation of apples, tomatoes
and fruits will be prohibited entirely.
No Early Decrease
The opinion was expressed by the
premier that food prices were not
likely to decrease for a long time after
the war inasmuch as Germany would
then be q heavier purchaser than ever
before. Therefore it was safe to
grant to the farmers n minimum price
over a definite period of time, which
was the only way to bring about inn
mediate action.
