Situation Said to Call for "Gravest
Measures"-PremierD Declares "Enor.
NOUS Sacrifices Testing the Ma
tion's Grit Are Required-Large
Crowd Hears Remarks.

London, Feb. 24.-Success Of the al
lied cause depends on the ability Of
England to solve the tonnage shortage,
which is now affecting the ordinary
needs Of the nation and military ext
gencies. Premier David Lloyd George
has just told the house of commons.
The situation, the premier declared,
calls for the "gravest measures"
British Imports curtalled.
Face to face with the menace of ad-
mitted gravity to its food supplies
through operation Of the German u
boat warfare, England has determined
upon drastic curtailment Of its i'm
ports. the prime minister announced.
All luxuries will be banned. Non.
essential staples must make way for
the necessities of war.
The restrictive plans will affect the
very foundations Of British life. They
will particularly affect the dining table
OF every British citizen.
III such a program is carried out"
the premier gravely promised his audi
ence, England can face the enemys
worst"
Food Stocks Low.
Food stocks are lowest in our rec
ollection," England's man of the
hour" declared. due to bad harvests.
For the nations life. increased pro-
duction is necessary.
THE year before the war $4,000 900
tons Of shipping entered British ports.
During the last year the total was
3o.0oo,oo0. This was due partly to the
ALLEGATION Of tonnage to our Allies.
Italy and France are begging for
more ships.
"A large portion of our tonnage has
been sunk by submarines during the
last 30 months. The ratio has been
Increased during the last four or five
months, and this present month, due
to Germany's special efforts to do its
worst"
Must Prepare for Sacrifice.
The premier did not mince his
words in declaring the nation must
prepare for sacrifice.
Enormous sacrifices are required"
he declared, testing the national gift.
The government hopes to deal effec-
lively with the submarine question
but 1t does not follow that We should
rest on this hope only.
Crowds Hear Talk.
There was a crowded house at the
special meeting to listen to the pre-
mier's statement on the restriction of
Imports and the encouragement of az.
riculture. Among those in the diplo-
matte gallery were Premier Borden of
Canada, Premier Massey of New Zea-
land. and many representatives of al
lied nations and dominions.
Tho speech was serious and grave
effort, the premier giving his audi
ence little opportunity for applause
and endeavoring to concentrate atten.
ton on the serious situation with
which the nation is faced owing to
the shortage of food stocks and the
German submarine menace.
