Ihe Premier's programme for dealing
with the situation was under two heads.
the first to increase home food produc-
tion and the second the Curtailmont of
non-victual imports
Under the first head Mr.. Lloyd George
outlined scheme for speeding up the
farmer by guaranteeing him good prices
for his commodities over "A period OF
years. thus inviting him to plough and
SOW every inch of available land. II y he
supplemented by the announcement dat
the landowner would lie actually forced
to cultivate his land.
The speeding up OF the lcisurely Brit.
!sh farm laborc.-who for a score OF
years has been regarded the poorest paid
lahorer In England was prov idcd for by
the Premier 10y guaranteeing him a min
imum wage uf % shillings per week in
stead OF the present ~ to IS shnliugs.
tndcr the head of Curtdllmrut of ii!-
ports Mr.. Lloyd George SAID he expected
to reduce the demands on cargo space
by several million tons. Foodstuffs OF
which lf,OpO, 900 tons were imported last
year, Will he cut down nearly a million
tons by Topping OFF certain Injuries.
Paper users, who already have been con-
siderably curtaled. must hruCcforth get
along with only half the supply they are
now receiving, thus saving $40, 600 tons
Certain savings also will be effected In
the Import Of ore. which now amounts tn
S,O00,o00 tons annually, and in lumber,
whcih AZ present is i.oOO,000 tons.
Farmers can increase even now by
hundreds of thousands Of tons for this
year said Premier Lloyd George, ''ths

plans are carried out u very considera bic

Special Cobie Despatch TO THE srN.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-Prcmicr Lloyd
Georges restriction on imports, an
nounced in the House of Commons to-
day, places the worlds business on q
shipping tonnage basis. No nation
will escape its effects. All must be-
come self-contained as never before
Commercial exchange must decrease
as the number of ships to handle it di-
minishes. England and France will
be deforested through the effort to stop
timber imports. Germany and Austria
already have nearly been stripped Of
forests.
Coincident With the restriction an
nouncement the plans of the national
service movement were discussed In
Parliament. The plan to force every
one capable of work into Government
assigned jobs if the voluntary national
conscription falls marks the most Wig
orous and revolutionary reorganization
of industrial society ever made in any
country. ENGLAND was prepared for
such measures, and expected them from
Lloyd George.
NewsDnpers' Size To Bc Cut.
The newspapers. already very small,
Will he cut to half their present size
by the restrictions on the importation
of print paper. The new limitations on
brewing mean that about one-fourth as
much beer will be brewed as before the
war, and that spirits will be propor-
tonate!y reduced This will close many
pubic houses and release their en-
ployees for Government work. while also
reducing the transportation demands
The most revolutionary Of all the
plans Is that establishing maximum and
minimum prices for agricultural prod
ucts for six years. the promise never to
abandon the policy Of encoura ging
farming. The effort to control pota-
toes by hXing maximum selling price
was dreary failure. and consequently
! the Government reverses its policy and
offers minimum prices 10 induce produce
