Ministry of
Food One of Most Vital
Units in Prosecuting War

London. May II, Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)-Not long
ago there slipped u~nobtrustvely into
the British cabinet an untried minis
try Of food. Britain, reading her
morning newspaper noted the fact,
raised her eyebrows and then became
not troubling herself about ministries
Of food when there was a big war on
hand.
Today the ministry Of food ranks
in importance with the admiralty, the
war department and the ministry Of
munitions in the conduct of the war.
Brttai nnow anxiously reads the do
ings and sayings of the ministry Of
food along with the news Of the army
and of the navy for she has como to
the realisation that her stocks Of food
are low, that the submarine menace
to her shipping II very real, and that
the question Of tho duration Of the
world conflict and possibility Of tho
outcome In interlocked with the
food problem.
She depends upon the ministry Of
food to do much toward solving this
problem.
The ministry. headed by Lord De-
vonport. has grown unH It's activities
ish isles. Everything that touches d.
rectfy or indirectly on the food ques-
don is grist for tho mill OF the food
controller. It matters moi whether It
Is tho laying down OF the law Of con-
sumption to the big brewer and candy
manufacturer, or rendering advice to
the housewife ~ to how to cook corn
meal cakes, the same energy II dis
played.
Peop2e Peetmbed At First
When Lord Dsvonport first began
to dictate to hotel, restaurant and
harding house keepers a. to what they
must eliminate from their menus. and
to suggest the same curtailment In
the private homes, there was consid-
cradle perturbation. The people ala
not quite under1tand the necessity of
