BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying S2O0,OO0,00O year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit.
ain is taken over by the government
ut an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern.
ment at a price that allows the adult
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound Loaf
at . cents and the one pound loaf at
cents.
In France under conditions some
what similar, but with Il larger eN
traction, the four pound loaf sells fol
l6 cents.
