speaking al Sliverton today. He pre-
faced this announcement by saying
that ne was afraid that compulsory

il was on its way. and then declared
that his department had completed a
scheme and that as soon as the sane
tiOn OF the cabinet had been received
it would be carried out.
Lord Rhondda warned his hearers
that there would continue to be short
age though the conditions would i'm
prove steadily.
There is nothing alarming in the
situation he said. You have only

this country are undergoing nothing

enormous increase in the productions

Referring to the meat shortage.
Lord Rhondda said he did not want
10 threaten; he did not want to com
mandeer cattle. but the machinery
would be there 10 carry the cattle to
market when the time came. There
was going TO be a great shortage OF
meat during the next couple of weeks.
Sut after that he hoped the position
would improve considerably.
Meat Consumption.
Before the war 20 per cent OF the
meat consumed by civilians was i'm
ported. Today a large part of the i'm
ported meat went to the army. leav-
ing less than 10 per cent for civilians.
There was. however no great deple-
tiOn in cattle in the country.
The food controller strongly sup
ported communal kitchens and said
that government grants would be
made where necessary to establish
them. He incidentally disclosed the
fact that Lady Rhondda obtained the
christmas dinner for her family from
one OF these kitchens and added:
