Fear is expressed by a section OF
the press most hostile to Mr. Asquth
that If the government falls the old

editorially, says elsewherY;
The house OF comm1hs will not

safeguard before and 1t will be his

The Post also makes the suggestion
that the unionst psty might play q
good part in the crisis by using Its
entire influence to force upon what
ever party to take office should Lloyd |
George fall the best men without |
thought of party or politics. This sUg |

which is reported TO be growing among |
tho conservatives that the time has |
come to supplant Lloyd George with |

Rafioninq of Food Protects the Poor
BY HAROLD EDWIN BECHTOL

| european Manager of the Newspaper
Enterprise Associatlon)
! LONDON, Aug. America need
have no fear Of the ration card bogey.
Great Britain this year instituted the
ratloning system-flrst food cards,
then ration cOupOns-and it is con-
ceded on every side that the food sit
uatiOn from the consumers standpoint
! is better now than 1t has been at any
/ time since the early days OF the war.
As it is explained by the ministry Of
food and as the results have proved,
/ the primary purpose OF the ratiOning
system is to protect the consumer OF
small or moderate means.
The system protects the workers,
Britain's experience has already de-
monstrated to everyone, by compelling
fair distribution.
It guarantees equitable division Of
the available food supply so that gres,
stores Of food cannot be bought up by
those who can afford to pay highest
prices
In short, It prevents wealth from
squeezing Mr.. Average Consumer out
Of the food stores.
Here are the per person allowances
Of the four principal foods, per week:
Meat. 20 ounces.
Sugar, one-half pound.
Butter, five ounces.
Flour, not ratloned dread rations
apply in restaurants Only.)
Additional supplementary allow
ances" are issued FOR men engaged in
heavy work. and there are special rules
covering the needs Of invalids. expect
ant mothers, sick persons, etc.
These details are handled by local
food boards which are constantly in
session in every dlstrict-somewhat on
the order Of the selectlvs service local
board system in America.
And food cards or coupon books are
not half the trouble u had been ex-
pected in Britain they would be. or that
Americans probably think they are.
You go to the local board and MI
out an application form. The board |
mails you a coupon book. You take
the book to your dealer or dealers |
II you buy at separate stores) and each |
dealer detaches a leaf OF coupons for |
the article you intend TO buy at his
store
That roughly. is all there is 10 it for !
the ordinary consumer--the application
blank states the number OF persons |
eating at your home and the book mail
ed you covers food allowances for ali.
Then as you order, the dealer de-
taches from the leaf, the coupons cor
responding with the amounts bought.
lie tan sell you in any one week, only
thc amount called for by your coupon
book.
Rationing Of itself does not control
prices. although OF course rationing and
government price control go hand in
hand.

glance how the food situation in
England has improved under the
rationing system.
Before Rationing.
The food shortage pressed hard

most; busy men and women could
not spare the time to go chasing
about for food; they had no time

As a result the average consumer

There were queue lines at al

Doubtless the women have learned
well, by this time, that men home from
the trenches are not particularly re-

sweethearts wearing the modes Of Mars.
Nor does the soldier on leave crave
gaudiness. neither does he find pleasure
in fripperies.

things which are sane and quiet and
