dealt mainly with the potato crop.
He said the government would take
over the 1s1s-1s1s crop from Novem-
Der, and anticipated its ability to
stimulate the consumption Of pota-
toes to a greater extent than last
year.
The American troops in Great Brit
ain and France will also be able to
receive large quantities of potatoes
grown in England.
The food controller emphasized the
need of continued ecopomy In food.
not because there was not sufficient
to go around. but because such econ
omy was useful in conserving ma
tional energy and resources. espe-
cially shipping, and SO in increasing
the number of American troops
brought to Europe.
The policy of the allied food con-
trollers. he declared. was to effect
complete cooperation to enable Her
bert Hoover, the American food ad-
ministrator. to carry out his plan to
eventually to bring about . reduction
in prices.
ARRANGEMENTS had not been COM
pleted. but when complete Mr.. Clynes
thought it would be found that all
competition had been abolished as
well as all jealousy and serious RI
yalry between the allies. This would
also have a tendency to steady prices
and increase production.
