DOG A PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
Diminishing Food Supply Makes Ca
nine Industry Difficult One From
War Standpoint.

The British government is wrestling
with the problem of what to do with
dogs, in view of the rapidly diminish
ing stocks of food 1t seems settled
that the number of dogs is to be re-
duced. There are hardly any dog bis
cults left, and no more will be manu-
featured, as the low grade flour from
which they are made is wanted for the
textile trades.
BOnar Law, Chancellor of the exche-
quer, refused to include a heavy tax
on dogs in his budget, which he in
troduced in the last week of April.
His friends said that such tax would
kill dog-breeding as an industry, and
would work unequally between rich
and poor. The poor mans dog would
be sacrificed, while the pampered
Pekinese would flourish.
Now the alternative proposal is to
prohibit the breeding Of dogs during
the war except-under license. The eff
feet of this would be to allow the per-
petuation of pedigreed breeds, which
have taken many years and large sums
of money to produce, and also useful
dogs, like sheep dogs and army dogs.
The breeding of mOngrels and prob
ably of purely fancy dogs would be
prohibited.
There will be no interference with
people who already have dogs. They
will in the future need all their in
genuity to keep pets fed.
