ion Of Britain's food controller. G. H
Roberts.
Addressing a meeting OF York
shire food committees. controller Rob
erts declared:
7 cannot honestly hold out any
hopes that prices would be any low
er this winter. Without increased
production we shall never get rid OF
the burden of high prices"
Miners and other workers exercise
a more potent influence on food prices
than do" Mr.. Roberts stated at an
other meeting.
I'VE have to persuade the miners
and workers into a recognition of
their responsibilities. because. when
they slack in their work, they do
harm TO every member OF the popula-
ton. without the cooperation OF ev-
cry class in the country, we may start
to write the decline and fall OF the
