ENGLAND TO FIGHT
BIG FOOD TRUSTS
By United Press.

London, Feb 20.-(By MALL Food
control is to continue for while, at
least, in England.
Restrictions on the sale of certain
articles will be lightened, and in some
cases removed. The government has
no intention Of stepping out yet from
it's direction Of the nations diet.
The sugar ration has been increas-
ed from one-half pound to three quar-
ters of a pound per week, per person.
The weekly margarine ration has
been increased, Certain kinds of
meat may be obtained without cou-
pom.
1t is expected that food cards will
be continued for a while after May
l, the date when the present food
books expire
The subcommittee appointed by
the Consumers Council to investigate
food control has pointed out that
before the nation can drop control
of importation and distribution OF
foods it is necessary to have some
effective weapon with which to deal
with the food trust
The committee recommends that:
SO long as there is a risk of scare
ity Of essential food stuffs, govern

prices should be fixed.
Registration should be continued,
but the public should be allowed to
change shopping places at short in
tervals if desired.
The national kitchens and restau-
rant system should be extended
The government should continue to
import food from overseas. so long
as there is risk of scarcity.
The report continues:
"The question is one of national
and ultimately international organi-
zation. It is intimately connected
with the question of state control of
shipping, the possibility of controll-
ing food trusts and effectiveness of
action.

"The port Of New York is rat

nacular Of the sea which is going
around the world to every quarter of
the globe since the customs lntelll-
gence bureau was organized in New
York a year ago. Paraphrased in
the speech of the average American
1t means that It has been impossible
for an alien enemy or spy, any arti-
Gle Of contraband. or any secret mes
sage or forbidden information that
might benefit the cause of the enemy,
to come or go out of this port without
being detected by the vigllant eyes
of Uncle Sans guardians. New York

the time that America entered the

agency Of grave Importance. And the
work they have accomplished without
any question has saved many lives and
millions of dollars.
