choice cuts of those meats and vir-
tually all pork had remained on the
ration list after that time.
The meats and fats rationing pro-
gram was started March 90, 1913.
Secretary Anderson said there is
no immediate prospect of lifting
sugar rationing.
He estimated that lifting of ra-
tioning will make meat available for
civilians in December at an annual
rate of 165 pounds per capita COM
pared with an annual rate of ITO
pounds during the early spring and
summer.
In announcing the action, Secre-
tary Anderson said the decision was
agreed to by Price Administrator
Chester BoWles.
The whole question of continuing
rationing was discussed at White
House conference Wednesday night
attended by both Secretary Ander-
son and Mr.. Bowles.
The Secretary said the ending of
ratio1ing will in no way affect Gov
eminent plans for the shipment OF
meats and certain fats and oils to
Allied and liberated countries.
Secretary Anderson said the sup
plies of fats and oils will continue
to be limited for several months.
He explained, however, that con-
tinued rationing of fats and oils
after cessation of meat rationing
would have necessitated establish
ment of new rationing program, at
least for short time.
OPA, he said was not prepared to
handle such a program.
May Need Controls.
Mr.. Anderson said the Govern
ment may have to impose controls
OF some sort on bakers and other
large industrial users to prevent
them from absorbing the limited
supplies of fats and oils.
The rate of civilian supplies of
meat in the first quarter of 1916 will
depend, he said, on the size of ex-
ports. Foreign shipments will be in
fluenced by the amount of funds
available for the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Adminis-
tration.
LEGISLATION appropriating addi-
tlonal funds for UNRRA are now
before Congress. Mr.. Anderson said
that should UNRRA get the addi-
tlonal money, total exports in the
first quarter might run as high as
625 ,0O0, 600 pounds compared with
an estimate of about $4,000, 900
pounds in the current quarter.
He said that should exports reach
the maximum amount, the civilian
supply in the first quarter should
be at rate of around $50 pounds.

time, all food fats will become
point free.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
made these announcements to a
news conference today. The food
fats freed from the ration program
include butter. margarine, lard and
shortening. The meat rationing ter
mination also applies to canned fish.
Sugar is now the only food left on

Since September 80, about one

mestic economic and social prob

before they became matters of in
ternal disSension in the coalition.
FORMAL REQUEST
1t was considered likely that the
laborites would not withdraw from
the government until Churchill for
mally requests King George vi to
dissolve parliament ee
After that step is taken, six weeks
must elapse before general cleo
ton can be held. If Churchill hopes
to hold the balloting early in July
by July 5, according to some OBJ
servers-he must go to the king
within the next few days.
The laborites, believing ChurchillS
conservatives wanted to capitalize on
the European victory, preferred to
wait until autumn, when the life of
the present parliament expires. But
Churchill forced the issue. He told
Deputy Prime Minister Clement At
tlee, labor leader, that the party
must make decision at once.
Attlee called a hasty meeting of
the national executive committee
of the party Sunday night to de-
nounce it as an "ultimatum.' After
three hours, the committee voted to
recommend to the rank-and- file
that the party withdraw.
FORMED IN 1910
The withdrawal would end a gov
ernment formed May 10, 1910, when
Churchill succeeded Prime Minister
Chamberlain. There have been cab
met changes over the years, but the
government has remained represen-
tative Of all parties. He formed the
coalition to fight the European war
as a solid national front.
The last general election was in
November, 1885. The conservatives
won 387 seats in the house of COM
mons and the laborites 154. with the
other IA seats divided among minor
parties. The conservatives lost 10
seats in that election.
