Food Minister Strachey So
Warns On Departure
For Canada, u. S.

LONDON, June 16-U.D-Food
Minister John Strachey warned
Britain Sunday night on the eve of
his departure for new food talks
in the United States and Canada
that it was 'Ehighly probable" bread
rationing would be introduced as
soon as preparations are COM
pleted.
Strachey's warning, made in
radio broadcast, came amid spec
u%lation that the Commons debate
this week on the critical British
food situation may force Prime
Minister Clement Attlee to appoint
a new minister of agriculture in
place of the present minister, Tom
Williams.
Holds Out Hope
He held out hope to Britons that
there may be more variety avail
able fo- their diet because "some
other foods are not quite SO diff
cult to obtain"
Strachey defended the United
States, which has been critized as
living in plenty while the rest of
the world suffered from short ra-
tons and famine.
Criticism Easy
'1t's rather easy for all Of US to
start criticizing America just now
because she is better fed than we
are" he said. But do we realize
that at this moment there are idle
flour mills and bread ques in
American cities because Of the
amount of wheat America is striv-
ing to send overseas? Surely this
effort is something which the
Americans have a right to be proud
Of"
strachey leaves Monday for
Ottawa, Canada, to negotiate a
three or four-year agreement on
wheat supplies, which he said he
hoped would provide for our main
supply of wheat in the coming
period" From Canada he will go
to Washington for further food
discussions.

DE CAULLE WARNS
OF DICTATORSHIP
Former French President
Breaks Long Silence
On Sunday

BAYEUX, France, June 16.-R-
Gen. Charles deGaulle broke a six
months political silence Sunday
in a ringing speech in which ne
assailed "the menace of dictator
ship" in France and called for
a two-house legislature and a
strong executive for the fourth
republic.
DeGaulle, speaking at ceremonies
commemorating his triumphant
return to France in 1914, declared
that the new Constituent Assem-
bly, resulting from the recent
french elections should clearly
separate the executive. legislative
and judicial powers of the govern
ment to safeguard the nations
democracy.
Plan Rejected
The last Constituent Assembly
drafted a proposed constitution for
the fourth republic which would
have created an all-poWerful one
house legislature and reduced the
President to the status of figure
head. The French voters rejected
the Communist-supported proposal
in a referendum.
deGaulle advocated a constitu-
ton almost exactly like that urged
by the popular Republican Move
ment party (MRP), whose leader,
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault,
is a candidate for the interim
presidency. Thus, deGaulle placed
himself squarely in opposition to
the Communist party's proposals.
Stepped Aside
Referring to his resignation as
President of the provisional govern
ment last January, deGaulle said
he had stepped aside so that he
would not become involved Sin
political party fights" and so that
none could maintain that he exert
ed influence in the work of the
Constituent Assembly.

that IF there is no further modifi-
cation of the cabinet plan l see
no reason why we should not ac-
cept."
Gandhi To Wait
Gandhi, addressing a prayer
meeting three hours after the pro-
posal was disclosed exhorted his
listeners to wait, watch and
pray" and said acceptance would
be guided by mature considera-
ton of the greatest good to all"
The British said that invitations
had been issued to IA representa-
tive Indian leaders to participate
in a government which would adj
minister this huge subcontinent
while a constituent assembly drafts
a charter for independence.
Majors Equal
The cabinet would be made up of
five members of the Moslem
in the interim regime. There was
no reaction Sunday from either the
MoSlem league or Congress party,
but the joint statement by the Cabi-
net mission and the Victory made
clear that the British would pro-
coed with ar interim government
even though participation is de-
clined by any Of the individuals in
vited to join the cabinet or by the
Congress and the Moslem league.
Alternates Possible
If the invitations to join the GOV.
eminent are accepted ''the Viceroy
will aim at inaugurating the new
government about June 26." A

of those invited is unable for per-
sonal reasons to accept the Viceroy

other person in his place"
