Another Period
OF Bleak Times
Set By British

LONDON.-Another year of aus.
terity in food supplies lies ahead
for Britain in 1949.
DR.. Edith Summerskill, Parlia.
neantary Secretary to the Ministry
Of Food, said that there existed Lit.
tie hope Of improving rations OF
meat. bacon and butter. AS far as
meat Is concerned, she added that
the outlook was gloomy"
The opposition, which had con-
Quoted a lively exchange with the
Government for three hours, mark
ed their disapproval of the Food
Ministry's policies by calling for a
vote on the question Of adjourn
ment. The motion was defeated,
716 to 1T.
Meat Outlook Uncertain
Both DR.. Summerskin and her
chief, John Strachey, Minister Of
Food, said that the outlook for meat
deliveries next year was complicat-
ed by uncertainties concerning Ar
gentina's ability to live up to con-
tractural obligations on deliveries.
Mr.. Strachey said that so long as
Argentina was able to maintain
shipments under the andes Agree
ment" the present level of distribu-
ton could be maintained. He added
that a ~far-reaching and serious cor
tingency would arise if deliveries
were not fulfilled.
Trade sources here in the last
week have criticized the Govern
ment bulk buying policies with re-
gard to meat. They have blamed
the current lag in Argentine meat
shipments on the Latin American
country negotiating new contracts
at more favorable prices with such
countries as Belgium and the Meth
erlands.
Today these charges along with
a number of allegations that the
British Government was importing
luxury foodstuffs such as grapes
and wines instead of concentrating
purchases upon staple items were
voiced in the debate.
Mr.. Strachey defended the bulk
purchasing procedure and added
that the country was taking luxury
foods from France for instance be
cause that was all that country had
to offer in payment for British
goods.
Ration Very Slight
The Food Misister said that
while supplies Of feed stuffs for
livestock were improving it would
still be necessary to look to East
ern European countries next year
for really substantial supplies.
DR.. Summerskill told the House
that the country would have to
subsist upon bacon ration of two
a week for most of the
coming year. She said that the
butter ration (now two ounces
weekly would be maintained at
hat level in 1949. She added that
t was hoped that home production
If eggs plus imports would enable
he Government to allow every
3riton 100 eggs in the next twelve
months compared with the seven
permitted this year.
DR.. Summerskill concluded by
that because of Britain's
lollar shortage and the fact that
he country needed so many other
hings from Canada it was likely
hat Britain would have to curtail
God purchases there in the coming
ear.
