"In his letter the chairman has told us how, in order to ward off so much illness, his committee, displaying the very best of goodwill and stopping at no sacrifice, has arranged for the distribution to the children of a daily supplementary meal.
The chairman sorrowfully adds, how. ever, that unhappily, owing to insuficient means, the Commission has found itself unable to prepare and supply such extra food to all the babies who have need of it.

But he that as it may, I think I can best refute the charge levelled against me of wishing to make a profit out of the necessities of the nation by remind ing your toaders that soon after the outbreak of hostilities I recommended the Government to take over the control of the Admiralty collieries, only leaving the proprietors the income they had been receiving prior to the war, but this was told was impracticable; while I have since repeatedly and publicly ex pressed the opinion that no man should be allowed to make profit out of the war -consequently your correspondent's charges leave my withers unwrung.
Another misconception of his is that some particular group control all the am personally collieries with which I associated. This again is not the case. I am interested in some collieries with certain friends, and in other collieries with a different group of friends. The blame, therefore, whatever it amounta to, of controlling ten million tons must, I fear, rest upon my humble shoulders alone. Ten million tons, by the way, is about four per cent. of the total out put of the United Kingdom. I question myself whether the control of four per cent, can exercise a paramount influence on the price of any commodity, and the dangers your correspondent forecasts need not, it seems to me, excite any immediate public alarm.. His wider business knowledge and experience, how ever, leads him to think otherwise.
Let me assume, for the purpose of argument, that the figure of £3,500,000 which ho gives as the actual profits of South Wales collieries during 1915 in correct.
