conditions, the trade to Local could not be sold. He had also asked the Governor to report regarding the liquidation of enemy firme. The balance of the proceeds after liquidation would be in ihn hands of the Government. The ultimate disposal of them would not be settled until peace, and would, presumably, depend on the. action of the enemy with regard to Allied private property in enemy countries.

He AAW no reason why they should ed to 2,500,000 tons. not produce half a million, tons in the six months ending December. The Government were largely buying Australian wheat, and we were giving wheat and shipping assistance to Franco and Italy. The War Office would specially consider the demand for labour by English farmers, who were whoat- planting. The new foodstuffs regulations were particularly. applicable to flour. Whole with four would not be milled in future, but much so-called offal would be retained.
Sir Edward Carson said the House expected even more drastic proposals,
Mr. Wardle, representing the Labour Members, welcom- ed the proposals, but criticised the Government for not or ganising the food supplies earlier.
Mr. Collins demanded.drastic treatment of the drink question and Mr. Bathurst thought the proposals would ter- rorise Germany more than anything since military compul- zion. He suggested the prohibition of fancy bread and cakes. Sir Leo Chiozza Money urged that shipping should be rigidly restricted to the transport of food and necessarier.
The debate on Mr. Hancimanis proposals was adjourned. The scheme generally' was most favourably received.
