FOOD RATIONS, AND WHY
British Ministry's.
Four Reasons LONDON, Jan. 8 (Router),—– The Food Ministry announces to-day, the following reasons for |rationing:
1. It prevents the waste of food. We must not ask sailors to bring un- necessary food cargoes at the risk of their lives,
2-It increases the war effort. Reduction of the purchases of food abroad releases ships bringing other Imports.
3. It divides supplies equally. 1-Ii provents uncertainty.
Not A Deprivation Properly regarded, it is a system unt of deprivation but of convenience, With the quantities assured and al- ternatives available, the diet of the nation will lose nothing in food values, while the relief to shipping which arc will free It for cargoes vital to victory.
