WORLD SHORTAGE OF RICE.

REDUCED BURPLUS FROM BURMA.

ALLOCATION OF SUPPLIES.

Mr. Fisher's announcement in the House of Commons on March 7, on behalf of the India Office, of conces sions made to Ceylon in the price of part of the rice allotment to the island has a direct bearing on the circum- stances in which control of Barma rice has been maintained, and on the apyears. parent anomaly of the advance in this courtry from the controlled retail rate in war of 4d. to 7d. in peace.

India has no surplus to export, and actually com- petes with foreign countries for the
