In England, whitehaired David Llyod George, 73, the Hitle Welsh lion who galvanhed and led the British In 1916-18, has appointed himself a scourge to the Chamberlain Gavernment an the subject of Food

His model farm at Chuft Survey is but part of his creden- ials as Food expert he revealed last week that he faced (and averted) a moment in 1917 "when we were within three weeks of having no bread in the country."

Better a long war than a mean get-opt.

NOT ENOUGH

MORE MOUTHS TO FEEDD But Britain now has some 4,000,- 000 more mouths to feed (commit- ting all Irish) than in 1914. Her food imports of £295,000,000 in 1914 rose to £431,000,000 in 1999

Mr. Lloyd George's contention while total home food production Is that the Government farm sub-rose only from £180,000,000 to sidy, passed last June, awarding £224,600,000.

PREMIERS' REPLY

Prime Minister Chamberlain re- pried that his eloquent predeces- sor. whom he lumped among "venerable prophets of agricul- Lure was unduly alarmed. The government's programme besides bringing 2,000,000 acres back into cultivation, includes urging people. to grow their own vegetables, en-" couraging subsistence farming.
