THE MEN WHO

BE

WILL "DICTATORS"

(By A Diplomatic Correspondent)

In the event of any future outbreak of war Britain will be transformed almost over-night from the peace- time footing into a state of the utmost efficiency for en- gaging in a difficult conflict.

This is the intent of the plans set out in Britain's "War Book," to which Mr. Baldwin referred in the House of Commons recently.

To-day I am able to disclose the most important measures contained in the "War Book." These include:

A vast rationing plan operated by a food controller; Air defence in five stages and with new weapons; Immediate arrest of every enemy alien;

A plan to make food hoarding impossible.

The problem of Britain's food supplies in time of war is airendy being discussed by the Board of Trade officials in consul- tation with food producers.

The Co-operative movement and other chain-store organi- sations are being called into conferences to estimate the amount of food available at any given moment.

I understand that Sir William Beveridge, the famous economist who was a rationing official in the last war, will be appointed Britain'ei Food Controller if the need arises.

Here is the plan he would be call- {~ ed upon to operate. Ration cards will be supplied to every Lumily Two children will count as one adult. The food plan provides for extra rations for miners, formers, and workers in shipbuilding, iron- mould- Ing, and other beavy duties.

Shopkeepers will be compelled to keep a register of customers, and will only ho-allowed appro- priate stocks Goods in stock at the outbreak of war are to be Bet against any fresh supplies they are allowed.

Similarly, wholesalers must keep a register of retailers, and their sup

'piles will be regulated accordingly.
