BREAD RATIONING SUGGESTED

Slrr- The 531511.111 novelist sno lecturer Vera rlttain, recently made an urgent appeal to a large Toronto aud ence on behalf of the Ineeély people of several European ta

n s. In spite of widely published re- POTlS l0 llle wfllllllrl’. the opinion o,f UNRRA officials and other qualified observers (including Vera Brlllaln) is ‘hat. serious conditions of fc-zxl shortage will continue for months to come end that the re- sults of . under-nourishment will manifest themselves over a, period of years.

The courageous example of the Government ._f Great Britain in confronting the people there with lhe unpopular prozram .12 bread rationing and curtailment of the use of cakes ".110 pastries, 1s surely something which We, in Canada. might well afford to follow. If we are lhe best fen nation or. earth as I believe we are, then we ought 1o be willing to stzare our bounfy". Individual action is good, but l1 ls not enough.
