“Pretty grim" was the typical reaction of the British "little mnflandhlawlfetotlsencwa that their present weakly melt ration-which allows about two pork chops apiece-was being cut by one-seventh. that ‘their cherished tea. ration would be held m two ounces a week. and their occasions-l drive into the country l. thing of the past.

The moat ration was sliced to one shillings worth (20 cents) a weak-twopencc (four cents) thin- ner than it ever was during the war. g

The tea ration, already a source of complaint to tea-loving Britons, was frozen at the lowest level it reached during the darkest days of the war.

A slash of l5 to l8 per cent was ordered in food supplies now used by restaurants and hotels, which millions depend upon to supple- ment rations at home. The period a person can stay at s. hotel with- out surrendering his ration book was reduced from four days to two.

The import of certain luxury fnods_ to be announced later, was prohibited.

Foreign travel for pleasure aft-er ‘Oct. l was stopped by s. ban on funds for that purpose. Cook's Travel Agency estimated that the regulation had blighted the hopes of 100,000 Britons who had hoped to "get away from it all" by going to the continent for winter sports. Now they will have to go to Eire, the channel Islands or other places in the sterling area, or stay home. The foreign travel cut affects business men as well, for the pra- sent £10 s day the Government allows a man to taka out of the country on business trips will be. brought down to £8.

The announcement said the re-. strictlons, decided upon at last Monday's emergency Cabinet meat- ing, were "designed to reduce our consumption of goods and services purchased abroad. particularly from hard currency (dollar) areas." and added:

"Further measures of this kind may ba required, but by themselves they will not suffice. The positive ride of the program is to increase home production of goods hither- to bought abroad and to expand our exipott trade."
