TitleMemo from the Royal Commission on Wheat Supplies
Date12 April 1918
DescriptionForecasts the breadstuff position through the rest of the year -- notes that the 'outlook is substantially more favourable than seemed probable a few weeks ago' -- gives a decreased rate of bread consumption and corrects some errors in previous calculations. Forecasts favourable stock supplies thanks to the efforts of the Treasury in purchasing from Argentina, and the flour millers' co-operation with higher milling standards. Sounds a warning note that the 'whole of Allied Europe is depending for its main imported supplies of breadstuffs on USA, Canada, Argentine and India'.
