Description | Drawn up by J Field Beale for consideration by the Food Controller. Points out that shipments of cereals in December were very small -- details efforts to make wheat from Argentina available to Europe -- suggests that the cereal supplies can probably be maintained so that it must not be necessary 'to persuade the British working man to be content with a bread ration less than sufficient to meet his physiological needs' -- puts forward objections to the proposed bread ticket scheme -- estimates some 'safe' figures of total weekly bread consumption. Tables of cereal stocks appended. |
