TitleNote on the Committee's appraoch to rationing
Date3 December 1917
DescriptionUrges the committee to come to a conclusion whether to accept the rationing scheme and do their best to guide it, or to fight against the scheme. Suggests that the main considerations are 'the attitude of the working classes and the labour leaders' and the advantages of a definite scheme in distributing American imports of food among the Allies. Repeats the warnings against rationing bread -- suggests that fat consumption among the upper classes should be targeted -- stresses the need to divert cereals from livestock food to human use. Notes that any ration will likely be met with resistance and stresses the need to instruct the public.
