Letter from D Noel Paton to William B Hardy Is still sick -- notes that if the campaign to secure rationing pledges is put into action, it will be almost impossible to get subsequent modifications -- thinks it would be easy to make a case against it in the press 'if one's hands were not tied' -- is sending a letter which he hopes that Sir Alfred Kempe may approve for the 'Times' -- gives points that he thinks should be brought up before the Food Controller on the proposed rationing. 6 March 1917
