FOOD SHORTAGE AND PROHIBITION.
AN APPEAL.
The situation created by the. Shortage of Food and the continued destruction of cereals in the manufacture of intoxicants is so serious that we have determined to ask our readers to subscribe, on as generous a scale as possible, to a movement to awaken the British people to the dangers they are running by neglecting to insist that Bread must come before Beer. After careful considera, tion we have come to the conclusion that the best way in which ire can accomplish this end is by supporting " The Strength of Britain Movement"—an organisation conducted by capable business men. Their object is the " Spectator's " object—to obtain Prohibition during the War.
We demand then at the very least Prohibition of the destruction of foodstuffs in the manufacture of intoxicants.
If the food now wasted in brewing is to help us, that waste must be stopped quickly. If we wait tilt things get worse it will be too late—the Barley which might have become Bread will have become Beer.
For these reasons ire urge those of our readers who wish to make the country absolUtely safe--and•who is there who will dare to say that he would rather see the Trade in intoxicants saved than the country placed in absolute safetylto forward their subscriptions to us, and we-will see that they are made use of by 51 The Strength of Britain Aforement."-
