FOOD SHORTAGE AND PROHIBITION.
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 hare come to the conclusion that the best way in which we can accomplish this end is by supporting " The Strength of Britain Movement "—an organization conducted by capable business men. Their object is the " Spectator's " object—to obtain Prohibition during the War.
