VOLUNTARY RATIONING

SIR,—Canada is reported to Jiave adopted with enthusiasm a scheme for the voluntary surrender of rations, and depots are now being established all over the country for the reception of contributions. Among other measures to save food is it possible that our Government will reconsider its decision not to allow any form of voluntary surrender by the people of this country, even by the elderly who are no longer working and by those engaged in sedentary occupations who can well afford to give up something without detriment to their health ?—Yours faithfully,
