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 se. serious that we hare 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 we can accomplish this end is by supporting "The Strength of Britain Movement "—an organization conducted by capable business tnen. Their object is the " Spectator's " object—to obtain Prohibition during the War.
1Ve 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 till things get worse it will be too late—the Barley which might hare become Bread wilt hare become Beer.
For these reasons we urge those of our readers who wish to make the country absolutely safe--and who is there who wilt dare io say that he would rather see the Trade in intoxicants saved than the country placed in absolute safety'—to forward their subscriptions to us, and we will see that they are made use of by " The Strength of Britain Movement."
Subscriptions should be addressed to THE " SPECTATOR," 1 Wellington Street, Strand, London, W.C.
The letters "D. G." should be clearly written_ on the envelope. Cheques should be made payable to the " Spectator " and crossed "Barclay & Co., 'Goslings' Branch, Spectator D. G.' Account;' or can be paid direct into the Spectator "D. C." account as above. The receipt of subscriptions will be acknowledged in our columns.
