FOOD CONSUMPTION IN GERMANY.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—It is, I think, fair to Mr. W. Harbutt Dawson to say that the figures relating to food consumption among German workers quoted by Lord Goschen at the Queen's Hall, and referred to by you in the Spectator of November 28th, were taken from his essay on the working of Protection in Germany, which appears in the collection of studies on "Labour and Protection" published by Mr. Fisher Unwin.
