QUESTION

British
Government
Members
Have
Varied
Views
On
Wages
And
Export
LONDON,
Jan.
6:
a
Two
gov
ernment
members
are
in
apparent
disagreement
over
the
role
to
be
played
by
"cheap
food"
In
Bri
tain's
struggle
for
world
markets
after
the
war.
Harcourt
Johnstone,
secretary
to
the
Department
of
Overseas
Trade
told
Bristol
airplane
workers
that
food
and
other
raw
materials
must
remain
"cheap"
If
Britain
Is
to
hold
her
place
in
the
expected
fierce
battle
for
markets.
R.
S.
Hudson,
agriculture
mlnlster.be-
lleves
that
producers
must
receive
"decent"
prices.
Referring
to
a
commons
agri
culture
debate
in
which
Hudson
was
interpreted
as
"sounding
the
death
knell
of
cheap
food
policy"
Johnstone
told
the
aircraft
work
ers
he
hoped
they
would
not
be
alarmed
by
such
headlines
as
cheap
food
will
never
return.
"All
I
can
say,"
he
added,
"Is
that
they
never
do
return
then
neither
will
your
export
trade
and
the
same
applies
to
raw
materials,
which
are
in
many
cases
also
agricultural
produce,
such
as
wool
or
cotton,
flax
or
silk.
This
country
can
never
afford
to
pay
more
than
Its
competitors
for
imported
food
and
raw
materials."
Agriculture
Minister
Hudson
admitted
that
It
was
no
use
"leading
the
agricultural
laborer
up
the
garden
path
and
allowing
.him
to
think
that
he
can
nave
su.du

and
then,
after
