RATIONING
OF
BREAD
BRITONS
ARE
NOT
very
happy
just
now
about
bread.
Part
of
thir
troubles
were
caused
,by
slowness
of
American
action.
Britain,
after
nearly
seven
years
of
a
very
monotonous
diet,
decided
to
ration
brad
which
had
escaped
rationing
even
during
the
war.
Many
sections
of
ithe
British
public
have
questioned!
the1
rfe'eessity.
Bakers
threatened
to
'revolt
and
Parliament
somewhat
i
.
.
j
relunclantly
voted
lo
go
throurh
with
the
plan.
The
London
Government
decided
on
rationing
in
order
to
release
for
emergency
use
in
Europe
400,000
tons
of
wheat
Britain
had
on
hand
or
promised.
This
helped
to
make
up
the
early
shortages
in
American
shipments
due
primarily
to
the
reluctance
with
which
Washington
moved
in
establishing
set-asides
and
price
bonuses
to
get
the
promised
wheat.
Odious
comparisons
can
do
little
good.
It
is
perhaps
only
natural
that
the
American
people,
not
having
been
so
close
to
the
war
or
the
famine,
did
not
feel
the
same
sense
of
urgency
about
relief
that
the
British
did.
But
certainly
one
can
wonder
at
the
political
timidity
of
Washington
in
not
being
ready
earlier
to
call
for
sacrifices
which
most
Americans
were
eager
to
make.
Beyond
that,
the
world
can
be
grateful
for
America's
ability
to
make
such
a
large
contribution
and
for
Britain's
hard
decision
to
tighten
even
further
the
belt
of
self-denial.
THE
CHANGE-OVER
WAR
INDUSTRY
was.
heavily
concentrated
in
the
two
central
provinces
and
to
a
lesser
extent
in
British
Columbia
and
Nova
Scotia
and
readjustment
difficulties
are
obviously
more
widespread
in
these
provinces.
In
the
Prairie
Provinces,
where
war
manufacturing
was
of
comparitively
minor
importance,
there
has
been
little
perceptible
decline
in
employment
from
the
wartime
peak.
Ontario,
Quebec,
British
Columbia
and
Nova
Scotia,
on
the
other
hand,
show
a
common
downward
trend,
the
sharper
decline
in
the
last
three
resulting
from
the
fact
that
a
much
larger
percentage
of
war
employment
was
in
industries
like
shipbuilding,
aircraft
and
munitions,
which
have
limited
peacetime
usefulness.
The
real
core
of
the
change-over
problem-
is,
of
course,
the
impact
on
specific
local
areas.
In
centres
with
a
well-established
and
widely
diversified
industry,
where
many
war
plants
could
be
converted
and
where
the
absorptive
capacity
of
the
civilian
branches
of
manufacturing
and
of
such
industries
as
construction,
transportation
and
trade
was
high,
readjustment
difficulties
have
been
at
a
minimum.
On
the
other
hand,
in
places
where
employment
had
been
abnormally
inflated
by
the
rapid
growth
of
war
industries
with
undeveloped
peacetime
possibilities,
the
change-over
has
been
much
more
keenly
felt.
Prince
Rupert
is
one
of
such
latter
places;
but,
eventually
its
strategic
position
as
the
gateway
of
a
great
hinterland
must
bring
it

industrial
prosperity.
