»\ FOOD RATIONING MAY SOON BE INTRO- DUCED THROUGHOUT THE DOMINION Food Conl roller Thomson Will Exercise Compulsory Regulation Stopping Waste of FoodBtuffs. A (lespaU'h from Ottawa says: The new Food ("'ontiollfv, Mr. II. B. Thomson, will, it is understood, follow up the prelimiimry odiicntional oam- rniKn of hi. predecessor, Hon. W. J. llniinu, with >i scries of concrete mid drastic restrictive regulations s( op- pi. iK food .VHste ami mcetinR, so far as puhsihU', the luueiil demand.s of tho allies for increased food supplies from Tanuda. S'* far, with the exception of tlie regulations irovorninjr meatless days in hotels and piildic* eatini; places, Ihcic has-beoii comparatively little done hcyond exhortation to the public to conserve food, cut down consump- tion, and eliminate wa.sU". The new! Controller believes the time haa come for further compulsory regulations in the way of rationing:. There Is little prospect of Increas- ing production this year sufflciently to meet even in an approximate way th«i food requests of the allies to I anaiK-i. The only other way of supplying the need is by Bavins' twenty-five per cent, or more of the normal domestic consumption, thus increasing the exportable surplus by that amount. United States Food Controller Hoover will deal in a similar way with food consumption aeioss the border, and regulations in CauHila and the United States will be co-ordinated according ta mutual recjuirementa and objects.

Although the Food .Administnitioirs plans contemplate creating the export surplus largely by viduntary methods, Some measures of forced conservation will be employed, notably in tlu! con- sumption of wheat floui, which will be reduced by arbitrary means at least thirty per cent.
