Empire measures to curb food supply rush through parliament
London Nov 16 morning papers report Walter Runci man president of the board of trade will present a plan to parliament to require whole wheat flour across Britain ban fancy cakes and pastry and establish meatless days for shops and restaurants. Unionist MP William Hewins calls for government action to organize food supply amid war risk. Debate follows German submarine activity and will be discussed by Barons Beresford and Sydenham. Runciman says imports will be controlled and milk contracts issued to stabilize prices while sugar use may be restricted. A separate Allentown item reports Solomon Stenber aged 76 dies after heart failure caused by excitement while killing a chicken for dinner.
