AIL IMPORTS TO BE CURTAILED Mu«l Take Druntir Mrmxurra Against Huthlraa W arfare of Germana or N ation Will Face IMaaater. lamtlon David Lloyd George, the B ritish prim e m iniater, Friday pre- aented to the hoiiMo of commona, in a a|t«e<'h lusting an hour and a half, hia program for coping w ith the aerioua aitualion arising from the shortage of shipping apace, depletion of fo<a! atia'ka and the German aubm arine menace. The prem ier advix-ated the increaae of home f(aal production and the cu r tailm ent of non-victual im|*>rts. To thia end he outlined a plan for apeial- ing up the farm er by guaranteeing g«*xi pricea for comnxalitiea over a |M-ri<al of yeara. Thia he supplement- •si by the announcem ent th at the land owner would be forced to cultivate hia land. The s|>ef<ling up of the farm laborer waa provided for by the prem ier by guaranteeing him a minimum wage of 25 shilling* per week inatead of the preaent 14 to 18 shilling*. Hy curtailm ent of irn|a»rta, Mr. l.loyd George aaid he expected to reduce the demand* on cargo apace by aeveral million tona. FoodatufTa, of which 16.000. 000 tona were im[>orted laat year, will be cut nearly 1,000,000 tona by lopping off certain luxuries. P aper uaera who already have been consider- ably curlaileil, muat henceforth get along w ith only half the aupply they are now receiving, thua Having 640,000 tona. C ertain Having* alao will be- eirected in the im|a>rt of ore, which now amounta to 8,000,000 tona annual ly and in lumber, which at preaent ia 4.000. 000 tona. Mr. l.loyd George aaid th at for aome tim e there haa been a abort age of ton nage required for the general needa of the nation and even a alight ahortage in the tonnage for m ilitary pur|a*aea. The nation ahould realize absolutely w hat the conditiona were. “ If we take draatic m easures,” he continue«!, “ wc can cope with the sub m arine, but if the nation is not pre pared to accept draatic m easures for «lealing w ith the menace, disaster ia before us. ” represent 800 residents of the West End d istric t and a delegation from the H ousew ives’ le a g u e made an unsuc cessful attem p t Thursday to see Gov ernor McCall to rtxjueat him to take some action toward reducing the pres ent high prices of food. The women aaid th eir fam ilies were facing sta rv a tion and th at im m ediate relief waa necessary. Governor McCall, who waa engage«l when the delegation arrived, issued the following statem en t: “ We are in a sta te of war so fa r as prices are concern«*]. The exports from this country during January were a t the ra te of $7,600,000,000 a year, which is altogether too much of a drain upon the m aterial resources of the Nation. “ We exchange our f«xjd for gold, but in the last analysis fixxl is far move necessary to the people than gold. We can eat one but we cannot eat the other. “ Foreign countri«* have found it necessary to regulate the prices of food. The fcxal controller of G reat B ritain recently fix«*J the maximum price of potato«* bought by the pound at $1.90 a bushel. The price in Bos ton ia $4.20 a bushel, and so w ith other articles. “ If there ia ground for interference in Kngland and up«*n the continent there certainly is as much groun«l for interference in the Unite«l S tates and for action in defense of our people, many of whom are threatened w ith starvation. “ New York Mayor Mitchell Wwlnes- day night instruct«*l the police, health and ch arities departm ents, to make a thorough invealiagtion of food condi tiona throughout the g re ater city and re|M>rt to him im m ediately, when he will place before the Eioard of eati- m ate a re«pieat of E ast Side housewives th at $1,000,000 be appropriated by the city to buy food for distribution a t reasonable prices. Thia action on the p art of the mayor followed a resum ption of rioting among housewives in various parts, of the city and a v isit to him of a com m ittee of women who declared th eir children were starving because of the high cost of foodstuffs.
