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. “

th at $1,000,000 be appropriated by the
city to buy food for distribution a t

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
