FOOD CONTROLLER STATES THE NEED OF STRICT ECONOMY Issues An Appeal to the People of Canada Urjfing Increased Pro- ductionsâ€"Adoption of War Menus and Elimination of Waste. A despatch from Ottawa says: â€" In i a statement issued Thursday night j Bon. W. J. Hanna, the newly-appoint- ed Food Controller, reviews the food , Bituation in Canada, emphasizes the need of the allies, urges economy and i the prevention of waste in food, and , bespeaks wholehearted public co- 1 operation. Mr. Hanna's statement reads in j part: [ "The outstanding fact of the food situation, which it is imperative that every citizen of Canada should realize at once, is that Great Britain, France, ! Italy, Belgium ami European allies are • wholly unable to supply the allied armies at the front and on the way. For nearly three years thoir man- , power has been engaged in the direct work of war, and in .some cases large areas of their mo.st productive lands have been over-run by the enemy. Their food shortage and the food to supply the armies of Canada and the Uniti'd States must be wholly provid- ed from this side of the Atlantic. The ! supply must also be sufficient to cov- ' er losses at sea. Australia, New Zea- land, the Argentine Republic and other 'â-  countries are not now available to re- ' licve the situation because of their re-' moteness and the shortage of tonnage. "The crop of storable foods grown in Canada and the United States suit- able for shipment overseas threatens to be entirely inadequate to meet the demand unless the whole people de- termine by every means in their power to make up the shortage. Every in- dividual is under a direct obligation to assist in rationing the allied forces. There must be national self-denial and national co-operation to provide the necessary supplies. "Time and investigation will be re- quired to determine the best means of assuring adequate rations for the Canadian divisions and the allied na- tions and armies. But these are some measures that are so obviously right that we ask that they be adopted at once and that the men and women of the Dominion pledge themselves to their observance. They include: "Maximum production; the largest possible consumption of perishable foodstuffs in order to liberate the storeable foods for transportation; the adoption of war menus; the prevention of food waste; the utilization and crea- tion of organized volunteer bodies to assist the Food Controller in increas- ing and conserving the food supplies."

In June 16 per cent, of the miners at Dodelange struck, whereupon the Crerinans Is- sued a threatening notice to all towns in Luxemburg forbidding meetings and declaring that the demonstra- tions would be suppressed by force of arras and the leaders arrested for treason and tried by court-martial. The Luxemburg Government pro- tested strongly against the new at- tack against Luxemburg sovereignity. The Germans replied with "slaves" from the Etappe region, compelling them to replace the strikers. The following day l.OtM) more deported Belgians arrived at Luxemburg. The strike leaders were summoned before the military governor and flatly in- formed with menaces that the strike must cease.
