Abstract

The Week
January 24, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the food shortage in the U.S. So far there has been plenty of flour available to the consumer, and the price has been kept within reasonable bounds, although it has been told considerably less wheat has been produced than would meet all the needs of the country and the Allies. The deficit is in a way to be made up by voluntary wheatless days in homes and is to be further covered by compulsory regulation of eating establishments. Meat and other commodities are controlled in a similar manner and have dropped in price. But the government is taking timely measures for the protection of all the parties interested in the problem from producer to consumer.
