M'ADOO DENIES THE
REQUEST OF SENATE
London, June 14. Tribute is paid
to Baron Rhondda by the newspapers
on the completion of his first year in
office as food controller. One news
paper, which voices the general opin
ion, says:
"The best tribute to his workers is
supplied by enemy sources. The Ger
man censor, in order to continue the
delusion of a people who fondly im
agine we are undergoing a process of
starvation, has forbidden any allusion
to the British food controller's notable
achievements. Prices have been es
tablished, the queue no longer exists
and rationing is working smoothly.
"If the populations of the central
powers were acquainted with the com
fortable food, situation in this country
a social revolution in Germany and
Austria would be hastened In no in
consderable degree."
