London, Feb. 13.?Andrew Hone.r Law, chancellor of the exchequer and government leader In the iou.se of commons, replying to criti isms of the government with respect to its home policy, said that In 1917 the national service department baa put into the army 820,645 additional men and placed In employment at homo 731.000 men and 804,000 women. Referring to the food prodi ction he said that the cereal production in England In 1917 amounted to 850,000 tons, and In addition the country had produced an extra 3,000,000 tons oi potatoes. England, said the chancellor, was the only country in the war where there had not been a dlmlnjtlon In food production. A million additional gcres were being put under the plow. This year 800,000 acres more 1 ad been cultivated In England and 400,000 more in Scotland and Ireland. The total stocks of wheat in Great Brit? ain at the end of December, 1917, ex godded those at the end of December, ltlf. by 1.0(0,000 quarters. In 1917 thsre was built in Great Britain 1, 1C3.474 tona of shipping and 170, 000 tons were obtained from abroad. The chancellor explained that the premier's estimate of ship construction was not realized because the govern? ment had arranged to have a large quantity of tonnage built In America but when America came Into the war aha preferred, as the British would have preferred ,to take the tonnage herself. Hut the tonnage wan there. Emphasising the value of the ship? ping controller's work. Bor ar Law said that. In spite of the dimunition In ships and in spite of the lact that Great Britain had lent 1,500,000 gross tons for the use of her lilies in September, October and November. nation had actually imported the aame amount aa has been Imported from February to April. It had been suggested, sa d the chancellor, that because Amer ca had entered the war, Great Britain ought to have to spend less. Amer ca has given great help not only to Great Britain's allies but to Britain lerself. for which Britain could not be too grateful. SEVEN BILLION TIN FANS WANT? ED.
