31. F abundance and Price Rising
The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly give
way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing (定
量供应) is virtually suspended (暂停), and overseas suppliers (供应商) have
been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is wide-spread
uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising when there seems to
be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to
stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at
home? No one knows what to expect.
32. Rea
The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has
certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two
successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a third.
Most of Britain’s overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year
and home production has also risen.
33. E of Food Situation
But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has
been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the
gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked
(存货过多) with food out only because there is more food available, but also
because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.
34. Fa of World Prices
Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world
pries have begun to fall with the result that imported food, with the exception
of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain
prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be
enabled to benefit form this trend.
35. The Res of Farmers Fear
The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The
older generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and
market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap
food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51
per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion
to 60 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial (内阁的) advice is carrying
little weight and the expansion programme is not working very well.
