In 1915 he was Secretary to Lord Milner's Commission for Home Production of Food, and Joint Secrelary of Lord Seiborde's Committee on Agricultural Policy from 1916 to 1917. Thereafter he became General Secretary of tho Food Production Department In 1919.
Creation of the department fol¬ lowed the decision in high Govern¬ ment circles to build up a national stock of food sufficient for several months.
Previously, the British Medical Journal outlined the nation's needs as   follows:
Britalns War Needs

Last May, Sir William Beveridge accepted chairmanship of a "sub¬ committee to make necessary ar¬ rangements for a food supply for the civil population in time of war,"
On Monday, Inskip conferred with canning industry chiefs re¬ garding preparation of reserve canned supplies. It was pointed out that even bread may be canned.
Russia Speaks  Plainly
Moscow, Nov. 28. (UP) Maxim Litvinov, Soviet Foreign Commis¬ sar, denied tonight before All- IJnion Congress of Soviets that Ru.'-sia wanted lo establish a Com¬ munist regime in Spain,
"Some simpletons believe this," Litvinov told representatives from all corners of the vast Soviet Union, "but in that case we should have postponed this Congress until the time when we could Include Spain as the twelfth federated Soviet Union Republic."
Litvinov also announced "with a sense of the fullest responsibility" lhat he had been informed that Italy recently proposed to Japan the same anil-Communist agree¬ ment which exists between Ger¬ many and Japan.
"Mussolini, who has maintained correct relations with the Soviet Union for the past ten years, sud¬ denly    convinced    himself    of    the
Council to proceed under Para graph 8, Article IT,, of the Cove¬ nant, which would relegate the Spanish issue lo a secondary posi¬ tion as an internal question.
Hitler Backs Italy
Reliable quarters said that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler has notified Premier Benito Mussolini that Ger¬ many will act in accordance with Italy's desires In respect lo the re¬ quest from Spain for League inter¬ ference,
Germany found il appropriate to take the .step because she is not a member of the League. She is con¬ cerned, however, because of accusa¬ tions that she is aiding the Nationalists, and would probably be invited to send a representative If the League Council decides to examine the question,
Mussolini has steadfastly refused to participate in League activities since the League undertook eco¬ nomic sanctions as a penalty for Mussolini's campaign in Ehitopia,
It was believed, however, that Italy, desiring friendly relations with Britain, will not quit the League  in  pique  over the  matter.
It was believed more likely that Italy and Germany, having recog¬ nized General Francisco Franco's Insurgent Government, may reply by refusing to recognize Premier Francisco Largo Caballero's right (Continued On Page A-8.) ,

The rebellion started when Paez refused to surrender the dictator¬ ship as demanded by a commission sent by the artillery unit. The Dic¬ tator asked whether the commis¬ sion represented the entire Army and received a negative answer. He then rejected demands for his resignation.
At 4 p, m. the Rebels launched a heavy attack against Presidential Palace from their fortified positions in Teatro Sucre Square. The palace, where Paez remained barricaded with several loyal officers, was de¬ fended by police.
Communists Aid Rebels
The streets of the Capital were converted into veritable battlefields as Rebels and Loyalists battled for control. Rifle and machine-gun fire was incessant while the roar of light artillery was heard In sev¬ eral sections of the city.

He pictured Germany and Italy as evidently in danger of being overrun by Communis'n, I after years of flighting it, and recruiting help from tho out¬ side. Facetiously he foresaw the day when F'ascist countries, their concentration camps over¬ crowded, would ask other sig¬ natory nations to "provide a place   for  extras."
Citing two recent Soviet- Japanese border incidents, he said Japan saw that its com¬ pact with Berlin made no differ¬ ence in the Red Army's, rwwr.'. tion to such attacks. He concluded solemnl.\y
