I think the time has come to reconsider the present rationing policy which deals piecemeal with particular commodities. The clothing scheme has been well received indicates a different line of approach to the problem. I think that there is too great a readiness to assume that no alteration of the pre-war channels of distribution is possible or desirable. In the pre-war period, there was a steady increase in the proportion of national activity devoted to the distributive rather than the productive side of the industrial machine.
