THE CLOTHING RATION. Memo. by the President of the Board of Trade.

6 Mar 1942

(d) Consumption at the 50 coupon level, after taking into account the extra supplement, is estimated to involve the employment of 50,000 fewer workers in the textile and clothing trades, and 30,000 fewer tons of shipping space than consumption at the 60 coupon level. (e) I believe that the public will now accept, and are, indeed, expecting a sharp cut in the ration. Psychologically, it is much better to announce this at once than. to announce a slight out new and then to have to announce another one later.
