CLOTHING RATIONED
GERMAN CARD SYSTEM [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. October 30, 2 p.m.) LONDON, October 29. The Copenhagen correspondent of “The Times” states that the “Politiken” learns cloth rationing cards are being introduced in Germany, owing to the unpopularity of the present system, under which an application for anything from a handkerchief to a frock or a suit is granted only after careful investigation, and personal official visits to the applicant’s home, in order to inspect the wardrobe. The card representing the annual ration comprises 150 coupons. One gives the right to buy a collar, 25 a child’s frock, and 40 to 50, a woman’s cloak.
Business circles fear the simultaneous use of all coupons, thus paralysing trade.
