SILK STOCKINGS
RATIONING INQUIRIES Although no detailed scheme for the rationing of silk stockings in New Zealand has been announced, the Government is understood to have made inquiries concerning the system in force in the United Kingdom, with a view to studying its suitability for adoption by the Dominion. A difficulty is, however, that in Britain stockings are distributed on the coupon system, as part of the general clothes rationing, a certain number of coupons being used each time stockings are purchased. Since there is no clothes rationing in New Zealand, it is obvious that the United Kingdom procedure cannot be adopted as a whole. It is understood, however, that the Government is endeavouring to devise some means of ensuring a fairer distribution of supplies.
