RATIONING OF CLOTHES
( United Pros** Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received June 7, 3.15 p.m.) LONDON, June 6 The rationing of clothes commands widespread approval. The Economist suggests that the rationing of the total expenditure on all goods may be the Treasury’s final act to close loopholes against inflation. The rationing of clothes will cause a drastic reduction in the outlay of rich people, who are estimated to have spent half the national prewar dress bill, consequently there is a prospect of a still greater inflow of money into war bonds.
