CLOTHING CARDS ARE
PROPOSED IN GERMANY

Berlin, June 1.-THE question OF
supplying the poorer classes of the
German population with clothing has
just been taken up at a conference OF
the members OF the Imperial Clothing
Commission and Representatives Of
the textile industry.
The manufacturers assured tho COM
mission that they are able to furnish
wooden, Nnen and cotton fabrics,
enough for the entire nation. provided
all waste IL stopped and tho consump-
ton reduced as much as possible. To
accomplish this 10 was decided to pro-
pose the introduction Of clothing cards
to tho Federal Council.
The cards will entitle every person
to a certain amount OF textile goods
at a fixed price. Manufacturers and
merchants will not be allowed 70
charge more than the maximum price
fixed by the commission and tho poor
est classes will receive the necessary
clothing from the government. The
manufacture of fine and costly fabrics
Ia to be reduced to q minimum and
may be stopped entirely.
