spokesmen describe the retail
shortage as artificial" and attrib-
uted 1t to boarding on the part Of
producers and excessive buying by
consumers.

Allotted on Monthly Basis.
Paper products for household
uses are being delivered to retailers
on a strict monthly allotment basis,
and when a dealers monthly supply
is exhausted he is unable to obtain
additional stocks. A survey of Dis
trict retailers showed that many
were sold out of household paper
products completely.
Signs have gone up at some local
soda fountains announcing that soft
drinks sold in paper cups would be
or 2 cents extra.
One Washington paper wholesaler
said he was unable to get supplies
promptly, "if at all" He attributed
the shortage principally to small
consumers, trying to buy two or
three times their normal require
ment," and expressed confidence
that the situation would iron itself
out if buyers would keep purchases
down to normal.
O. p. M. Warns Industry.
The o. P. M, however appeared
to think a large portion of the
trouble lay in manufacturers and
distributors allowing their inven-
tories to go beyond "a practicable
working minimum"
A warning that drastic action"
under the priorities regulations
would be taken against those guilty
of this practice was issued in the
form of a bulletin to pulp and paper

verters, printers, publishers, and all
