President Roosevelt, in order to

might enable releasing larger trans

With the construction of the Sea-

a dead end, as has ever plagued a
politics-ridden democracy.
A congressional committee inves-

that the ship had never been given

TOO little and too late"

That's the way the British. de-
scribe their rationing
Admitting that they are still
experimenting, nevertheless, Brit
ish leaders want 10 pass along
some warnings as to their expert
enceS.
The current issue Of Business
Week, carries special article
which reports that some goods
vanished entirely, inventories Of
others are rapidly dwindlng and
consumers with money and fore
sight stocked up. which has caused
a social reaction from the mass of
public
Rationing must begin before
boarding is prevalent to be eff
fective.
Other conclusions drawn from
British rationing experience, as
reported by Business Week, in
clude.
ID Rationing has to applied
differently to different things.
Tea, sugar. and bacon may be
rationed individually by quantity:
meat, because of wide variations
in type and price, must be rationed
by value.
GU Even when the supply IS
very small. essential items of both
food and clothing can be rationed.
The Englishmen have willingly
accepted one egg a week because
they knew no other Englishmen
had more. And one suit a year is
possible when no one in the whole
country is allowed more.
(3) Such durable goods AS auto
mobiles and radios may not need
10 be bought by everybody during
the war. The solution is TO require
the prospective purchaser 10 show
need.
t4) Not all essential II e m s
should be rationed equally. Miners
need more milk and fresh vege-
tables than people who work in
fresh air.
60 Rationing of new durable
goods will not be effective unless
the second hand market is also
controlled.
go Rationing can never be COM
pletely effective unless goods are
more or less standardized, both as
TO quality and packaging.
% Prices of rationed goods
must be controlled or the project
will fail 10 accomplish the desired
results.
(S) Large stores and chains fair
better than small units when
rationing is left 10 the manufac-
turer because it is less costly to
serve them.
so Voluntary merging of retail
erS for the duration has not
worked in Britain. and the slow
process Of elimination neceSSitated
by steadily declining trade volume
is costly for every one.

Moreenthau Tax
Plea Big Blow
TO Securities
BY B. c. FORBES

Stocks started off last week
rather cheerfully, but Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau dealt
securities a blow by urging that
all outstanding state. municipal
and Such-like taX-exempt bonds
be subjected TO federal income
tax.
This is not the first time Mr..
Morgenthau--who had no finan-
cial experience before being put
at the head Of the United States
treaSury--haS made drastic, up
setting proposals; it was he who.
quite some time ago. proposed
that Congress confiscate all bust
ness earnings over 6 per cent.
Maturer minds at Washington
turned a deaf ear. Mr.. Morgen-
thau'S latest recommendation is
hardly likely 10 become law,
since millions OF investors pur-
chased these taX-free securities,
in good faith, on the basis that
they were tax free.

On the Business Front
With WARD SCHULTZ

Detroit Times Financial Editor

BRITAIN HAS tried several
kinds of rationing. the report
states. First came the ALLEGATION
10 the war industries Of all scarce
strategic raw materials. For al
most the entire two-and-a-half
years of the war the average Eng
liShman has been allowed each
month no more than enough gaso-
line TO drive his car $50 to 200
miles Recently, the ration was cut
another 10 per cent Not one new
passenger car has seen made in
Britain since 1899.
Then shops began to run low on
aluminumware. all kinds of copper
and brass gadgets. flashlights
Cbadly needed in the blackouts) !,
and electric household equipment.
The first actual retail rationing
Of daily necessities came in Janu-
airy. 1910. when the entire civilian
population was compelled to regis
ter with some neighborhood grocer
Cevery six monthS) to secure
prescribed rations of butter, bacon
and ham, sugar. and tea. Ration
cards were issued through the post
office TO each member of family.
This card-rationing card has not
changed greatly since the begin
ming but many food items have
been added TO the rationing list
all fats, meat, cheese, jam, and
eggs.
BRITAIN EXTENDED the same
card-rationing to the clothing
trades at the beginning of June,
l94l. but this time individuals
were not required to register with
specific shops and second type
of rationing scheme was set up
the point system" British clothes
rationing books each contain 66
coupons for year. Every essential
item of clothing has been assigned
a coupon or point" value-which
has nothing to do with the cost of
the garment. A pair of trousers
calls for eight coupons whether
they cost So or $40. Consumers
may spend their DO coupons a year
for whatever they wish. But the
range is small, at that. with one
suit taking almost half of years
supply.
A THIRD form of rationing
which is already familiar to the
United States has been used
reduction Of output at the manu-
featuring level From the first
there was no effort to control the
distribution OF this reduced output
TO retailers or TO the ultimate
consumer And from the first
there has been A battle between
the chains and the independents
for their fair share of the reduced
supplies, with the small independ-
ent suffering.
ALL THIS has made its imprint
on the business pattern and to-
morrow, I'll report on that.
