PROJECTED REVISIONS in ra-
tioning should go far to reduce the
irritation and inconvenience suf-
fered by many business men and
consumers. We learn from Wash
ington that only 16-point ration
stamps will be used for point foods,
that consumers will receive change
in the form of tokens, and that ra-
tiOn coupons will have no eXpira-
tiOn date. The paper work of re-
tailers will be reduced substant-
tally. There will be fewer coupons
to handle and these will be of uni
form value. The housewife will be
saved minor headaches by the
abolition of expiration dates. Their
irregularity has meant that many
discovered too late that coupons
were no longer valid.
For prOcessed foods (blue) cou-
pons, this change will probably
mean smaller purchases. There will
be no necessity for using ones
coupons. as many have undOubted-
ly done. rather than to permit them
to expire unused. However, it is
questionable whether the same pro-
cedure should he followed for the
eat-fats-cheese coupons. Because
of the perishable nature of these
products. il is more essential that
supply and demand be brought into
balance in each period. This would
avoid waste at some times and
shortages (Which make it impOss-
ible to honor ration couponsl at
others. The Canadians have long
recognized the desirability of plac-
ing no expiration date upon the
coupons for products which may be
boarded; but coupons for perish
able products, such as meat and
butter, are valid in Canada only for
designated dates.
This change in policy concerning
expiration dates could usefully be
adopted in connection with shoe
rationing. Last June there were
scenes of wild disorder in the shoe
stores as people tried to use their
coupons before they became inval-
id. 1t is generally agreed that many
persons bought shoes unnecessar-
lily, thus increasing the demand
This problem will arise again at
the end of October. when coupon
No Is expires To avoid a repeti-
ton of the June episode, OPA
should announce Immediately that
coupon No. Is may he used beyond
October 81. The overlapping of
coupons might lead to their use in
accordance with normal purchas-
ing habits. 1t would thus spread
the selling load and avoil concen-
trated purchases at the end of each
ration period. In any event, the
effective demand for shoes would
not be greater than at present.
it would be substan-
TALLY less. for it would remove the
buying psychology which the pres
ent system encourages.
