RATION.TOKEN BENEFITS
CITED, ABUSES FEARED
BY AUTHORITIES
CONTINUED from First Pasel

The OPA tokens which the pub
lie will receive in change for cou-
pom purchases next week are small; 4;
in fact, too small to suit merchants
and other interested parties. In
some quarters there is apprehen-
sion that it won't be long before
counterfeiters will reproduce them
in large quantities.
What is not so clear is the atti-
tude of the general public. Here
tOfOre. unused stamps lost their
value and there was nothing any
one could do with coupons which
had not been used while they were
valid. Under the new system, this
individual can make low-pOint pur-
chases with his ten-point stamps.
and over a period of time can ac-
cumulate a considerable amount
of tokens which never lose their
validity.
The honest citizen can thus save
up considerable point-purchasing
power toward the acquisition of
ham and other articles. This
WOulu CONSTITUTE llOdlu lOl
purpose which. according to the
letter of the law. is legitimate.
However. the public is thus en-
abled to build up a large potential
point -value-demand which may be
presented to tradesmen quite un-
expectedly. and with great season.
al fluctuations.
While the authorities know how
many tokens have been manufac-
tured and distributed. after while
the outstanding OPA currency in
circulation can only be guessed at,
in numbers as well as in geographi-
cal locations.
Holding of the new tokens for
curiosity or by collectors could
also be factor.
In the mean time. law-enforce-
ment officers are hopeful that
abuses will he kept to a minimum.
