Things to Buy
Babton Discusses Household Price
Babson Park, Mass., Aug. 7.
I still believe that those who
have protected the carcasses or
casings of their tires will be
able ?" get needed retreading
rriterial along the lines of the
experiments which were de
scribed in this column last
March. As for gas, this is
purely a matter of sinkings.
There Is plenty of gas but if
the tankers and tank cars are
not sufficient to haul gas to cer
tain sections of the country then
these sections must be severely
rationed. Readers, however,
must not let all this discussion
regarding the rubber and gaso
. line blind them to what will
.(happen to their commodities.
Is Henderson Helpless
In Inflation Current?
Leon Henderson has got a des
perate job, but he is doing the
best he can. He is like a man
trying to sail a boat against a
head wind and a strong tide.
By rowing harder he can make
a little progress in keeping down
prices; but he cannot change
the fury and direction of the
wind and tide. These are
strongly in the direction of in
flation. With a tremendous
amount of new purchasing
power released every day and a
constant reduction in available
goods, an explosion some day is
inevitable.
Mr. Henderson has done his
. best to warn us. Readers ask
me why he does not state de
finitely what additional prod
ucts will be rationed and when.
This he cannot do because it
would immediately send every
one to the store to buy these
things which he might mention.
' Every reader who has common
sense should be able to antici
pate what most of these prod
ucts will be. Generally speak
ing, they are products contain
ing metals, rubbers, or certain
chemicals. I understand there
are also other products on the
list which come under different
classifications.
Ways To Ration Are
Debated By Government
The government Is now de
bating as to whether a separate
ration book shall be given for
these different products or
whether the "unit system" will
be used as In the case of Eng
land and other countries. With
the "unit system" we have one
ration book and can use our
0 judgment as to whether we want
to buy a suit of clothes or a
piece of furniture. When enter
ing a store the goods are not
marked in money prices but in
coupon prices. It may take one
coupon to buy a cap, 10 coupons
to buy a suit of clothes, or 20
coupons to buy a piece of furnl
ture. In other words, we can
have our choice of certain neces'
sary standardized products, but
we cannot buy them all.
In place of quotas for essential
goods, the government may is
sue licenses, thereby cutting
down the amount retailers may
get to sell to their customers.
Probably nothing radical will be
done before fall when we will
all have a better idea as to the
length of the war. If the Rus
sians are successful, further
rationing may be delayed until
next summer; but if the Ger
mans should get into the Cau
casian oil fields, radical ration-
Oing may be expected at any
time.
What May Be Rationed
Next Is Question
Of course, many things such
as automobiles, refrigerators,
bicycles, radios, garden tools,
etc., need not be rationed be
cause few more, if any, can be
manufactured. Most of those
now on hand will be used by
the armed forces. There are,
however, many other products
the supply of which has merely
been cut down. Among these
are pots, pans, and all kinds of
kitchen utensils; chocolate, co
coa, coffee, tea. spices and cer
tain canned goods and other
food products; office furniture,
typewriters, paper, pencils, rub
bers and even fountain pens.
Certainly, those who wish to
buy any cutlery, or other hard
ware, or Jewelry, leather lug
gage, and similar luxuries had
better do so immediately. Some
say that this will also apply to
furniture except nursery equip
ment, but I am not so sure of
this other than articles which
contain metal and rubber.
Most household electrical ap
plicances may soon be impos
sible to obtain under anv con
ditions, while rugs, carpets,
chinaware and sport goods may
be on the rationed list I might
also add that families requiring
more bedding, shoes, corsets,
razor blades, hosiery, umbrellas.
musical instruments, linoleum
and photographic supplies
should get them at once. They
are liable to be treated the same
as bicycles are now treated.
Prices Will Not
Be Lower During War
Finally, let me add that I am
not basing these recommenda
tions on any official informa
tion. Naturally, Mr. Hender
son's Office Mnnnt mnlr anu
forecast along specific lines. I
nave inciuaea some which may
not become scarce, or I may
have omitted some which will
be rationed. I do, however,
emphasize that we are in a real
war and our internal trnnhlo.
are just beginning. The sooner
we realize wnat is ahead and
prepare for it and quit squawk
ing, the better off we all will
be.
Buy now or as the ministers
say at a wedding, "forever after
hold your peace." Certainly,
prices of the above things should
be no lower while the war lasts
and probably their price ceilings
will gradually be raised.
