249 RATIONING of Clothing, Cloth and Footwear from June I There is enough and to spare for all if we have fair shares. Rationing is the way to get fair shares. Fair shares—when workers are producing bombs and aeroplanes and guns instead of frocks, suits and shoes. Fair shares—when ships must run the gauntlet with munitions and food rather than with wool and cotton. Fair shares—when movements of population outrun local supplies. Rationing is not the same as shortage. Rationing, or fair shares, is the way to prevent a shortage without interfering with full war production.
