REDUCED RATIONING

COMPLAINTS

We shall be glad when the
time comes to eliminate all
rationing.

In the meantime, we are working
to make our regulations more
flexible and easier to understand
so that wartime rationing may-be
as effective yet painless as possible.
No ration program can be wholly
free of irritations, but we feel we
have made considerable progress
in perfecting rationing machinery
from our Regional and District
Offices to the 5408 Local Boards.

RATIONING COMPLAINTS ARE DOWN 74 PERCENT FROM A YEAR AGO

PRICE CONTROL RESULTS ARE FACTUALLY MEASURABLE

Unlike results from the rationing program, which are not readily measurable in figures.....

-results of the Price Control
Program are subject to
pretty exact measurement.....

-particularly since we have
the experience of the last war
with which to make comparison

Cost of living figures shown on the follow-
ing charts are from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics and cover costs of low
and medium income families.

LIVING COST RISE

LESS THAN HALF THAT OF WORLD WARI

[blocks in formation]

Even including rises which took place before controls were established and in spite of far greater inflationary pressures, price increases during the present war have been held to less than half those of World War 1.
