Abstract
TO the ordinary citizen, control and rationing are methods of maintaining equal division of limited supplies at reasonable prices ; to the economist, considering the diversion of the maximum fraction of the national income to the purposes of war, they are methods of reducing civilian consumption ; to the statesman they are a bit of both, with the maintenance of health and morale thrown in. The first chapter of the Report of the Economic Intelligence Service of the League of Nations considers the means by which civilian consumption can be reduced*. The last gives some idea of the effects of this reduction ; in Great Britain the reduction of consumption provides 25 per cent of the war effort. In the intermediate chapters details are given of direct rationing in force in various countries.
