'The Outpost, Britain*
What do YOU want to know
about Britain? Americans working
over here don't know all the ans
wers. but what they don't know
they will try to find out. Send
your questions to the American
Outpost, 13, Old Square, Lincoln's
Inn, London. W.C.2.
(2) Now that the war is over
what commodities have ceased to
be rationed?
Nothing that we know of so far.
On the contrary it has recently
been announced that clothes will
probably be rationed for three
more years, and the clothes ration
for the coming year is smaller
than ever before, 24 points cover
ing a period of eight rather than
six months. Many articles of cloth
ing are unobtainable even if you
have the points.
In the past six months food ra
tions have been considerably re
duced. The present fat ration, for
instance, is Vi lb. margarine, 2 oz.
of butter and 1 oz. of lard per per
ARGENTINA LIKES
MERCHANT FLEET
BUENOS AIRES— f/P) —Mari
time-minded Argentines are wor
son per week. The soap ration, if
you can get it, allows the pur
chase of one small bar of toilet
soap and one small bar of laundry
soap, or their equivalent each
month.
The milk supply is decreasing
again but there is no powdered
milk available until the winter.
The shillingsworth of meat al
lowed per week must be paritally
made up of corned beef. The ra
tion of dried eggs has been cut
from one package of twelve per
month to one package per eight
weeks.
It was hoped that the gasoline
ration for cars would be lifted en
tirely in September. However the
ration is being slightly increased;
instead of permitting 125 miles of
driving per month it will permit
150.
Household linens on the clothing
ration and utility furniture sold on
points are rationed as before.
The end of Lease-Lend may re
sult in further cuts.
I
rying over the future of their war
born merchant marine.
The fleet now is being eyed by
the original owners, who have in
dicated they might like their ves
sels back.
Sixteen Italian freighters im
mobilized in Argentine ports a4
the time Italy entered the war
formed the nucleus; four Danish
vessels, three French and three
German were acquired later. In
•
all, they add up to about 250,000
tons, not counting tankers oper
ated by the state oil monopoly or
various privately owned vessels.
Economically and politically,
the state merchant fleet has been
a waritme treasure for Argenitna.
It has enabled this country to
maintain a profitable export trade
and, even more important, to ob
tain coal, for which Argentina is
dependent upon foreign countries.
