Clothing Rations Possible if Cotton Parity Not Guaranteed
The National Cotton Council told the House Banking and Currency Committee that clothing rationing could occur unless textile ceiling prices are raised to guarantee parity for raw cotton. Robert C. Jackson of Memphis argued for a clear parity formula in the price control extension act and criticized current OPA ceilings as illegal for not securing cotton parity. He warned that civilian cotton goods supply is shrinking and rationing may come from policy fears over mill profitability.
