English Translation

The population remembers that at that time there were almost exclusively margarine. Or, if, after a long interruption in the supply of chocolates and sweets, limited quantities of it are now allocated, then this is also perceived as improvement. The mood is therefore definitely more favourable than one should assume. However, there is no lack of other symptoms for the application of the "experiences" from the world wars. This applies e.g. from the fear of a devaluation of money. My bookseller told me the other day that a man had appeared with him, who had never bought from him, and had given him the order to put together a kleir. library for 200 Marks. Asked about his interests, this funny customer explained that he had no references to books, but he did not want to leave his money on the savings bank. My bookseller also mentioned that from earlier times he had a large part of leather covers on wheels, which he could now clear, because there are also people who, without asking about the content, just chew "leather volumes". In the supply of textiles, things are now somewhat opaque. There is talk of total blocking, of limited allocation, but also of facilitating the granting of permits. In the first place, there is a rumor that the textile allocation will soon be subject to a new regulation. Then, for the duration of a year, a hundred-point right for the purchase of textiles is to be approved to everyone and it is left to his discretion whether he wants to buy a suit or coat for 60 points or 10 times for each 6 points a pair of stockings. It is not clear where this rumor comes from, but it is credible. ) The fact is that such a regulation would be welcomed in the broadest possible range of circles, since the previous practice with the applications and subsequent authorizations seems to have given rise to criticism because of the psycho- logical inadequacy of the persons employed in the reference certificates and distribution bodies. Above all for these persons the Görin was probably intended. These difficulties would be avoided by the new regulation. It would be fair, above all, in people's opinion, and justice in the supply is again and again the energetic demand of all consumers! 4.
