Japanese Clothing Reserv# "Although there can be no question that Japan was preparing for many years the treacherous policy she lias since developed, her supplies of wool are now at a low states the latest issue of Dalgety's Annual Wool Review. "According to German radio reports, the Japanese have been forced to wear austerity clothing—a national uniform for men and utility kimonos, for women. The men are said to have a khaki-green uniform and cap of European cut while felt hats and ties are no longer worn and shirts o .j and socks are only available in a few qualities. Staple fibre a locally produced, has taken the. place of the wool previously imported from Australia South Africa and South Ame j rica. For the women there are only simple kimonos and three types of European dress—for street or office for housework, and for sport."
