EVERYTHING FOR WAR

Rule For British Civilians (British Official Wireless.) (Received October 19, 7 p.m.) • , RUGBY, October 18. “The day is coming when the British forces, on land and sea and in the air, in close conjunction with their American and Russian allies, will strike decisive blows which shall totally destroy the enemy’s power of resistance,” declared the President of the Board of Trade, Dr. Dalton, speaking at Nottingham. “Impatiently awaiting these events, we civilians have nn indispensable part, to play. We must work hard and make do with ever diminis-bing supplies. “I have cut tbe clothing ration, while making special provision for the children of industrial workers. I have surrendered for the armed forces and munitions production an everincreasing number of workers in industry and the retail trade. The urgent, need for maximum economy in labour and material bas led us to concentrate industry .to the utility production of clothes', household textiles, crockery, cutlery and furniture, and strict price control for utility and other goods.

‘‘Henceforth nothing can be produced which does not serve directly or indirectly a real war purpose, including tin- maintenance of reasonable supplies of necessary goods for civilian use.”
