Abstract
FAR more effectively than the Limitation of Supplies Orders or the policy of concentration of production already announced by the President of the Board of Trade, the rationing of clothing in Great Britain has brought home to every member of the community the importance of utilizing to the maximum advantage all our resources of moneys, materials and man– or woman–power. The contribution and co–operation of the individual citizen are essential, but our war effort may fail of its full effect if they are not directed and utilized to the utmost by wise administration and skilful management, whether on the part of Departments of State or in industry. The significance of scientific management and sound administration can scarcely be overstressed. They affect most powerfully the morale of the general population, which in total war is of as much importance as maintaining morale in the fighting services.
