 fore be exercised to look for articles under the groupings if not

 a percentage basis, the requirements of Class I may be supplied 

 in addition to the restricted amount arbitrarily fixed. 



Attention is called to the fact that there are a number of 

 articles listed in Class II without restriction, which would have 

 been restricted were it not for the fact that the Priorities Di- 

 vision has already regulated the industries using these articles, 

 so the demand will automatically he curtailed.
