Supplies were limited. In order to fairly distribute the items in short supply, rationing was introduced. That prevented the rich from being able to corner the market on goods. It help make sure that the troops had the things that they needed to fight.

The goal of wartime rationing was to ensure enough resources were available for soldiers and their equipment. This included things like steel and many food items.
