I eXtrayagant to the point Of wasteful-
ness, and the fashion is running riot.
Individual thrift is considered not
merely misery boarding, but is
| looked upon as vice and a thing TO
| be despised 1t is said that this is
not day Of small things, and that
wealth, as wealth goes now, may no
longer be accumulated by the
! slow process of savings and econo-
mics, THIS may be true if we shall
measure wealth only by billions or
hundreds of millions, but, Just as
surely as there ever existed virtue in
economy, of contentment and inde-
pendence in frugality, they are there
to-day, and just as surely as individ-
ual and national extravaganza ever
led TO a day of reck oning they are
doing so to-day. Among nations, and
among individuals, permanent wealth
and material progress are the results,
not so much of rich natural resources
as they are the products of economy
and thrift; not alone economy in the
arts of production, but economy Of
use.
The maintenance of the present
high level of prices is dependent upon
the sustained purchasing power of
the individual which in turn depends
very largely, IL not wholly, upon the
expansion of credit. Herein lies one
Of the chief elements Of weakness and
danger in the situation.
IF the banks may by increasing
loans create credits, which in turn
create purchasing power and a sus-
tanned demand for high-priced goods,
thereby still further advancing prices
In the benefits of which all classes
share except those who possess fixed
incomes, 1t may be asked why this is
not good; why not continue to pro-
mote the general ability to spend;
why not continue giving to each in
dividual an amount of enjoyment,
luxury and pleasure unknown before,
particularly when all this may be ac-
-complished by merely increasing
Means? The simple but colmprehen-
sive and truthful answer is that it
cannot be done because in the long
ran every act of wastefulness and
every item Of extravaganza must be
paid for to the last farthing;; every
item CONSUMED must be earned" p, .,
Mr.. Talbert also discussed the dam
ger of the country losing its favorable
trade2 balance and of adding an adj
verse trade balance to the other debit
items which run against this country
to the extent of hundreds of millions
of dollars a year. Mr. Talbert esti-
mated these items at total of $780,
100000, including 100000 900
