WARTIME THRIFT
HOLDS NO MENACE
National Defense Expert
Assails Unpatriotic Hard
Times" Cries
WORK FOR EVERYBODY
Economy Means Transfer OF
Energy From Nonessentials
to Vital Industry
WASHINGTON. May Q.

WASHINGTON, May ,.
There is no ground for fear that war
time thrift will bring hard times" said
Director w. s. clifford, Of the Council OF
National Defense, in a statement to the
country today
Wartime thrift merely means readjust-
mcnt not the cessato of expenditure. The
whole country is organized on peace
basis. 1t must be readjustcd TO war
basis" he said
1T will mean that less money will be
spent for unnecessary things. But far
more money will be spent for necessities
Some unnecessary lines OF industry may
be discontinued But for every man that
may be thrown out Of work through the
dlscontinuance Of the manufacture OF a
luxury, many jobs will be open.
Wartime thrift means tho diversion OF
all the nations efforts toward things neces-
sary for maintaining the nations hto ana
winning the war In the readjustment,
the vast majority will profit materially and
morally.
WORK FOR ALL
"Tf man should lose his job rs sales
man Of some non.vital luxury, he will have
scores of opportunities for useful, patriotic
labor The fun man power of the country
will be needed and. in fact, it Is already
10 help
ITO talk of men being out of work per-
manently through the cessation of buying
in lines of luXurics or unnecessarieS is
absurd. If they lose their positions in
these lines they can he more prontably
employed-more prontably for themselves
and their country.
For men in certain lines of industry at
such time as this to raise the cry of pos
sible hard times is a display of unpatriotic
thoughtlessness.
at requires only n second serious thought
to reveal the truth that the industrial
strength Of the nation will be strained in
stead of being relaxed. In addition, the
enormous demand for labor on the farms
would absorb any possible excess.
TOUCHES EVERY INDUSTRY
"Shpbuildng work alone will require so
much labor that the possibility Of discon-
tinunE much Of the structural building
operations I'm the country is at hand
The removal Of "a million or more men
from the business life of the country OBJ
Viously means more work for those behind
the army This Government and the Allies
will be spending billions in the production
of war materials, which reach virtually
every branch of industry
80 as a matter of fact the necessity for
thrift is not for purposes of individual saw
ing or the cessation of spending, but lit
orally in order that the demand may he re-
duced to the limits Of possible supply"
