This war is one of nations-not of
armies-and all of our one hundred
million people must be economically

tons II this nation is to play its full
part in the conflict. The problem be-

problem but rather q problem OF in
creased production OF war essentials
and the saving OF the materials and the
labor necessary for the support and
equipment of our Army and Navy.
Thouhgtless expenditure OF money for
non-essentials uses up the labor of
men, the products OF the farm mines,
