LOANS AND SAVINGS

When the history of the AM
erican war loans is finally
written, into it will be written
the account of a people cen
verified from extravaganza to
frugality, from reckless spend
ing to prudent saving. 1t will
contain the account of a nation
that while giving freely of its
wealth, yet in the very act of
giving, received more than it
gave.
Great as will be the money
outlay necessary for the sue
cessful prosecution of this warI
the solid enduring benefit to
the people of this country will
be infinitely greater.
In the first place it has
caused us to take stock of our
resources. Prodigious demand
has caused us to reach out for
an equally huge supply. But
unlike the flush period of for
mer years, when the added re-
sources have been produced,
they have not been wasted, in
needless extravaganza.
All over this broad land
from ocean to ocean and from
lakes to gulf, thousands of men,
women and children have en-
tered upon a life of frugality
that has for its object the ac-
cumlation fone or more Lib
erty Bonds. Millions of dollars
of these bonds are being paid
for in monthly installments the
terms of which will run for
many months to come.
1t is all but impossible to es-
innate what this self-enforced
economy will do for our peo-
pie. Viewed merely in the
light of the financial benefit
| to the different individuals, the
results must necessarily be stu
lpendous. But going further
and considering the stabilizing
effect upon the nation as a
whole, the result assumes the
proportions of an economical

revolution.

revolution.
No nation of people ever yet
succeeded in building a stable
national edifice upon extrav-
agence. 1t matters not how
vast the resources they must in
time succumb to the lavish
hand. Only prudence and fru-
gality can lay a substantial
foundation for the national
life.
We are aware that the life
of our people has heretofore
been tending toward prodigal-
ity, and that their phenomenal
success would tend to disprove
the foregoing assertion. But
there is q reason, and it IS
found in the comparative new
ness of the country. Hereto
fore it has been easier to reach
out after untouched resources
than to conserve those already
in hand. But that day is past.
We are face to face with a de-
mand for all and more than is
available, and the smallest
fraction of waste will tell IN
the net result.
A knowledge of this fact is
the great legacy that will be
left to the American people
when the war shall have been
fought to a successful end. And
that knowledge, with the hab-
| its of thrift now being enforced
will have effectually changed
the American character from
a spending to a saving people.
