GIVING OF GIFTS
PERFECTLY PROPER
Discontinuance Would Be
Harmful To Trade.

A suggestion of the Council 'oi
National Defense that as a wal
measure Christmas gifts this year
be confined to an exchange of cards
and letters is meeting with opposi.
ton from merchants in AN parts of
the country, according to an an.
nouncement in New York City by the
Retail Dry Goods Association These
merchants, it was stated, consider
that sufficient regulation has been
placed at the source of production of
non'essentials by the government.
In announcing that it has received
many complaints regarding the cam
paign suggested by the council TO
curtail the exchange of merchandise
the association said:
1T is a well known fact that in
the past few years the tendency in
gift giving has .graviatated toward
the giving of useful and needed ar
ncles. Consequently there is practic-
ally no waste Or any very serious
duplication"
