WASHINGTON, May 800 save
material and labor necessary for war
purposes, President Wilson today ap-
pealed to Americans ito buy only
those things which are essential to
the individual health and efficiency,
and to volunteer on or before June
%, National Thrift Day, to invest
Systematically in war savings and
thrift stamps, or other government Sc
curitieS.
"This war is one of nations-not OF
armies" said the president, land all
of our 100,0O0,000 people must be &c
onomically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if this nation is to
play it's full part in the conflict.
1.-THE problem before us is not prl-
marily financial problem, but rather
a problem of increased production or
war essentials and the saving OF the
| materials and the labor necessary for
| the support and equipment OF our
army and navy.
"Thoughtless expenditure of money
for nonessentials uses up the labor OF
men, the products of farms, mines and
factories and overburdens transpor-
tation, all of which must be used to
| Lue UTMOST anu DIT tuelI DcoI III wei
purposes.
1.-THE great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the partici-
patton of every member of the nation,
young and old, in a national concert
ed thrift movement. l therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to the practice
of thrift; to serve the government
to their utmost in increasing the pro,
duction in all fields necessary to the
D., winning of the war; to conserve food
and fuel and useful materials Of every
kind; to devote their labor only to the
most necessary tasks; and to buy only
those things which are essential tC
individual health and efficiency; and
that the people as evidence OF theil
loyalty, invest all that they can save
in liberty bonds and war savings
stamps.
1.-The securities issued by the Treas
ury Department are so many of then
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter i:
wide open to all of us. To practice
, thrift in peace times is virtue ant
brings great benefit to the individual
, at all times; with the desperate neet
, of the civilized world today for ma
terials and labor with which to en(
, the war, the practice of individual
thrift is 4 patriotic duty and a nee
essity.
81 appeal to all who now own eithe
. liberty bonds or war savings stamps
