Warts Thrift Drive.


In his statement advocating another
thrift campaign. Mr.. Straus took the
position that high wages and high
costs have ccane to stay. and added:
TT must be borne In mind that the
present standard of wages Will never
be lowered. No man Will willingly
accept a smaller salary than he has
been getting. because in doing so he
would feel that he was retrograding.
Also. we are constantly developing
better standards of living. which
mean higher prices and higher wages.
We are living in a new age. There is
an insistent and rightful demand for
better homes. better environment.

study and self Improvement. Inevi-
tally these conditions mean advanced
