tho following Interview:
There are two fundamental and
basis reasons. contrary to the general
opinion, for the placing Of War Saw
ing stamps ON the market again this
year. First, with the Treasury De
partmenr cutting down all possible ex'
penditures this Department Of oui
national Government still finds 1t nee
essary to get an additional supply Of
funds. Strict economy Is being prac
ticsd By the Government In every WAY
possible, but with q million men still
in Europe. which 1t Is true are going
to be brought home as quickly as posi-
Bile, but the tremendous cost OF de
uobflizstiou is as great as mobiliza
tion; Il will therefore take additions
funds to bring home these who have
completed the big thing In . big way
lhis government Of which every indi
vidual In an important part, believes !
only Just and right that these men WHIT
have abandoned their occupations
shouldered their guns, and left theil
homes In order that the wordl nigh
still look to America as the one natioi
that was built upon the solid and sub
stantiai rock Of an ideal and not tha
OF graft and greed, should be given
chance through education or training
TO be placed at least on an equal foot

We, as Americans living in a land sup

Justice to ourselves or to the future
continue to be q nation Of spenders
but must on the other hand make !
fashionable to SAVE as It has in tn
past been fashionable to spend.
During the past three years through
"HOOvERIzENG" and BY eccnomizinl
In different ways we have been taugh
unconsciously the fundamental prizes

portance that we not lose the value o
these lessons but that we make tn
most use Of them in making cur live
more successful In the future.
