GROUP INTERESTS

COUNCIL WARNS
War Unity of Producer, Dis

To Meet II. 6. l..

Washington, ID. C.-The United
States Council Of National DefenSe
composed OF the secretaries OF war,
the navy, the interior, agriculture,
commerce and labor reiterated today
warning to the people of the United
States Of the necessity for increased
economy and saving on the part OF
every citizen. TaH. ~ Il
After outlining the causes Of the
high cost of living the statement Of
the council said:
The entire nation--producer, dis
tributer and consumer alike-should
return to the unity that won the war.
Group interest and undue personal
gain must give way to the good Of
the whole nation if the situation Is to
be squarely met. 'g>
Our common duty now, fully as
much as in the war, is to work and to
save. In the words OF the President
i'll his address to the country on Au-
gust 25, 1919, only by increasing
production, and by rigid economy and
savings on the part Of the people,
. can we hope for large decreases il
the burdensome cost of living which
now weighs uS down..
The Federal Reserve Board, in It's
bulletin outlining the financial eondi-
ton Of the country just issued, says:
That the high price levels which
have been attained in the United
States present q grave situation 10
clear from the attention which eur
rent discussion Of the causes Of in-
dustrial unrest is directing to The
cost Of living problem. So far as
profteering practices are responsible
for price aggravations,' soma consid-
cradle mitigation of the cost of liv-
ing situation may be expected and in
deed is already in sight %
THE problem of reducing the high
cost of living, however, is mainly that
of restoring the purchasing power OF
| the dollar. The dollar has lost its
purchasing power because expansion
of credit proceeded at rate more
rapid than the production and saving
Of goods. The way in must be the
way out. AS the way in was sxpan-
| sion of credit at a rate more rapid
| than the expansion Of production and
saving, the way out must be an in
crease in production and saving. The
effect OF increased saving will be a
reduction in the volume Of purchasing
media in use, and by consequence, =
reduction of prices also.
That the expansion OF credit las
been considerable factor in our
| financial and price situation is clear;
| thai 1t is still factor and one TINT
calls for correction br the process Of
| increasing production and savings and
by the investment of the proceeds Of
savings in the absorption OF govern
ment bonds is equally clear"
