1T USED to be said, truly, that the Unit
ed States government spent moreI
u to improve hogs than it did to improve
children and devoted more attention to-
corn than to citizenship. The situation has
been changing rapidly in recent years, as
the people and the lawmakers get better

plated in bill now before congress in
tended to centralize federal authority in a
new cabinet position and appropriate
$1O0,O00,000 for the purpose of education

The illiteracy in this country is getting
to be an old story, thanks to the eve-open-
ing developments of the selective service.

understanding what they were asked to
fight for and unable to read their own mil
itary instructions. That disgrace, Of

The process will be tedious and will take

would provide the means to start. 1t would
be used in encouraging the state to pro
vide better school facilities, to employ bet
ter teachers, and thus to start making real
Americans of the ignorant children and
foreigners Along with the purely intellec-
tual work would go a general effort in the
way of recreation and health, for which
purpose one-fifth of the appropriation is
intended. Incidentally some 80 federal

BUY Now"

~ It is excellent advice, designed
to prevent a disastrous slump in business
and get more easily and quickly through
the uneasy reconstruction period and into
the boom times which, almost everybody
agrees, lies ahead.
Prices will come down, to be sure, all
along the line, if everybody holds off buy
ing long enough. But to stop buying as
deliberate policy for the sake of lower
ing prices is suicidal. Both experience.
and economic teaching show the fallacy
of it. The trouble is that by the time price
levels have been lowered markedly by this
drastic process people no longer have the
money to buy things even at the reduced
prices. The same causes that have low
cred prices have lowered their earnings
end cut into their savings.
Except in special and exceptional cases,
there is nothing to be gained by waiting,
and much to lose Buy now will stimulate

mally high level, that is of minor impor-
tance-as long as everybody is making
money. There was little real complaint
about high prices the last couple of years,
because people had the money to pay the
prices, and after paying them had more
left than usual, as present bank deposits
and liberty bond holdings attest
That condition can be continued, if the
public-ultimate consumers and manufac-
turers and merchants, and all other pur-
chasers Of either raw or finished materials
will only have the confidence to ''buy
