\ Money.Savins Nation

THE war has done many beneficial things
for the American people 1t has disci-
plined them in directions which we're un-
dreamed of few years ago. 1t has given
them sense of values and new an
praisal of sacrifices But It has done moth
ing more pronounced than in ma king of them
a people OF thrift The country is now on a
solid mOney-saving basis for the first time in
its history, and habit SO wholesome and so
economically sound will not be easily
abandoned
There are approximately 10000, 900 hold
ers of government bonds in the United States,
not including those who have waited for the
victory loan. These bond purchasers hold
more than $4,000 100000 worth of their
governments securities, and are receiving in
excess OF $1O0,000,000 year in interest to
which will he added the interest from the
$4,000, 100000 Victory notes which will bring
the interest charge within striking distance
of the billon-dollar mark
Not all the money which has been invested
in war securities would have been wasted,
OF course. Not all OF it would have been
sailed down in stockings or laid away where
moths might corrupt But great deal of it
would have passed out Of the hands of those
who earned it if there had been no appeal
from their government for that war service
which comes from war financing. There
would now be far fewer men, women and
children with savings safely planted away
than would have been the case If this country
had remained at peace, however prosperous
the nation might have been.
The practice OF thrift now has become a
fixed habit of the American people. They
arc saving a far greater share OF their in
come. This is not only indicated by the en-
thusiasm with which the loan was alb
sorbed but by the report from the national
banks which the Comptroller of the Cur
rency recently reviewed. lie showed that
the amount OF money on deposit in savings
institutions and on savings accounts in other
institutions was more than $4,000, 1000, 900
on March 4, notwithstanding the purchase OF
more than s25,000,0O0,0 worth OF bonds
and the payment OF more than $4,000, 900, :
600 in Federal taxes. There can be no So
cialism in country whose wealth is as
widely distributed that OF America and
