given away to the soldiers the issuance
in that manner of those bonds will de-
press the prices OF existing bonds so
gravely as to imperil the credit of the

now. There is, moreover, the p!ooa-
bility that j building, erected at
more than the normal cost, may
furnish the opportunity for conduct

ness at profits which will warrant
the unusual expenditure. There is

where between the abnormally high
and abnormally low, which is usual

which is warranted and advisable.
Some building materials have al

reduction in many others will doubt

increased sales, or sales which would
otherwise not be made at all, than
by trying arbitrarily to maintain
war prices, which is ultimately i'm
possible. The Sales Department Of
the War Department, which has the
disposal of hundreds Of millions Of
dollars of raw and manufactured
