THE Ru SlNESS SITUATION.

For five years this country has been
more than prosperous, everyone mas
been making money employers ANA
workers alike Wages have gone mp
and up until their present level Is be-
yond the widest fancy OF labor lead
ers in 1914 From the position OF a
debtor country, America has taken a
leading place among the creditor ma
tons of the world, and new foreign
requistons on our wealth are being
made daily Yet the irritating f1,t
remains that, for most OF us, our extra
wages or profits are balanced by an i'm
creased cost of living.
During the war the sharp line
drawn between essential and non cs-
sential industries almost eliminated
the COuutry's reserves Of many ar
ticles we normally consider necessary
TO our comfort and happiness. IndI
viduals also held their purchases 70 a
minimum. Because Of our depleted
stocks OF things considered non-es
nential during the war and because oi
Europe's insistent demand for goods,
buying movement has developed
which has completely outrun produc
zion, As Il consequence prices have
been pushed mp to levels never tNpe-
rienced by this generation.
Individually we make more money.
III our hearts we feel that We ought to
be able to save more or afford lux l.
ries formerly beyond our reach WhcA
we have difficulty in doing either, We
feel that something is wrong AMI
somebody is to blame. We do not
stop to calculate how much our ad

to wonder what has happened to or

In trying to find the answer, We
overlook four important facts. First

not belong to Individuals Second, our
exports in recent years have been
made up largely Of foodstutfs. raw ma
