In both periods, therefore it means great waste of human endeavor-and in the last analysis, the public pays the bill.
 There are number of more direct and obvious ways in which this restraint of buy ing is inficting injury. With goods flooding back on their hands. producers and distrib- utors have had to make abrupt curtalments of their activities, resulting in unemployment Not only are manufacturers and distributors injured but misfortune vists the working class with its resultant discomfort and settlement But the i'll effects of the move ment do not stop even here. A recession in buying carried too far, and producing too great stagnation in production and distribu- tion, may result in a secondary era of short ages and rebound in prices without an in crease in real wages to meet 1t. The result would be that the pressure of the high cost of living family economy, instead of fol- lowing the course of amelioraton that has set in, would again become onerous.
 "Is there not great threat in the pres ent situation of such unfortunate results these? Is not the recession in public buying forcing industry into too great curtailment of production? Will not, in other words the public pay greater price for its false econ omy than if 1t maintained more temperate attitude both as to buying in flush times and as to obstention from buying in a time such as the present? Is it not true that any economic force which develops sufficient in tensity to injure a considerable part of the public works injury in ultimate effect to the body polite as whole? All must pay a part of the cost.

Public refusal to buy has been carried to tho poin of false economy and normal buying must be resume 10 prevent possible combination of high prices wit low wages and unemployment it was declared b Roger H. Williams vice-president the National Ban of Commerce in New York in an address at the eight annual meeting of the Converters Association tn other day Business needs to regain public confdenc by exatting smaller profits and even by acceptin losses in some cases, he said.
 ITO my mind there is no greater service that can be rendered today business and to the public than to reestablish normal vol ume of buying" Mir. Williams asserted And to do this it seems to business and the public must come to an understanding. It is through the processes of business, either d- rectly or indirectly that of the so- called good things of life are accumulated which we all share try to- Unless bus- ness is being done unless there is fair dis tribution of activity, there can be no pros perity to divide, either between employer or employee business or consumer
 Tt is no time to preach thrftlessness now, but it is time to place emphasis cn the need for sanity in buying It Is not thrifty to stop buying altogether any more than it is thrifty to consume all of our cur rent production without consideration of the future. That is wasteful way of doing business. It extrayagant production cost and waste of materials in the boom period. and in the period of depression it means deterioration of goods consumed
