New-York tribune., 1921-01-24

Wnlle at present ! writing these letters
my own signature, this is because there are not
plenty of people other than myself interested in
this movement, but because there are in addition
to several organized movements great many other
groups in the process of organization.
Their plans have not progressed far enough to
choose either their spokesman or to formulate def
nitely their plans, even to determine whether
they had best work independently, or amalgamate
their efforts. Some Of these groups are national
in character, with members scattered from coast
to coast, and therefore will be unable to complete
their plans until the date Of their annual conver
tions.
I have therefore been asked to act as spokesman
for the present and endeavor not only to sustain
but to stimulate public interest.
/ have been particularly requested to say what
I have said before--that there is no problem that
this country faces which would not be solved, or
greatly simplifed, by making Thrift and Invest
ment general practice in America. Lack of space
does not permit me to 60 into details, but have
been requested to- ask everyone now interested in
any organized form of Improvement work. whether
it may have morality, charity Americanizaton or
something else as its object if they have carefully
considered the part which Thrift and Investment
will contribute to their objective, and, if desirous
OF adopting, or even of investigating the matter
to write me and will see that the letter finds its
way to the proper group.
The publishers of the Business Papers are one
of the groups in the process of organization.
AS you probably know, every separate line of bus-
ness has one or more publications devoted exclusive
ly to its particular line. Each employer be he big or
little looks to his particular business paper for
guidance. These publishers believe that they can
contribute greatly to this work by getting each
employer, in turn, to organize his employees to
save and to invest their money
On Friday, January 21st, group of these men
met and arranged to call special meeting for this
present week to organize and sent the following
telegram to the national headquarters of both the
Young Mems Christian Association and the KNIGHTS
OF Columbus so the work would be maintained until
they could get into action
We strongly urge that the splendid scork of the
IhrVt Campaign be continued by the maintenance
Of the committees noao organized oad that then
make immediate effort to get EMPLOYERS to start
thrift and Investment compatgns o1pouq their
men, we endorse and avU support editoriaUy the
thrift and Investment idea and sciu recommend
stnsator action By other business publications"
