problems-which may be referred to 1t.

in line behind the President.
Tells Part of Consumer.
Wilson stressed the part the con-
sumer must play in carrying out the
program.
ITO an extent" he said, "the con-
sumner will be the goat, since he must
pay higher price for his commodities
as the plan takes hold. But at the
same time he will be paving the way
for higher wages, more widespread en-
ployment and thereby lessen his bur-
den in another way"
Women, who Wilson estimated con-
stitute 80 per cent of the city's buying
power, will really control the campaign.

Eagle in every store, it won't be long
before every dealer who isn't coming
along falls in line, for selfish reasons
