NEW YORK BCSTON Not in Fort Lincoln’s Case ‘This squib. from .the .Army and (Navy Journal is of local interest: “We are assured that the pro- gram of troop movements now under way will work for the bet- terment of Army housing. The post abandonment program, we are told, will work in close con- conjunction with the housing plans and it of continued improvement in the facilities af- forded to the officers and men and their families. “This is gratifying, for. the housing program must be carried on continuously and strongly in order to bring the conditions out of the slump they were in as the result of the war-time construc- tion. And, too, Army construction affords employment for men in. the building trades and assists in alleviating the situation there.” The Tribune is not informed as to the source of the Army and Navy Journal’s ‘‘assurances” that the post abandonment is to permit of better housing arrangements for the army. In Fort Lincoln's case the opposite is true. Here the army dictators sought to abandon some of the best post buildjngs in the country. Orders to move from Fort Lincoln evidently did consideration at al 5680-4 5 © 6 con: the best equipped posta -in the no- tion. There is an ‘unlimited supply of fine water. Natural gas is avail- able at the post and the best of other: - public utility service is available, . In- positors’ best interests, we must change our advice somewhat today when economic conditions have also changed so radically, The consumers’ dollar is worth at least 16 per cent more in buying power today than in 1928. So in our bookléts and in our constant edu- cational campaign we are now giving the following advice: Keep on deposit all you should have as. @ reserve against emergencies. If that is not yet large enough (it should be equal to at least six months’ salary), add to it! But if you have a surplus above all likely needs, make careful pur- chases of things you want for permanent use while prices re- main low. See that your home fs put in good repair. Do not let your automobile or any other prop- erty get ‘run-down.’ If you have long needed an added piece of furniture, shop carefully and buy it now. Buy clothing in reason- able quantities. Buy real estate . if you are planning for a home of your own. Land prices have not been so low in many years, and mortgage money for building can be had on very reasonable terms. ‘Wise spending at the right time is as much @ part of good thrift as saving all you can when prices are going’ up. Moreover, judicious spending now will help to set the wheels of industry turning more rapidly and restore employment -to thousands now out of work. “In our opinion, the millions of savings and thrift depositors in this country have it in their power to change the whole aspect of industrial and trade conditions. "They are the backbone of this nation’s stupendous buying power. The least we can do is to give our one-quarter of a million of these buyers some’ sound advice on handling the profits their dollars have earned.” This is sound advice and can be followed by bankers generally. Fear of unemployment and lack of confi-| dence engendered by. the depression have reduced even necessary buying. Governor Moves to Hoarding of -mony retards economic recovery.
