Yanderlip Sees Bra of Great Work Abead New York, May 18.—Different busi- ness but better business for America during the war was predicted yester- ‘day by Frank A. Vanderlip, banker ! and member of the labor committee of the Council of National Defense's advisory commission. In a prepared statement, Mr. Vanderlip said the war will call for readjustments, but not for diminution in volume of business; that times will be better than ever be- fore, and that the people should be geting ready for top speed production that will utilize every energy. “The sooner the public gets over the idea that we want ‘business as usual,’ or can have ‘business as usual’ during this great war the better for all,” he said,. “We want to stop all unnecessary Wwork and unnecessary expenditures short off, and concen- trate on the immense volume of work which has to-be done. Business men should get rid of any foolish fears that economy will bring on a general paralysis. of inidustry or trade. ‘““There is no danger of not having work for everybody; the trouble is that.there is more work in sight than can possibly be done, and the ques- tion is whéther we shall cut off lux- uries or necessities. It is absurd un- | der ‘these conditions to talk of the ‘danger of unemployment ,and to urge that' the people. 1 go on buying what they do’ nmot actually need in order to keep labor from unemploy- ment or to maintain business as usual. “How is labor to be had to make uniforms unless it is released from making other clothes; how are looms to be had for blankets unless released from something else; how is steel to be had for ships, tin cans and agricul- | tural implements unless other con- i sumption is curtailed; how are women to be had for offices uniess released elsewhere and, finally, how are we to put $7,000,000,000 or $8,000,000,000 of purchasing power at the disposal of the government unless we curtail | our individual expenditures? Should Awaken to Great Task. “The country should immediately awake to the fact that it has a great task in hand, and that it cannot carry on a war like this with one hand and continue to do all the business it did before with the other. “Most of the argument against economy assumes that the people. who economize will hoard; their money. That of course would be foolish, but i they lend their savings to the gov- ernnient it will find its way alrectly back into circulation in providng for { the government's needs. “These bond issues will necessitate more taxation in the future than in the past, but the person who practices | self-denial now in order to buy & bond not only alde ths government but provides an offset to future taxation on this account. The individual who takes his share of the bonds will pay “his taxes into his own pocket. ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING First Class Work at Reasonable Prices Eastern Weekly Publ Co. 58 CHURCH ST.

Must Use Money tn U. 8. “In setting out to raise the first in- stallment bf the $5,000,000,000 bond issue, it is very important for the people of ‘this country to understand Just how large the task is and how they must go about it. In the first place our situation is quite different from that of England in that England had ‘a great amount of capital em- ployed abroad which it was able to convert and bring home. We have ::w 2 Bf forelgn securities and |- ere L.pp ket in which se- curities cah’ b" This is a rjgh country but its wen.lth is in real estate, factories, rallways, and the ma- chinery of production. This property cannot be pald into the®government tréasury, nor can money be raised in any general sense by selling prop- erty to each other. We see the effect of this-in declining security markets. Such efforts depreciate capital values, disturb caonfidence, make peéople feel || poor and in that my .aetnally make the task harder. ““This loan cannot pombly be taken up. by the mere conversion ef bank funds now idle. The people must an- ticipate their earnings' and pledge them in advance. - The treasury allows payments upon installments ‘and if tHese terms do not suit the subscriber’s { convenience he should consult a banker aof his acquaintance, H “The bankers must make up their minds to lend freely, and at a moder- ' ate interest rate, tto promote this loan; this is a great national emer- gency ,and ordinary rules should not govern. In the first place, loans made with these bonds as oollateral, with marginal payments, will be u.ta be- yond question, and, in the second lphee, the Federal Resegvé banks are | at. hand to back #p'thé local banks. It is time now to lay lllde all resolu- | tiong _and. pred inst re-dis- “On '.he other hand, no would-be { subscriber has the right, while pre- tending to render a public service himself, to throw all of the burden on | & bank.
