Government skill in administration, however, must be accompanied by private economy in departments; not a stringent and indiscriminate cutting down of expenditures, but a gradual elimination of non-essentials and a partial reduction of consump- tion in all possible directions. A sav- ing of 10 per cent. in such directions would bring immense relief; it would restrain high prices; give production a chance to catch up with consumption; would amply correct the deficiency in the labor supply: offset congestion in traffic, and in many ways aid restora- tion to the normal.
