This sets free labor and capital for the produc- tlon of il supplies and food for ourselves and for others, and tends to reduce the cost of such supplies to the government, which in turn re- duces the taxation ssary. It is a possible t most undesira- ble policy, it is declared, to finance a war altogether from bond issue. Gov- sroment financing through war loans which ave derived from savings do not ocoasion an_advance in prices. It is therefore of the utmost importance that in placing war icans every effort should be made to lodge the bonds with those who will make payment from savings.
