True or False Economy ? Some Wartime Truths « Personally, it would not surprise me if this ‘ stop spending money ’ cry is part of the Kaiser’s German-made plans to hasten our defeat. . Commercial activity supports and keeps alive the home, the church, the school, the state, the nation and the world.” Thus speaks Chas. W. Mears, a student of National Economics. (The second and final part of a marvellous article on to-day’s financial problem—the first part appeared in last issue but will re-appear in next.) Earning and spending depend upon each other. If people earn without spending, earnings eventually stop.. If people spend without earning, the spending supply eventually runs out we shall have economic disaster at home as well as war abroad, thereby adding to the perplexities of . the Government’s problems. | Business is constructive, whereas war is destructive, and destructive war pays no commercial profit. It is an error, therefore, to refer tO;.war as business, ■ Until war ends, war must be our charity helps ito make beggars of mfd, and women who would much prefer to work for an honest living. Nor need we worry about whether our goods interfere with war, .because as surely as there is a sun in the sky, so surely will that matter operate automatically. If; for instance, you make and sell goods taining copper, and war needs all the copper that can be produced, you will eventually be unable to buy copper. No seller will supply you. War first necessity,, our highest; .obligation. There is no miracle about it; We the one thing we must juppCrt and spend because we have earned, and promote, but that does not ~ change c , ~ . ... we are able to earn because we the meaning ,of terms, nor .make war conies first, and the, Government will a business. ’ ’••• . get the copper. , Ona politician says Ve must all * spend less and save more 1 Now, it b ” ar requires beta men to fight is remarkably ..easy ,to say-a. thing and men to produce what the fighters like that; it is always easier to command a miracle than to perform one. To spend less and save more, nationwould be a- miracle. Our people have never been able to save except when money was being freely spent. Every year when business is active, savings deposits increase. Active business alone is the source of increased savings. But when people begin deliberately to spend. Through this process We- British become the greatest of nations. Let this process stop, and we .shall cease to be great. • From these facts it is evident we all have a great patriotic duty to perform from day to day ’right at home the duty of working and living up to our accustomed standards, and of buying whatever goods we may need in order that factories and stores may be kept busy, and that men, women, and money may be ' need. 2. At the same time, those at home must be fed, clothed, housed, and employed. 3 If a nation cannot provide both for its people at the front and its people at home, that nation will go down to defeat, in a long war, unless some other nation comes to its rescue 'and supplies its necessities. 4.
