-GETTING ON WITH THE JOB! AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WAIRARAPA CONSEQUENT upon the outbreak of war, there is a tendency for people generally to restrict their purchasing power. But may we suggest that normal trading conditions be maintained? As the Government has pointed out, it is essential that the economic life of our country should be restored to normal as soon as possible. Those of us who remember the outbreak of war in 1914, also remember that, despite the terrific struggle of international warfare, business proceeded as usual after the first unsettlement. We appeal to you people now, to assist in restoring the ordinary volume of business. We make this appeal not from a selfish angle. We make it in the interests of the community; in fact, of the nation. The maintenance of our individual earning power is important to every one of us, and this can only be achieved, and a general disruption of business, with consequent unemployment, avoided, if we all make up our minds to get on with our jobs at once. We do not lack any appreciation of the dangers confronting the nation. We want to play our part. But we can do nothing if you people restrict your purchasing power. We do not want to make added profits —we want to see our nation facing the problems of war courageously and actively. The continuance of normal business conditions is essential to the economic life of our nation. But it is, in the long run, up to you people whether this shall be done or not. You owe it to the nation that internal economic difficulties should not be aggravated. (Signed) H. P. HUGO, / Chairman, Retailers' Association. Masterton, September 7, 1939.
