POST-WAR PLANNING

WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN To-day, reconstruction or, in other words, post-war planning, is a feature note in National Councils, and one thing which is certain is that a nation whicn has induced its people to practise true t .onomy and thrift in war finance on the soundest possible lines, with its attendant check or inflation, will be more firmly and happily placed to face the tremendous problems involved.

In stating this, and discussing reconstruction and the relationship of the people's savings with post-war problems, Mr. T. N. Smallwood, chairman of the New Zealand War Savings Committee, said that important as these savings were now to the Dominion’s wjt finances, and as a stabilising influence on internal war economy, an equally important part awaits them in the alter war period, particularly in relation to the future demand for goods now in short supply, and which will materially assist the change over of industry to peace time production and speed up the absorption of men released from the forces in commercial life.

On this basis, the National War Savings Committee proposed conducting a campaign during March under the title “Plan for Post-War Living." The title is both timely and topical, as it is such a personal matter

—not only a part measure of each individual's war effort, but an individual post-war plan to ensure that Victory in Peace shall follow Victory in War.
