After exhaustive investigation this committee has reached its conclusion unanimously. It would impre- ' upon us the imperative need of a reduction of coiisuinp- ' tion and an increase of production, of the repression of noil essentials, and of promotion of organization and re direction of industry. "In meeting the great national readjustment to war conditions," the committee says, "we must not let our 'business-as-usual' impulses prevent the needed saving , and shifting of industry, lest we pay a terrific penalty in higher cost of living and national inefficiency." The committee finds the public confused and vacillat ing between two economic philosophies the simple, di rect, old-fashioned, correct philosophy of saving and work ing, and the falacious philosophy, best epitomized as "busi ness as usual." "One of our greatest perils in the future lies in further credit expansion," the committee says, "and. this peril comes largely from our lending by borrowing.'' The committee points out the right way and the wrong : way to lend money to our country. "The right way," il says, "is the frank and honest way of saving up the money by spending less or earning more; the wrong way is the at first cheap and easy, although ultimately costly and painful way, of lending the government what we borrowed at the bank." "ly giving up nonessentials to buy government se eurities," the coiiiniitt.c further says, "we allow the government to buy war essentials and at the same time release productive energy from the making of nonessen tials for us to the making of essentials for the government." It Shows Them Up . Jf greater coordination is needed in war work, why should not Congress pass the bill giving the President lull authority to make any needed changes? Would it not be safer to leave this work, whic h is executive in its nature, to the executive department, rather than to Con gress, the lawmaking and speech-making branch of the government The fact the critics in Congress are op posing the Overman bill indicates that their course has been dictated more by politics than by a real . desire to better conditions. They should forget it. ..The success of any political party or the re-election chances of any mem ber of Congress are trifles compared with the nation's need for unity and teamwork. Pendleton East Oregonian. o The President's Tasks -No President has had such herculean tasks to perforin as Woodrow Wilson, for lie has not only to formulate measures essential to creating the greatest of armies, to reorganize the entire industrial and economic life of the nation, to mobilize national resources for winning the war, but also to formulate a policy that would secure not only the assent, but the active co-operation of a score of nations and the approval of the world a task in winch he has achieved such a signal triumph that he is uni versally regarded as the spokesman for democracy.
