' UNITED STATES COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. ' V
" ' Washington 7'
Ii A STATEMENT CONCERNING THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.
To the Public:
The I'nited States Council, of National Defense, composed of the Secretaries of
War, Navy, Interior, Agricirlturo, Commerce and Labor, has made a careful investiga
tion of the high-cost-ol'-livint? problem, and finds:
That the Nation's productive powers have not been fully utilized since the
armistice.
That too few goods, notably the necessities of life, have been produced, and
that even some of these goods have been withheld from the market, and therefore
. from the people.
That the high cost of living is due i n part to unavoidable war waste and in-
crease of money and credit. ' i
That there has been considerable profiteering, intentional and unintentional.
The Council believes that the remedies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to produce them in proportion to the needs of the
people.
" To stamp out profiteering and step unnecessary hoarding.
To enforce vigorously present laws and promptly enact such further new laws
as are necessary to prevent and punish profiteering and needless hoarding.
To bring about better co-operation and method in distributing and marketing
goods.
To Keep bum producer and coij&unier fully informed as to what goods are need
ed and as to what supplies are availabl e, so that production may anticipate the
, country's demands
Goods and not money are the means of life. Better standards of living are impos
sible w ithout producing more goods. Man can not consume what has not been produced.
At the war's end our Allies had desperate need of the essentials of life. We have
had to share our resources willi them, but t bis drain will gradually lessen. Tn so far as
our shortage of goods is duo to this cause we can well afford to be patient.
It -is just as essential that we have patience with the economic situation here .at
;.. Iioniiv ,Tli,-i.ni'ess of production requires t ime. Jf production, is. rapUy.,,incre;isel,
" vastly unproved conditions will prevail in A nicrien when' the'resuite of 'present' audu-'
t tire labor begin to appear. -
Team work is imperative. It is ,just ns essential between retailer, wholesaler and
producer as it is between employer and employe. 'One group of producers can not
wait on another group. The manufacturer, .the farmer, the distributor must each iuuned
iatcly assume his part of the burden andenter upon his task. The Nation can not af
ford curtailment of goods vital to the people.
On Ame riean business rests a grave responsibility for, efficient co-operation m
bringing about full and iromrtionat.e prod net ion. On American labor rests an equallv
grave responsibility to .attain maximum unit production and maintain uninterrupted
distribution of goods' if labor itelf is not to suffer from further rises in the enst nf
living.

"The entire Nation producer, distributor, and eorisumer alike should return to
the uni'tv that won the war. Croup interest and undue personal gain must gire wav trt
the good of the whole community iQthe situation is to he squarely met. . ' '
Our common duty now. fully as much as hi the war, is to work and to save. In the
words of the President in his adress to the country on August 23. 1919, only '"hv inereas-ing-production.
mul by rigid economy and saving on the part, of the people, paji we hope
for hu ge decreases in the burdensome cost of living which now weighs us down."
Work, save, co-operate produce. stf&&-4,m ,,.
