Solution of the financial crisis super
Induced by the unjust cost of living-,
Is lamely In the hands of the American
people themselves, according to the
Vnltcd Stntcs Federal Hesorve Flnnrd,
In his lette to the Pennte Committee
on tlnnktng and Finance. W. P. 0
Hurtling, governor of the Federal Re
serve Puard. snld:
"Whether viewed from an economlo
cr financial standpoint the remedy for
the present situation Is the same, nnm-v
ly to work snd to s:vi; work regularly
snd efficiently, In onli-r to produce and
d'strlhute the lurgost possible volume
of commodities, snd to exercise econo
mies In order that money, good nnd
sen Ices may be devoted n imnrlly to
tb.0 liquidation of debt snd lo the sat
Infliction of the demand for necessities,
rather than to the Indulgence In ex
travagance or the gratification of 1
desire for I'lturles."
America must both work snd save
There are many wavs to work but only
one way to save. That Is to save first
and spend aflerwards, to put aslile the
first dollar that comes In, not the last
dollar that goes out. It was to make
possible the saving of even the smallest
suras and their safe Investment that
government Savings Stamps nnd Treas
ury Saving Certificate were offered to
the American people.
Students of economics declare that
this country Is on a magnificent pros
perity debauch. Dealers In jewelry, ex
pensive apparel and fond delicacies
throughout the country say the demand
for their wares Is unprecedented and
that buyers do not care what they pay
for them.
