Subscription Price $1.50. Telephones: Pacific 51; Home A-51. MEMBER OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF OREGON STATE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING 81 "TE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES CONSERVATION OF CREDIT Not only should the goods and labor of the Nation be conserved lor me prosecution of the war; the credit of the Nation must conserved for the anna Tllll'TinaP This is being impressed on the banks, and it should be impressed up on the people, too the borrowers from bankss. All of the banks of the country are being urged by the Federal Reserve Board to curtail their loans. They are urged to loan money only where the borrower is going to use it in some way that will aid in or contribute to winning the war. This policy is not aimed at hamper ing legitimate business. It aimes to help win the war, which is the best thing possible for business. It simply means that money wanted for nones sential purposes, should be refused. "Let the nonessentials wait until the war is finished. The Government needs the money to carry on the war. The farmers, the men and the indus tries engaged in war work or engaged in producing things needed for the efficiency both of our soldiers and of our home people, need the-credit to carry on their enterprises. Merchants should not borrow money to stock up on luxuries or things that the people should not buy at this time. No one should borrow money now to spend needlesly or extravagantly: Unnecessary building, unneeded articles, unessential enter prises should all await the ending of the war. The Federal Reserve Board points out that in the interest of successful Government financing it would be much better for the banks to hold credit within reasonable bounds by in telligent cooperation rather than to discourage borrowing by charging high interest rates. The people should cooperate with the Govern ment and the banks in this policy of conserving credit and curtailing bor rowing except where the money, directly or indirectly, helps win the war, helps our soldiers who are risk ing their lives for our country.
