Show PEOPLE MUST REFRAIN FROM BUYING DURING WAR Frank B. Anderson, San Francisco banker, and vice-chairman of the General Gen-eral Executive Board of the twelfth Federal, calls attention to the fact ! that at present we pay $1.(50 for i what, after the war and long before I Liberty Bonds come up for redemp-I redemp-I tion, we can buy for one dollar. He points out: "Every dollar saved today and invested in-vested in Liberty Bonds, "First, Aids in keeping rising prices I down; "Second, is a dollar that will have the purchasing power of a dollar I after the war. "Present prices are caused through the population competing with the Government; the Government cannot refrain from buying. The people must! There is not enough production for both. "You feel ashamed under ordinary circumstances to pay $1.(50 for som- thing only worth $1.00. Why not go without it and save your money for the time when normal purchasing power of a dollar has been restored? "Every dollar that is spent is a de- j mand on labor and is competing with 'the Government for the labor and the product that it needs and must have 1 to bring the war to an early end." |
