KEEP I
Our country prosperous can pay our war costs, as
they come, and have enough left over to aid our allies.
Our country unprosperous, with business halting,
money hoarded, through fear or false economy, will be
hard pressed to keep food on the table and clothing on the
back.
Keep business going is a patriotic slogan. Keep money
in circulation. Keep employment for everybody. Keep
wages good. Keep on making money that we may have
money to spend for war sacrifices.
The worst thing that could happen to the world these
days would be a business depression in our United States.
War in itself does not cause business depression.
The billions of dollars to be expended in war prepara
tions will be put into circulation in our own country, and
this in itself will create new wealth for use in the world
struggle for humanity.
The one thing that might halt business now is an un
patriotic psychological feeling of panic and a false idea of
patriotic economy.
n • i i 1 • • j • i i
Patriotic economy means the elimination of waste and
extravagance. It means the conservation of our food
products, our natural wealth, our health, our energies, our
labor, our very lives. It means putting more efficiency
in every thing we do so that each unit of money, energy
and intelligence may accomplish the utmost.
Patriotic economy does not mean the lowering of
America’s standard of living, which would make us less
efficient physically and mentally, nationally and individ
ually, and would kill the spirit and the will to do the truly
self-sacrificing things to he done.
Cities and communities must go on with their civic
improvements. Road building and public works must pro
ceed. Railroads must renew their equipment. Factories
must be kept going to their full capacity. Labor must he
employed. Homes musi he kept up. Merchandise must
l>e produced, distributed and used.
War duties and war expenditures must be in addition
to peace duties and peace expenditures. The more we do
the more we can do. The more money we spend the more
we will have in our pockets to spend. Money creates
money.
In a word: The natural sane life of the country must
proceed as though we were not at war, in order that we
may have the necessary prosperity to promote the war to
a quick and successful conclusion.
President Wilson sounds the kevnote in this sentence:
*
"It is evident to every thinking man that our industries,
on the farm, in the shipyards, in the mines, in the fac
tories, must be made more prolific and more efficient.”
Our industries can be made more prolific only if the
people buy and use the merchandise produced by our in
dustries. Manufacturing slackens when business slack
ens. Manufacturing grows in a prolific way when busi
ness grows. And business can grow and remain health
ful only when the people buy and keep money in circula
tion.
Business is going—in the East, the West, the North,
the South. The country is prosperous. Last month’s in
crease in business was very large. Banks may wait in
their operations until the government bonds are assimi
lated. People may pause temporarily in their outfitting
to arrange to meet the new conditions. But the unloos
ing of billions of dollars will unloose a flow of prosperity
absolutely necessary to sustain the world’s burden.
Governments set the pace in their expenditures.
Individuals must not lag behind. Seven billions of
dollars to pay is only $70 per capita in the United States.
Yet seven billions of dollars, put into work at 6 per cent
—a fair estimate of the producing power of money—will
create 420 millions of new wealth.
The income tax we pay will not be a tax on prosperity,
but a spur to prosperity. Every dollar the individual pays
out will come back to him with interest in the general
prosperity of the people.
Keep business going—for our country’s sake. War
cannot be waged and won without the sinews of war.—
John Wanamaker.
