SOME ONE HAS SAID “IT IS JUST AS PATRIOTIC
TO SPEND TODAY AS IT WAS TO BUY LIBERTY
BONDS DURING THE WAR.” THE SPENDER TO- -
DAY WILL PROVE TO BE THE CONQUEROR OF (
THOSE TWO GREATLY MAGNIFIED BUGABOOS,
DEPRESSION AND U N E M P L O Y M E NT. THE
HOARDER HAMPERS THE RETURN TO PROS
PERITY.
There is no real reason nor reasoning to justify
the great fear of spending that the public has conjured
up in its mind. Let us see if this is true.
Depression is due to lack of business. When the
public stops buying, demand ceases and when demand
ceases production halts and when production halts un
employment remains stagnant. So depression is a direct
and definite result of the lack of spending.
The public has the means to buy for only a small
percentage are actually unemployed. Let us see if this
is true. Of America’s 120 million population there are
approximately 100 million able to work. There is today
about three and one-halt million unemployed. The^ av
erage unemployment during normal, prosperous times
is two million so that only one and one-half million are
out of work today over the normal times or about one
and one-half per cent of the working population.
The rest of the people can buy if they will. They
have the means, the need, the desire if they will only
banish fear. Spend and you create demand * * * create
demand and you start production * * * start production
and you diminish unemployment Money in circulation
is the only solution to national and individual prosperity
