BUY NOT, EAT
By BOOTH TARKINGTO.N
Sometimes we have to go against our training or go.hn.ke. J^>me-
times what we have always believed to be a rule of vir^uis <-pndurl
proves fatal in practice. For instance, we have growij up jn the l)i^ief,
fostered by our parents and teachers and enforced by t>ur government,
that^c have no right to take or use the properly of another perstm
without his consent, but if the property in question happens to Iw a
blackjack that the other person is about to bring down on my head
I shall have a better chance of surviving if I perceive, in time, the
(unwisdom of clinging unalterably (to old convictions. That is, there
are times of emergency when clinging te an old conviction will bo
ruinous. Let us consider the present time in its relation to our old con
viction in favor of thrift.
People of pioneer stock are often spoken of as the “Irackhone of the
country,” and probably they are. Pioneers are thrifty or they don’t sur
vive. If the wood pile is used too freelyjin the autumn it may not last
through the winter, and the Midland child learned thrift at its grand
mother’s knee.Moreover, we’ve been taught for several generations
that it isn’t what a man earns that counts and takes care of him in his
old age;'it’s what he saves. We’ve always believed that tVrift is a
virtue, that .spending is risky and that squandering is suicidal. Wo
demand thrift fr»)ni nur government, vote against political candidate*
proven unthrifty, and wc investigate, and often relegate to private life,
officials shown to he carelessly lavish with public funds. The value of
thrift, indeed, is one of our strongest convictions. Nt* one doubts that
it is a right and useful conviction or that it would he tlangerons to
unsettle if; hut here is the Ibritcd .St.ales“^\crnincnt.,cyjuing to us
now, asking ns to buy, huv, buy, advising us to spend our money rather
than to save if, and gen.crally appearing to set itself strongly in vtpjvosi-
lion to that old prineijile of thriftiness in which we were trained. There
seems to he a cotitrailiction svunewhere, —!
^foreover, the government asks us to spend ut a time when we have
the least to spare, at a lime when the Federal govcinmcnt itself, as
well as onr Stale, coiinlv and city governments, arc taking heavily from
us in taxes awd in that way lessening onr power to xpend. Worse still,
our governinenl, through the N.K.A., asks ns to spend at a moment
of great financial nncertainty in onr lives, at a moment when we don't
I'J
know whether we're emerging from the depression or going drefiCr int'j
it, and when we aren’t sure whether we’re less afraid of the future than
we were a year ago. or more .so. The curious thing about the govern'
ment’s exhortation to ns to spend is that the exh.irlcrs know how we
feel and how we’re siliiatcd; lliey know onr old c^viction in favor of
thriftiness and.tliey agree with that .conviction and yet these same
exhorters ask us to buy, liuy, buy!
Wlial’s tlie answer? Money is a means of trade. If you had a cord
of wood and no food, and yopr neighbor had a cellar full of potatoes
and no fuel, and if neither of you were willing to trade lie’d have raw
potatoes to eat but he’d freeze to death, and you’d have heat enough
perhaps, but you’d starve to death. I'hrift is indeed a virtue; but this
is a time of emergency during which it’s necessary to buy goods so
that somebody’ll have money enough to pay us for wliat we produce.
If it’s hard for us to get rich by washing one another’s shirts, it’s cer
tainly impossible for us to make a living hy washing uur own. It seeiAs
wiser to live by spending than to perish by Saving. ——
