The great day came—and silence. Not a sound tvas< heard in all the land except the feeble cry of one old deaf man. Everyone else kept qui“t so that he himself could hear the others. d ims we see that one more ancient disc.ivcry may be credited to trie rcstuircefuT'CHinese—that of “letting Cccr{;;i do it’’—the most widely used of all their gifts to civilizatkm. Today too many 0|f us are waiting for George to spcnjl it. I am no prophet. I have no standing as un economi st. And I am not a magician despite my claim that a thing can be made larger by taking away a part of it. What do 1 mean? The best way to insure capital is to spend a part of it when prices are low. The man who spends one dollar out of ten in making i business better will find the nine worth more than the ten as values rise. Mass achievement is ever a matter of individual and co-operative action. Napoleon got his army over the Alps a man at a time. We must rescale the peaks of pmsperity the same way. The Now Is The Time To Buy Trail is our easiest path. Ea^h one who can must spend—and millions can spend if they but wilL ^ While we are waiting for the release of frozen funds to start a buying wave, nineteen out of every twenty dollars in 16,6.55 banks are free to spend as we will. $33,695,974,000 are on deposit. This is 25 per cent more money than we had in all of our hanks when we went into the ’R'orld War to help save those across the sea. Now we refuse to save ourselves. Depression will linger if we wait to spend out of income instead •f out of capital—and our capital may shrink while we wait. Industry has signed with N. R. A. Some have signeil until it hurts. The public should now sign with industry and spend some of its capi- tal. The cow without pasture can give no milk. An industry without salef can pay no wages. Feed industry. Buy something. Build some* thing. Let us not forget this—better an hour of work than a dollar iof dole. Capital is going to take care of the unemployed—either by buying irhat labor produces or by dole taxation. The choice is obvious. And when we spend, personm selfishness should take a holiday. The chisel should not replace the golden rule as a business tool. Tbosn ^ho use it will help prolong depreaaion and in the end murdM* quality* Let’s take a look at the Blue Eagles — 5 -,We tec IQ.its grasp the aymbols of industry and action.
