During the war, Amerioans pa triotically and without stint bought millions of dollars worth of war bonds and, in most cases, prudently put them away to be used on a rainy day. The government owes it to these people to protect the value of these savings Of course, the people them, selves have a responsibility, too, and if they pour their bond money into the country’s mart its value will soon deteriorate. But war-time frugfality and pa triotism will have been in vain if the government permits runaway inflation which would ruin the value of these savings.—Augusta Chroni cle.
