ECONOMISE!
WARNINGS FBOM HIGH PLACES. (special to "the press.") WELLINGTON, June 4. Returned soldiers and others who are at the present juncture "crying for the moon" would perhaps be wise to listen to the words that have fallen recently from General Birdwood about the gospel of work, and from the Primo Minister about exercising economy. Undoubtedly, if one may judge from Wellington, there has of lato been in New Zealand an undue amount of extravagant expenditure, and r n inclination to sacrifice time to leisure and gaiety. Somi? Wellington women have recently banded together to alter this state of_ affairs, and there seems now a- disposition to economise, or, at all events not to buy luxuries and expensive raiment.
Mr Mnssey, in his speech at the Birdwood luncheon tliis afternoon, sandwiched ih a low words of warning, when ho said that nothing was giving him so much anxiety a.s the proLnbl:-"state of tho finances a year or two years hence. Without in any way expressing nlarmist views, there seems little doubt that th« need for economy and hard work hns not been so urgent in this Dominion for many years as it is now.
