"WHILE THE GOING'S GOOD!"
EFFECT OF MUCH MONEY AND HIGH PRICES. ' "In manufacturing America," said Mr. E. J. -Ward. W manufacturer of WeiHuston. ■ "there is no genuine attempt to catch no to the demand. They don t want to- catch up to it—quite a reversal of the ordinary argument—because if < thev did. there would be a fall in prices at once, and that would not suit tliem. You hear about the necessity for thrift, and politicians urging everyone to buy ' thrift stamps, ■ but really, as far as I ! could see. there was no thrift. On all eides people seemed tp take pleasure in 6nending at once what they earned, and though the prices for food and clothes were verv high, I am inclined to think that tho margin in favour of the worker is greater than it used to be. You speak to the reasonable, practical man, and his answer is a bit of the ne'wer philosophy ' 1 — "Why should we care while the going's ■ , good?"
