All that is needed to make it eminently successful is adequate support cf the people of this city, all of whom stand to benefit by accomplishments. Our duty is to join the movement, and give it 100 per cent support. Conditions for industrial progress in Pennsylvania appear parental guidance.

The present policy works to eliminate returns from savings on the one hand and boost the cost of living on the other. We have heard much criticism of the banks for drastically cutting the interest paid on deposits.

Government policy is responsible for cheapening money to such an extent that few can look forward to an old age in which they can be comfortably supported by income from invested savings.
