BUY NOT, EAT NOT
By BOOTH TARKINCTON
Somrliron we h»ve to go agaimt our training or go broke. Some
times wliat we have alwaya believed to be a rule of virtuous conduct
proves fatal in practice. For inatance, we have grown up in the belief,
fostered by our parents and teachers and enforced by our government,
that we have no right to take or use the property of another person
without his consent, but if the property in question happens to be a
blackjack that the other person is about to bring down on my head
1 shall liave a better chance of surviving if 1 perceive, in time, the
unwisdom of clinging unalterably to old convictions. That is, there
are times of emergency when clinging to an old conviction will be
ruinous. I.ct us consider the present lime in its relation to our old con
viction in favor of thrift.
Po*plc of pioneer stock are often spoken of as the "backbone of the
country," nnd probably they are. Pioneers are thrifty or they don't sur
vive. if the wood pile is used too freely in the autumn i. may no: last
through the winter, and the Midland child learned thrift at its grand
mother s knee. Moreover, we’ve been taught for several generations
tliat it isn't wliat n man earns that counts and takes care of him in his
old age; it's what he saves. We’ve always believed tliat thrift is a
virtue, that spending is risky and that squandering is suicidal. We
demand thrift from our government, vote against political candidates
proven unthrifty, and we investigate, and often relegate to private life,
officials shown to be carelessly lavish with pul,lie funds. The value of
thrift, indeed, is one of our strongest convictions. No oae doubts that
it is a right anil useful conviction or that it would he dangerous to
unsettle ii; but here is the United States government coming to us
now, asking us to buy, buy. buy, advising us to spend our money rather
than to save it, and generally appearing to set itself strongly in opposi
tion to that old principle of tliriftinr-s in which we were trained. There
seem. to be a contradiction somewhere.
Moreover, the government a>k* us to spend at a time when we have
the least to spare, at a lime when the Federal government itself, as
well as our State, county and city governments, are taking hcarily from
us in taxes and in that way lessening our power to spend. Worse still,
our government, through the N.K.A., asks us to spend at a moment
of great financial uncertainty in our lives, at a moment wiicn we don't
know whether we're emerging from the depression or going deeper into
it, and when wo aren't sure whether we're less afraid of the future than
we were a year ago, or more so. The curious thing about the govern
ment's exhortation to us to spend is that the exhorters know how we
feel and how we're situated; they know our old conviction in favor of
thriftiness nnd they agree with tliat conviction—and yet these same
exhorters ask us to buy, buy, buy!
What’s the answer? Money is a means of trade. If you had a cord
of wood and no food, and your neighbor had a cellar full of potatoes
and no fuel, and if neither of you were willing to trade, he'd have raw
potatoes to cal but he’d free/e to death, and you'd have heat enough
perhaps, hut you’d starve to death. Thrill is indeed a virtue; but this
is a lime of emergency during which it's necessary to buy goods so
that somchoiiy'll have money enough to pay us for what wc produce.
If it's bard for us to get rich by washing one another's shirts, it's cer
tainly impossible for us to make a living by washing our own. It seems
wiser to live by spending tlian to perish by saving.

taken steps to dominate this. The
new bridge will be in an entirely
new location and will be much wider
than the present bridge.
