"There Is no ground for fear that wnr time thrift will bring hard times," said Director W. S. Clifford, of tho Council of National Defense, In a statoment to tho country today. "War-time thrift merely means readjust ment; not the cessation of expenditure. Tho whole country Is organized on n peace baslr. It must be readjusted to a war basis," hn said. "It will mean hat less money will be spent for unnecessary things. But far moro money will be ipent for necessities. "Some unnecessary lines of Industry may bn dlt-contltmed. Put for even' man that may bo thrown out of work through the discontinuance ot the manufacture of n luxury, many Jobs will be open. "War-time thrift means tho diversion of all the nation's elfnrts toward things ncces sary for inuliitaininf tho nation's life nnd winning the war. In the readjustment, some few mn suffer temporary loss, but the vnft majority will profit materially and morally.

If they lose their positions In these lines they ran be more profitably employed moro profitably for themselves and their country. "For men in certain lines of Industry at such a time as this to raise the try of pos sible haul times is a display ot unpatriotic, thoughtlessness. "It requires only a second serious thought to reveal th" truth that tho Industrial btrcngth of the nation will bo strained In stead of ht lug leinxotl. In addition, tho enormous demand for labor on tho farm3 would absorb any possible excess. TOft'IlCS KVKRY INDl'STftV "Shipbuilding work alone will require so much labor that the possibility of discon tinuing much of the structural building operations In Ihe country is at band. "The removal of a million or more men from tho business life of tho country ob viously merits more work for thoc behind tho army. This Oovrrnment nnd the Allies will be spending billions in tho production of war materials, which reach virtually cery branch of tndustrv "So as a matter of fact the necessity for thrift is n"t fur purposes of individual sav ing or the cessation of spending, but lit' rtnlly In order that Ihe demand may be ic duceil to the limits of posible supply."
