NATIONAL TARIFT. VALUE OF THE SAVINGS "MOVEMENT.
Mr. William Graham, M.P., Financial Secretary to the Treasury, and the Right Hon. Austen Chamberlain, M.P., an ex Chancellor of the Exchequer, found thêu. selves on June 25th on the same piatioem. At the Mansion Houw, where they int to advente the cause of the National Savings movement.
The Lord Mayor, who presided, suid the City was specially interested in the moviorist on account of the soundness of the investment, and he appealed to the Mayors of London and neighbouring boroughs, of whom there were fourtem present, to give every encouragement to the formation of Savings Associations in their respective areas. The total number of Savings certificates purchased in the whole country since February, 1916, was 490,000,000.- and the City purchases from | October, 1990, to April. 1942, totalled [8.141.129. pf cash value of £6,307,723.
(Cheers.)
Mr. Grnham on lehalf of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, jurid a warm tribute to the voluntary effort which was applied to this movement, for he and ather members of the Labour party saw, he said, that it meant a real contribution to the economic, social, and industrial reconstruction of the country. Savings Fertificates did not unfairly compete with the Post Office and trustee sayings banks, and it was the desin of the Gay- rument to encourage thrift organism- tions of all kinds. It does not matter very much." he proceeded, what poli- tical faith we hold. Every member has to recognise first of all that capital must I accumulated. There may be differences of opinion as to where the ownership may He, but it is very important for existing conditions in this country that it should be recruited on a large scale and devoted to the most winnerative and productive purposes in this country and elsewhere." We were saddled with a national in debtedness of £7,700.000.000. Whatever was done the reduction and disappear- ance of that debt must occupy many years, and the large sum required an nually in the service of the debt was a weight on the industry and employment of this country. The task was going to be lightened if we used our resources wisely, and to that end, the masses of the people must make their contribution- They should try to distinguish between the value of immediat satisfaction and the saving of their resources, which, in nary cases, was the wrist form of ex- penditure. Above all. the people should kuow that immediate crisis of the war had passed, we were, perhaps in a more eate phase of the economic and financial erisis than we ever were in the hectic war days, and they should asked to make their contribution to the country's recovery by wise süving theirs.)
VALUE OF SMALL SAVINGS. Mr. Austen Chamberlain said that, in spite of the political" differences which dominated the House of Commons, all parties were agreed on the importance of national savings. and be might almost have made Mr. Graham's speech. There was, perhaps, a phrase here and there that would have come, a little differently from his lips, and he did not know that it would encourage anybody to contri- bute 10 capital accumulation if it was impressed upon them, at the same time, that there were differences of opinion as to the ownership of the capital when it had been accumulated (Laughter.) As an ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, be paid a tribute to the immense value of the work which the City of London Savings Committee and, similar societies had lone. The movement, born of war necessity. hnd developed into a necessity of peace, and it was even possible that there was still room for further organi sations. offering rather different op- portunity, to bring in new men and new money. In truth, capital would be its own guardian, and the wider the capital. interests were spread the safer would be the foundation of our national life. The Chancellor of the Exchequer in "a letter

"Experienen has shown that the accumu Bated small savings of the nation can be made an important factor in national finance. There was profound truth in this sentence, bus it was got the whole truth, herause those whom they had train- id to save became investors of money as well, contributing not merely to the general recovery of national finance, hut also to the equipment, promotion, and Who development of national trade. could say that the ultimate solution of the housing problem or of the difficulties which agitated the industrial world might not be found in the habit of thrift and investment, which that society was en- couraging (Cheers.}

Lord lalington (Claimant of National Savings Committee) declared that the movement get out deliberately ta real capitalists. Probably one of the social and economic dificulties that had beset us in the past has been the fact that wealth had been unevenly distri huted. The National Savings Movement sought to rectify that by the creation and multiplication of capitalists, assuring a thore-een distribution of wealth through- but the country. If the State, was to re- cover. it must be by the savings of the people. (Cheers.)
Among those present were Sir William Plender (who presided after the Lord Mayor had opened the proceedings), Vis count Inchcape, Sir Win. Waterlow, and representatives of the Stock Exchang London Chamber of Commerce, and a large number of the leading financial and business houses of the City.
