There is a possibility of the govern
nent putting the clump down on

; rograrn to conserve materials, man
power and transportation, and to in
duce the people to buy nothing but
necessities, putting money that would |
otherwise be spent into war savings

Council of National Defense issues!
Die following statement, with the rec
ommendation that manufacturers and ,
merchants plan their Christmas stocks
in accordance with the government’s!
w ishes:
"The Council of National Defense
end Advisory Commission have re-j
eel veil inquiries as to the attitude of
;!ie government toward Christmas
buying. Manufacturers and mer
chants are desirous to lie advised at
■ hi:- lime in order intelligently to
i;Mi lor their Christmas stocks.
Therefore the council and advisory
commission now announce that it is
, heir belief that Christinas giving
liii'li Involves the purchase of gifts
should be discouraged, as relieving to
that extent the present heavy burden
tdaced upon labor, transportation and
ether resources of the nation, and
Iso us icing in harmony "■ it it the
j-icvii os announcement of the coun
cil and advisory commission urging
thrill and economy upon the country.
This resolution was communicated to
The siaH' councils of defense by the
Council of National Defense, with the
request that il lie brought to Die a I -
tentfon of manufacturers and liter
• hauls, in order that they might plan
their Christmas stocks with full
knowledge of the recommendations |
of the government A number of re
quests for furtiier Information have
been received by the Council of Na
tional Defense and the several state
councils of defense. The following
explanatory statement is now author
ized
Tin- policy ol the Council of N'a-,
tional Defense has been determined
upon as a necessary measure of cron- j
iimv. It was adopted for tilt* sake tif!
saving the labor and materials which
usually go into the manufaeturu of
Christmas gifts, the labor required to
handle the Christmas rush In retail
stores, and the transportation facill
ties of the nation railroads, express
companies and mails; labor, materials
and transportation facilities must all
tie conserved this year lor war pur
poses. Tin* labor which ordinarily
goes into the manufacture or sale of
Christmas articles can In* utilized in
munitions plans, shipyards and other
forms of war work, and no shipment
of munitions or war supplies should
he delayed because the railroads, the
express or the malls are congested
with Christmas packages. The sug
gestion of the government involves
far-reaching modifications in our
Christmas customs, Imt the Counoil
of National Defense believes that the
people of the country will lie glad to
aid in a necessary national economy
It is recommended that families who
are in the habit of giving each other
Christmas gifts shall this year put
into the purchase of war savings
stan.is or government bonds, or Into
the support of war charities the
amount of money which usually they
collectively spend on their presents."
