;• WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Reaction

j reports to various government agon- J
i -ion since the beginning of tho armls- ]
tice. War saviors committees In all *
parts of the country have submitted .
(statements tending to show that per
jsons who abstained from buying un
luattessary clothes during the war (
I have tsshed to shops within the past
I week or lMW and bought according to
pre-war standards.
Itetail businesses report stimulation j,
of business by peace flews In some j
cases the response was Immediate. 1 '
buiness showing a big jump vflfhln a j
dnv or two after November 11 This!
s
reaction seems most marked among I .
the wealthier classes.
Reports gathered by the Federal
Reserve board also show activity I
among wholesale houses to meet the J
demands of retailers. The wholesale 11
business, however, is somewhat re- [
strieted by the desire of retail mer
chants to let their stocks run low. ;
while waiting for [trices to come j
down. Thousands of retailers quickly !
arranged special sales of their stocks ; jj
at lower prices, in view of the uncer
tainties of the future course of [trices.

period of sluggishness during the war.
and building materials are now begin

i be holding back, however. Muniei
j pa lit f and states have turned their

thoughts to building roads and
bridges, held up during the w.-.r by

next month officials here look for a

At least eight billions of dollars

i next year from war bonds or war sav- J |
ingx. Officials argue that floating of
j these loans without corresponding
1 saving in money and materials merely
serves to inflate credit, and the prac
tical result of this inflation is a gen- ^
eral rise in prices.
The treusury now is seeking to de*
jvelop means of continuing thrift prop- t|
| aganda throughout the next few years, p
! to educate the public to the duty of
j [laying off Indebtedness before relax
j ing war-time economy. In fact, stu- h
j dents of economy In the treasury de- s
dare that unless the American people
learn lessons of thrift which popula ‘
tlons of England, France, Germany .
and other warring nations have
learned during the past four years,
the country will be in position dur- h
ing reconstruction of absorbing much
more than its share of the world's
available stock of food, materials and 1'
labor needed for the physical rebuild
ing of devastated portions of Europe.
