PRIME MINISTER ON THRIFT

BOWLING

“HEALTHV SPENDING.” During a broadcast talk Sir Spender Portal, chairman of the 1 nistee Savings Banks Association. England, read a message from the Prime Minister received for transmission to the president of the International I lin t Institute, the Marquis G. di Capitam d’Arzago, who has been collecting opinions on thrift front the governmental heads of countries which airrepresented in the Institute. * MacDonald wrote:

It must be the concern of ail Governments at all times (but more especially at this time of world economic depression) to encourage habits of thrift among the people. in tne British Islands the total volume ol savings in the three great thrift institutions —namely, the and Scottish Savings Committees, the Post Office Savings Bank, and tne Trustees Savings Banks—represents at the present time the huge sum of over 1100 million pounds, and in addition to these State-controlled organisations there are many excellent friendly societies and other thrift bodies adding considerably to this total. If saving is a wise restraint from luxury spending and not a curtailment'of healthy spending, then the nation is strengthened and the character of the citizen raised. It is my earnest wish that those who are generously working for the cause of thrift iu every nation may continue their excellent work and thereby benefit not only their own country, hut the whole 'world for the furtherance of peace, happiness and prosperity.
