that binds all parts of this country

The memorial of Henry Theodore

disanii at this time, he said, would
be national suicide. He added that
the V.F.W. stood for a universal

force for the protection of the
country. Memorial Day had taken
on a new meaning, he added, be-cause
of the closeness of the re-cent

However before fuller mention of
these banks and other financial
groups, let us imagine ourselves
back in pre-historic times (and al-so
picture Freeport's £5,000 there
too) when there was no money in
existence and people had to barter
and haggle and swap. Swapping
would have meant this c'.ifnculty
I.;r our 25,000:—"I want t3 buy
something 10 iit en." say you. Then
answers the chair-maker "What
v. ill ycu give?"; "As many potatoes
as vou tan carry" say "y:>u. "Noth-ing

i Naturally we assume t'.iey spoke
Knglish).
Swapping or bartering mea.it
just t'.iis—wanting what tlie other
man had to spare just at the
minute that he happened Lo want
What you had 'to trpare. Hence If
w? apply that difficulty to the ten
times ten thousand things tt»ot ore
here in Freeport, the hopelessness
oi barter in modern civilization is
easily seen. Can you barter a
liome-mnde handbag for bananas
in Guatemala; or a piece of tatting
lor rofTee in Brazil; or a lamp-shade
for tea in Ceylon?
The invention of money cut the
knct a id was one of, t'.ie great
lorward steps of man. Whether
he has always made the best use
of it is - not the question. Neither
is there any need to trace the
whole history of money, nor the
i,dd .substances that have been used
at times, nor the necessity to hide
\ c u r money if you did not want
to break your back carrying it on
;i far journey. Money has been
"any material or 'substance tiiat by
agreement serves as a common
medium of exchange, or a measure
of value in trade."
It is the money of 1947. (which
differs much from the money of
1907. 1913 and 19361 that we are
to talk about, whether paper or
metal. In general it comes into

speaking he brings the
money here. The same applies to
the man or woman who is em-ployed
here in f a r t e r y , shop, or
office. Some money comes in- too
as interest en remote investments.
Then what happens? The money
brought in is promptly and in part
scattered for foods, clothing, fun;
lor rents and for debts of all kinds;
for social and religious obligations;
for light and power and the things
that our 25,000 want or need, in-cluding
