Lack of Remedy Emphasized by Mr Blakeney in Appeal
A letter to The Journal argues that wealth and bonds fail as safety when essential goods run scarce. It cites Mr Blakeney and Waxhaw on coal and warns that inflated wealth figures and stock dividends do not feed people. The piece laments shortages, urges focus on real commodities, and calls for divine justice amid wartime strain.

War Bonds and Wealth, A Novel View From Novus Homo
The writer argues that war bonds finance debt twice or three times and that current bond schemes divert real wealth from producers. He cites editor Beasley’s critique, noting that eliminating paper wealth could make the world richer by freeing commodities. The piece ends with a call to cut the “miserable” tree of financial manipulation and pursue a better system.
