The article, headed "Who Killèd Cock Robin?" ihouid bu equally interest- ing ta ernplayera 'and employees for their thoughtful considération, whlch follows: Nothing is easier than ta accuse workérs af priclng themselvea out of jobs by their wage demanda. It has become a popular trick of the trade among the amateur economists, bath ln the press and in politics. Their line is that wage boosta Jincroase thé cost ai doing business; the-se enhanced casta reie the prices of the goods or serviceâ that are sold; then, when the high prices make buyers shy, thé out- put has ta be curtailed and less labour is requiréd; hermcé, fewer jobs. In thia glib deductian there is same truth, but flot thé whole truth. The part of the truth that is left'out is quite import- ant: the fact that workers don't décide their own terms of hire, ail by themselves.

If neariy full employment le ta be mairiîained, seli-restraint is as much need- éd in thé bidding af employers against ones arxoher for the limited labour supply as il is ln the biddiug of workers for* good wages. Must Showy More Restraint If Canediaus wish ta curtail unneces- sary spénding, to, have mnore money 10 spénd ou ésseutials, there is one place théy cen do il without gréat sacrifice. That is iu their expenditurés an alcoholic bevér- ages. The amount speut by thé people ai Canada on elcohoiic bevéreges is a hugé ane. Il is incréasiug et an alarming raté. iMany who drink are driuklng more, and more people are drinklng. If a proportion ai this greet outlay were uséd for essentiel purposés, many people would be living much bétter. Thé increaeéinuthé amount s peut iu Canada Isince 1946 is $275,000,000. This wouid build a lot ai homes; keep othérs in bélIer répair or betIer furuished, or buy plénty of food and ciothing. The éxpensé ai thé liquor traific ta the Canadian people realiy is much mare than $791,000,000 spént iu 1952. Thére is thé loss sustained in traiiic accidenta ta which liquor contnibutes. Théré are thé crimes resulting frai- thé abuse ai liquor, thé cost ai trials and kéépiug people in prison. There are thé éxpénsés ai broken hornes, ai trealment ai alcoholics and the maintenance ai thosé who havé bécomé indigents as e result of excessive use ai alcohol.
