Waltl Publisher McPherson Mlnaging Editor mower comes not ran AWareness Of For Wages And Prices The attention of Canadians was dir ected to the need for sober aware ness of reality rcgardiugwages nces and government spending in the rone Speech opening the present session of parliament The pertinent passage was Just as incomes cannot increase faster than productivity if price In reases are to be restrained so spend ing by all levels of govewment cannot increase faster than productivity if we wish to restrain the increase in levels of taxation These two realities are among the most important that Canadians and their leaders must bear in mind during the months and years ahead Cancelling thatproductivity holds the key to higher wages and more govern ment spending without corresponding increases in prices or taxation it is dis turbing to read what the Economic Coun cil of Canada said in its recent annual review about what has been happening to Canada in the world market place during the past two years or so The Review reveals that the Consum er Price Index went up fourvper cent in both 1966 and 1967 Prices in fact in creased on broader front than at any time in the past 15 years Alsowage increases negotiated under collective agreements on average ranged between eight and ten per cent annually in the last two years These were the highest increases in well over decade As The Port Arthur NewsChronicle says wage increases add nothing to familys standard of living when they are eatenup by increased prices for necessities and increases in taxation The chief sufferers of course are those in the growing army of persons on fixed means who incomes most pensioner of limited ave no protection gainst theravages of soaring prices be cause they cannot go on strike against anyone or anything to enforce demands for income increases And so the ranks of those living in the muchdeplored poverty increase The simple logicvof the wageprico spiral is obvious it would not be bad thing but on the contrary healthy sign of rising living standards if wage increases were accompanied by match ing production increases and no upturn in prices Figures published earlier this year showed that since 1950 labor rates in Canada had risen 156 per cent The corresponding figure in the United States was 115 per cent In the same period productivity in the US increas ed by 104 per cent while in Canada the gain was only 71 per cent During the past two years the ECC points out wages and prices in Canada have risen more rapidly than in other major industrial countries such as US Britain France Italy and many Canada will never be in strong posi tion to fight the war on poverty arid create Just SoCiety if these trends con tinue The News Chronicle points out The legislative program forecast proposes systematic and continuous reviewof prices and costs although the cabinet has apparently not yetdecided what form of organizationshould be set up to carry out these reviews Wages prices taxes and the cos competitiveness of Canadian industry are the most important problems with wliich Canada must deal Down MEMORY LANE 45 YEARS AGO IN Town Barrie Examiner Sept 274923 Skip
