coop the ecoxomic steeplechase by lewis milligan it is no laughing matter but 1 confess 1 had a good laugh to myself when i read the following extract from the british labor governments white paper econ omic survey 1947 issued in february last at the present time there is too much money chasing after too few goods to increase the amount of money in peoples pockets does nothing to increase the amount of goods available on the contrary it makes the situation worse since if there is still more money chasing the same amount of goods prices must sooner or later be forced up and no one will be any better off than they were before f after 1 had recovered from my sudden fit of cachinnation 1 examined the statement more close ly to discover what it was that tickled me 1 found that the humor of it was so to speak double- barrelled in the first place the idea of too much money chasing after too few goods and then still more money chasing after the same amount of goods followed by the chasing of prices up the spiral staircase was in itself a funny motion picture but the thing that caused the explosion was the child like simplicity of the concluding passage prices must sooner or later be forced up and no one will be any better oil than they were before it was these last words that touched my funnybone far it seemed t6 me that the idea that no one will be any better off for all this chasing had struck the writer as an afterthought as though he had made a unique discovery it may indeed be a new discovery for some members of the labor gov ernment who have for years been engaged in promoting this econo mic steeplechase they have all along contended that higher and higher wages will give to the workers more and more purchasing power which would enable them to buy more and more goods raise their standard of living and pro vide full employment for every body now that they have got into power and have come to close grips with the practical problems of fin ancing production and marketing they have discovered the fallacy of their theory of big purchasing power they have discovered that high wages are not purchasing power at all unless there is an abundance of goods to purchase the theory might have worked out all right if high wages had been accompanied by higher production but they put production into re verse with slowdowns and strikes and the reduction of working hours the logical result was increased production costs decreased produc tion shortages higher prices and a lowered standard of living the white paper understated the situation when it said that no one will be any better off that they were before for the british workers are worse off than they- ever were be fore it may seem like a callous thing to say but i believe from what i saw in britain that the workers would be better off with lower wages this is practically what the white paper means when it speaks of too much money chasing after too few goods this point is doubly emphasized by the further statement that to increase the amount of money in peoples pockets does nothing to increase the amount of goods available on the contrary it makes the situation worse the average worker in britain as in most other countries does not save his surplus earnings and if he cannot spend them on the neces saries of the little luxuries for the home he will waste the money as he is now doing on gambling and amusements the chief incentive to work full time is thus destroyed and the labor government is try ing to restore that incentive by its work or want campaign it is an appeal to the fear of want as the spur to hard work in its poster appeal to the ieople the govern ment declares if we dont work hard very soon we will have to go without much that our families take for granted were up against it we work or vyaxt that is a very obvious truth which is as old as the human race the saying money isnt every thing is well exemplified in the present lot of the british workers it comes down to the simple truth belatedly discovered bv a labor government to increase the amount of money in peoples poc kets does nothing to increase the amount of goods available some labor leaders on ths continent have yet to make that discovery gilson oil burner hay mixtures in experiments over a number of years at the dominion experi mental station lennoxville pq mixtures
