HIGH COST Of LIVING
By Sheldon S. Cline.
No. 6.
Higher Wages Not a Cure.

There are those who would have US
believe that higher wages are
panacea for all the ills growing out OF
the present high cost of living. There
could be 10 greater economic fallacy.
If it were possible for Congress to en-
act a law increasing overnight the IN

States by rs per cent few would be

be harmed Benefit would come only 10

or incomes not conditioned on the pros

widespread harm would result be-
cause such an increase would snut US
out almost absolutely from the mar Rets 8
of the world. Every article OF export
would have to bring 25 per cent more
because it would have cost rs per cent
more to produce it. The world simply

the world would demand in payment
would be IS per cent cheaper in Amer
lea than anywhere else on the surface
of the globe.
i Fortunately, Congress has not the
! mower to legislate an advance in all our
incomes. But the same thing is being
accomplished, little at a time. Work

wage cost is added to the price OF the

Straightway he begins to agitate for
another increase in wages. And SO 1t
goes. round and round the circle. no
one much better off and no one much
worse on-so long as the producer is
able to find a buyer among those who
are in the whirl-that is. so long as the
home market consumes home production.
But whensthe producer goes to look out
side for market for mis- surplus prod
ucts he finds he is unable to compete
on equal terms with people whose eco
nomic systems are not governed by any
such giddy dance.
No one blames the workers in the
harvesting machinery plant for seeking
the increase Of wages. 1t Is the only
remedy they see-even II it is merely a
palliative for a symptom, instead of a
curative for the malady itself. They
do not stop to think that the relief they
secure is bound to be only temporary,
