Next comes in the scarcity of men with Resultant high wages for the smaller number left to do the work. This scarcity of men is not only due to the horrible waetage of life on European battle-helds but, in this country, to the almost entire cessation of immigration. Where we used to absorb more than a million new work men each year, we are now getting less than a hundred thousand, and these of an inferior grade. Therefore wages have gone up and will have to go up still more. This, on the face of things. would seem to promise some sort of equalization between income and outgo, at least in the case of wage earners. Will mounting wages keep up with the cost of living? I quote again:-
 "Only up to the dead line, where the employer can't pay more and do bus mess The farmers are at the dead line now. They are not expanding operations. They are retrenching. The railroads say they are at the dead line. Thousands of factory owners de- clare that the minute the abnormal profits of war orders cease they will shut down and scrap their machinery They cannot pay the wages created by the scarcity of labor"
