THE LIVING TWINS

Along with the generally prevailing
talk about the High Cost of Living there is
also no little discussion of the Cost of Living
High. These economic twins appear to be
as inscparable as the Siamcssc twins that
Barnum displayed for the entertainment of
the public years ago.
There is no denying the fact that the
American people have made Il remarkable
rise i'm living standards during the past ten
years Here i'm Ontario for example where
500 per cent of the people fall within the
realm ofwhat is popularity described as "thc
middle class, " the standard of living of the
vast majority is equal to that of the million
aires of half century ago.
The majority now living on this scale
are doing so, not on accumulated savings Of
years but from their monthly incomes. II
therefore follows that these incomes must
J" greater all round than ever before. There
is 40 longer spirit of denying present pleas
urcS for future comfort and financial secul-
ity. Everyone wants to make money fast
right now and spend it accordingly.
When an OntaIian talks about the High
Cost of Living he must include the cost of
running an automobile for pleasure. This
must be So, for il takes the work of more
people, the space of more and larger build
mgs. to care for the automobiles of Ontario
and vicinity than il does To feed and clothc
not only the owners of these ears but the
hundreds who do not joy ride thru life.
OF course the answer is obvious that an
automobile is Il necessity now Well may be
it is. But if il is then the residents of Onta-
rio; and they are not exceptional in Amer
lea, must accept that fact and admit that
since we have reached that level of living we
must pay the bill.
II is due to this rise in the standard of
living, together with the socialistic agitation
rcsomdmg the jargon about producers
and capitalists and all that mongrel rub
bish of the blatant soap boxers of the com-
try that is the cause of the present indus
trial unrest, and to which the American
people must give their serious consdcra-
tion during the next few years,
The only way to sever the Living Twins.
Iii Cost, and Cos of High Living, has been
terscly put by many leaders of public thot
both here and abroad, for the problem is the
same i'm England and France as it is here,
Lloyd George stated the ease directly when
ne said; "Wc will either have to produce
more on lower our standard of living.
That is what the American people will have
to do, too.
1t is all right to maintain the standard
of living. No one really wants to see the
standard lower, but it can only be main
tanned by more production. We can not eat
our meat and keep it too. And we can not
produce more by loathing and JOY riding.
This is especially true now when the pro-
duct of American farms and American fac
tories are required to supply the needs of
dcvastcd Europe. In other words the law of
supply and demand is taking its toll and SO
long as this condition continues the Living
Twins are bound to be with us and survive
the attempted operations of political
surgeons.

THE STICKING POINT

As the result of the Presidents con-
ference with the Senate foreign relations
committee it is apparent that the sticking
point is the Interpretation of the famous Ar
ticle " The Presidents view is that this is
not legal imposition of duty upon the
United States but lin certain circumstances
and absolutely compelling moral obliga-
ton" 1t is apparent therefore that there
is discrimination, without a difference
