Great Britain's unsatisfactory posi-

uted largely to the tendency or the
part Of labor to restrict output, with
j resultant check on the ability Of
manufacturer. to guarantee deliveries
or to produce goods in the quantities
needed FOR the extension OF sales
abroad.
Fear Of unemployment is declared By
some British writers 10 be at the bot

prosperity to an end. 1t is not dlf-
dcult, however. to understand why 1t
is followed, he adds, continuing:
Men think that restriction Of out
put entails the employment OF more
labor, and therefore benefits their
fellows To combat this utterly
falacious reasoning i is necessary to
show that so far from benehting their
fellows restriction is root cause of
unemployment Take the hosiery
trade. for instance Manufacturers
hive orders, but cannot get on with
production because the wool combers
are short in the output of yarn. Nor
DO the short hours worked by the
combers result in more workers being
employed, because the supply Of ma
chinery is Insult cient. Meanwhile the
engineers are restricting output and
machines are impossible to obtain.

ers do not understand the position and

The ther aspect Of ca cannJ is even
more grim. Unless Great Britain can

and food, without which the workers
cannot exist. The low value of the

What especially concerns the Rriitsh
