TIE Only WAY TO CREATE VEAL It'll
Isl PRODUCE IT FROM THE EARTH

WISE words and true words those which James
~ Henry Thomas British labor leader spoke when be
to work and produce more than they ever had produced
fore
Even worse than p1oteerng is voluntary reduction Of
production Many Of the things profteered IN do not
buy We do without OF use suitable substi-
es But When production is deliberately cut by workers
nc seek tneIeny 70 gam sellsh adVantage for them
selves food is being taken from the mouths Of babies and
clothes from the backs Of the poor
ar Thomas told his brother workers in Britain they
ust work quarter harder than before the He says
BE French must work twice hard they formerly did
I'D that Germany must work Is times harder IN order to
catch He sets no figure for America but twice as hard
considering We must supply the world for long years to
come would not be too fast pace to set and still main
sin a fair standard Of efficiency.
Suppose the workers Of America proauoed Just twice
much What would be the result both the workers and
the general pubc7 By producing twice much N the
tmeand that It be done has been demonstrated
many Factories receutyand BY charging for a
days WORK, workers would enable their employers to
sen goods considerably reduced instance #
1900 shoemakers produced 10000 pairs Of shoes in
gwen TINE instead OF lOOOy, the only addiuona cost TO
manufacturer would be the cost CT his materials There
would be additional overhead. This would mean that
could sen each pair those loo pairs Of shoes
oo0 pairs Of shoes This would reduce the Of living
the workers who made those shoes IN the factory. If
be bakers and garment workers and all other laborng
men who produce necessities would speed mp without los
ing efficiency they could continue TO get the wages
d yet reduce their living costs very materially In
answer to the argument that the manufacturer might not
reduce his prices though his costs reduced 1t
might be said that the profits tax and competition
would probably take care Of that
wealth can't be increased BY increasing the volume Of
money # II could be could turn the printing presses
oDse making paper money as Russia did Russia made
great discovery She found that the buying power of the
osl volume Of her currency renamed the same no nat
er much she increased It The only way the world
create wealth is to produce 1t from the EARTH tie air
d the water by Of the application Of labor What
Be world needs is not more money, but actual
ait-aors goods that satisfy human wants. The only
way get that IN sufficient quantities and fair prices
for everybody &c produce whatever he IS able IN some
essential lire.
Centuries before Christ Egypt had a king named
Arasis. This king promulgated q law which required
every citizen Of The country appear before his governor
O. stated occasions and tel what he did for living
y citizen could not give satisfactory account Of himself
Of not working at worth while occupation he
put to death. That little harsh but 1t got nd
Of the drune Today might proitahy resort to some
means Of ferIeng out the workers IN the nonessentia
lines After had them segregated might do vel &c
pat them 70 work at something useful sung the ability
. the job IS near possible
When the day comes again that the markets Of the
World gutted with goods can let down volume
AID direct energies toward increasing quality Mean
deliberate restriction Of output should be penalzed
Lots Of people keep ont Of jan through innocence some
through pull, but lot Of others because they lucky
s4ough not to be caught
Whenever the president really wants congress to do
something he should write a message opposing it
MeAdoo has decided that being the presidents sOnin-
law is too much to overcome
