All Spending Too Much

Every Continental nation is
spending more than it is taking in
from taxes. Most Of them are at
,emptng to mako up part Of the
Ue'icit by adding to the paper cur
iehcy. The result is great actual
appreciation in the value of the diff
.1erent currencies-and this depre-

needs above all else hard, efficient
work and goods, goods and more
goods
"Jobs are not work and money Is
not wealth. They are beginning to
discover In Russia that you can't eat
rubles, and the inner meaning Of
the paroxysms this country is ex-
periencing over the high cost Of liv-
ing is the realization that our money
Is no longer what we thought it was.
A dollar is no longer q dollar. It's
been clipped to half or less its for
ner value. 1t used to be a token Of
exchange value that was worth Its
face. It Is no longer such, because
with less goods and more money it
can't be If there is anything in
arithmetic Nevertheless, all the
people of the world seem to be OBJ
sessed with the idea that money is
wealth and that the clever thing is
to get possession Of it in return for
the minimum Of labor or Of value. "
Frank A. Vanderlip, banker,
fnancier, manufacturer, exporter,
student Of economics In the various
phases of his spacious and busy life

American countries solve their
financial problems through the
medium of the second Pan-Ameri-
can financial conference - began
that way when | asked him if work
is not the greatest need of the world
today.

Ythe relations between employer and
employees, what can be Immediately
done to stimulate production-to
get more work done?"
Eliminate the causes Of indus
trial unrest that are external to ia
dustry. The chief Of these is in
flation. We must sternly determine
to go no step further In imitation.
Every billion dollars we add to in
f1ation means a billion moro devils
of unrest. Yet we have inflated
imitation by about four billions since
the signing of the armistice. Every
dollar Of imitation means tampering
New-York tribune., 1920-02-01

the moment labor feels in America
that Its actual wages-the goods its
money pay will buy-are fairly lib
eral. Nevertheless, it is certain that
there is a great labor unrest that
results directly in diminished pro-
duction.
Labor wants something more
than wages. It wants new status,
and with that aspiration l am in en-
tire sympathy. l do not think that
American labor wants voice in the
general direction Of industry, but it
does want larger voice in its own
immediate industrial surroundings
and activities. This aspiration must
be satisfied as one of the steps
toward speeding up production, of
restoring normal relation between
wages and output. I have much
faith that this ambition for a new
status will be met through the crea-
ton of shop committees which shall
have the constant opportunity for
conference with the management re-
garding shop conditions. Such ex-
periments as have been made with
this system show that it tends to
blend workers and management into
a harmonious team with better mu-
tual understanding and with the
elimination Of friction"
ITO what extent has production
fallen off in Europe and in the
United States?"
GAS to Europe, we can only guess.
The statistics Of exports and i'm
ports l mentioned while ago show
plainly, however, that Europe is far
below normal production. The short
age there Is, Of course, due to many
other things than the attitude of
labor. AS for the United States,
Professor Kemmerer, of Princeton,
reckons that our total industrial
production is only s per cent larger
now than it was in 1913. In the
mean time, our population has in
creased by several millions and the
capacity of our productive machin-
cry and equipment has increased
tremendously. Also, the man-power
Of the country is employed to-day
more continuously and generally
than it was In 1913. Yet, after
seven years, we can show an increase
Of only per cent in the actual
volume Of goods produced-not in
their money measure.
THAT tells the story Of labor in
efficiency There are few producers
in the country, excepting those
manufacturers who have succeeded
in establishing satisfactory rela-
tions with their employees, who do
rot know from their own experience
how deplorably unit production has
/ fallen off.
II should say that we are not pro-
ducing more than 60 per cent of
what we should with the plants and
labor forces we have. That is an
appalling fact at this critical juno
ture in the worlds history, when we
should be straining every nerve to
meet current needs, to say nothing
of the great gap in the worlds
wealth blown out by tho war. Abso-
New-York tribune., 1920-02-01
Symptoms of the Disease

What are the symptoms Of the
worlds malady that cause you to
diagnose it as a grave case Of in
sufficient production?" l asked next,
LAS q doctor uses q clinical ther-
mometer as the first step in dag
nosis, SO | would use international
exchange. note that recently,
for example, exchange rates with
the principal European countries
reached the lowest level in their his
tory. That is an extremely signifi-
cant fact and has two meanings. The
first Is that those countries are i'm
porting vastly more than they are
exporting. The figures for the year
just closed show that Europe i'm
ported more than it exported to the
tune Of billions. France reported
an excess Of imports over exports
amounting to S4,119,0O0,O00 and
Italy s2,500,000,00O. I have not at
hand the figures for the United
Kingdom, but they are about as
alarming.
THE consequent demand for
foreign exchange to pay for imports
that are not counterbalanced by ex-
ports is, however, only u partial
cause for the decline in exchange
rates. At the same time that the
nations Of Europe are showing un-
exampled deficits in their foreign
Trade balances they are also show
ing tremendous deficits in govern
mental income as compared with
governmental expenditures.
For the nine months of the Euro
pean fiscal year ended December
ol the expenditures of the British
government were f419, 100000 more
'han the revenues, and the deficit
was made up by fresh borrow
lhgs. The corresponding figures for
'"'iee ana Italy are not avallab bic, i,
oue approximately the French
budget of q, 600, 100000 francs is
oelng met by only ten or eleven
unions of revenues. Premier Nitti
VI italy has recently stated that the
i.ailan state expenditures amount to
ABOUT three times Italy's revenues.

Hloltlon. ConslCerlng 1t in respect
to its industrial and economic effect
firmly believe that prohibition is
the biggest bull factor we have
ever had. The economic effect is
far deeper than the mere saving of
the liquor money and the elimination
of a vast activity that was essen
TALLY, not economically, productive.
We are going to be more efficient
in work and sounder in our think
ing because we are through with
booze-and that secondary effect of
prohibition completely overshadows
the direct economic saving"
but Mr.. Gompers says that pro-
hlbition causes unrest"
"Yess but it is an intelligent
clear-headed unrest, not an emotion
al irritation such as you have in a
country that Is always booze soaked.
"Another optimistic factor thar
must eventually permeate the con-
sciousness Of even our most dis
turbed and recalcitrant people is the
supreme opportunity that the con-
junction Of events has placed in our
hands: The world Is at our feet If
we only know how to handle our
selves. If we will but take off our
coats, quit scrapping with each other
and get down to efficient work there
will be for all Of us such rewards
for work as we never dreamed of
before. The feast is spread, and
the only ticket of admission is an
honest days work for an honest
days pay. Words fail me when I
contemplate the prospect. The only
question is whether we shall sit
down to the feast or let it spoil
while we quarrel over advantageous
places at the board.
Among many advantages with
which we are blessed there is
single one that should make Us
supreme in industry. Put it in
paragraph by itself and print it in
capitals:
1--WE HAVE A HOME MARKET
OF 1l0,O00,0OO PEOPLE WITH
TREMENDOUS BUYING pow
ERS, SIMILAR WANTS AND
TASTES AND WITHOUT A
SINGLE POLITICAL OR ECO
NOMIC BARRIER ANYWHERE
ACROSS ITS MAGNIFICENT Ma
TIONAL ESTATE.
THAT means that for all articles
Of commerce that can be made by
mass production in which the great
advantages of manufacture on
huge scale outweigh the advantages
Of low wages we can compete sue
cessfully with any other people in
the world. Added to this environ
mental endowment is the compile
mentary fact that we have a ma
tional genius for mass production
You might say that we have the
greatest national quantity produc-
ton factory in the world and the
best quantity production brains and
workers.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-01
Labor Profteers, Too

For similar reasons you may say
that labor also has been prohteering
and also inevitably. Labor has in
disputably secured advanced wages
for other reasons than its own ef-
ficiency. That being the case, there
should be no surprise that labor
should fail to see a connection be-
tween efficiency and a claim to
higher wages. The loss Of conviction
in the mind Of labor that there is a
necessary connection between ef-
ficiency and wages is one of the
fundamental reasons for the low pro-
ductivity with which we are now
cursed"
"Is not the trouble with labor,
rather, that it considers studied low
productivity club for bringing
about the possession of a larger
share Of the products of Industry"
THAT is one Of the factors in the
present abnormal situation Of CO.
incidentally hungry and hesitant
world. Organized labor the world
over has held great economic fall
lacy. 1t has too frequently believed
that there was fixed sum total of
work and that, consequently, If the
individual worker did less there was
more demand for the labor Of his
fellow workers. This has resulted in
a sort Of false philosophy of slack
ing.
"Workmen almost always feel that
in the measure that tho individual
slows down production the more
there is left for his fellows to do:
that is, the more Jobs. If we broadly
consider the whole industrial field,
this view Is, Of course, anabsolute
and demoralizing fallacy. The sum
total of goods produced IS the full
measure Of what there is to dis
tribute. An abundance Of goods can
come only from an abundance of pro-
duction. Labor being the great con-
sumner of goods, getting the larger
proportion Of the annual production
Of wealth, is really, in tact, more
vitally interested in large production
than any other class. Nevertheless,
at this critical time when the world
has lost useful production amounting
through the years of the war to hun
dreds Of billions, labor seems to be
more attached to this destructive
fallacy and its dorivative practices
than at any time in modern indus
trial history. With the world clamor-
ing for goods and in dire need, even
our productive machinery is running
at only about GO per cent Of capacity
because of the paradoXical delusion
that the less work the individual
laborer does, that is, the less he
produces, the more there will be to
divide. That's what meant when I
said that JOB was not work"
"But, in any event, is not labor
unrest and the low productivity that
results party due to a deep convic-
tion on the part of workers that
labor as a whole does not get an
equitable share OF the wealth pro-
ducton of the world?"
