The Cordova daily times., 1923-03-24
By H. D. HENDERSON,, Lecturer on Economies at Cambridge
 University

LONDON, March 24.-Societies, like individuals, are often influenced in their actions by motives of which they are hardly conscious.
 the European competition in arma- ments, and thus indirectly for the Great War, the notion that expendi- lures on ornaments means more em- ployment counted, believe, for more than is commonly supposed.
 Its influence, it is true, was always negative in character. It was never the ground upon which armaments in any country were advocated, or even desired. But it served effectively, if subtly to paralyze opposition. Labor was the organized social force, which, by reason of it's general outlook and international aspirations, was most antipathetic to militaris policies and least susceptible to the ordinary ap- peals of Jingoism. But it was pre- cisely with labor that the additional employment in arsenals, dockyards, etc., carried most weight.
 Resistance Is HaIf-Hearted
 And so, while Labor throughout Flu rope deprecated warlike preparations, and often denounced them, it was mo- where capable of resistance that was whole-hearted. Nor is the present po- sition materially different. The Wash ington Conference was received with many misgivings on the Tyne and on the Clyde, and the employment consid- eration helped to make the reduction of naval ornaments agreed upon less drastic than might otherwise have been possible.
 Not long ago the 'New Statesman made the following comment on the British decision (with the wisdom of which I am not concerneO to build the two new battleships permitted by that agreement:
 The orders will represent huge waste of public money, but there is the consolation that a good deal of "work" will be created. To lay them down is to build not against any inn aginable threat, but merely against a

foreign naval list-a palpable absurd ity. But they will provide employ ment.
 This is not an attitude which in itself promotes large ornaments; but it helps to make them possible.
 What then is the real truth about the relations between ornaments and employment?
 Is Merely Diversion of Employment
 Essentially, as is often pointed out, armament expenditure does not repre- sent the creation of additional employ ment, but merely the diversion of en- ployment from some branches of in- dustry to others.
 The purchasing power expended on guns or battleships would otherwise have been employed on other things. The State might have used it to build houses or public works, or it might have left it in the pockets of the tax power, who would then have either in
 
 demand for such things as factories and machinery or extended his per sonal consumption. In any of these cases it would have meant as much employment as it's use for arma- ments entails; more, perhaps, if it had been left to the taxpayer, since the process of taxation inevitably in wolves some incidental waste; while if used for the capital equipment of industry, it would have helped to make us later on a more prosperous community. Thus, for every "job" which munition works provide, they take away "job' somewhere else.
 Essentially this argument is sound; but as practical counterweight it has two serious weaknesses. The diminution of employment in other directions which armament eXpendi- ture entails is, in the first place, not obvious; in the second place, it is not always immediately true.
 Judged By Immediate Results
 The first point represents a familiar difficulty, which is always cropping up, the difficulty of attaching as much weight to consequences which are not clearly visible as to those which are. But by itself it would not prove very formidable.
 The second point is more serious. If a Government refrains from build ing battleships, it does not follow that an equivalent amount of purchasing power will be at once expended by either the Government or private in dividuals on something else. This is true enough Gin the long run" but, as is often said, it is in the short run that the worker has to live. Gro be concluded in Mondays issue)
