The worst Of 1t Is that In this cruel world
it Is sometimes necessary to work or die. and
am convinced, most unhappily, that IL the

beautiful privilege Of laziness, then as . nation
we are going to die. slowly but very surely.
1t is partly the fault OF those foolish for

We may prefer poverty. We may see no
cause for lanentation' In the loss of world
trade and world power. We may be willing to
see unemployment spreading, ana young men
lounging on the dole.
But don't let us squeaI II, having accepted
the privilege Of short hours and time 70 think.
we ind ourselves rather poverty-strtcken on
lower wages all round, and without work, even
IL we want III
There is only one alternative, IN my Jndg-
ment It IL to get higher wages all round,
greater national prosperity, lots OF money to-
spend by abolishing that limitation OF output
which Ii the curse OF Industrial England from
an economic point Of view, and working
little longer and little harder, not only IN
ranks.
1t Id the secret Of American wealth which
some Of us envy, though we profess to, dislike
1t as q nasty, vulgar thing.
In the United States wages are rising all
the time. The standard OF living. In q material
way, Ii vastly higher than our own. Every
family has its automobile. and many other
amenities and luxuries. It is done by speeding
UP production.
The .speeding-up' Is too severe in some Of
their factories. They exaggerate that side OF
things. and the rich American often has no
time to enjoy his money. But adopting the
policy Of the middle Of the road, we should go
halfway in their direction, or a little more
than half. 1t is: am certain. the only solu-
tion to our labor troubles.
Don't let wages be reduced. That means
dragging down the standard OF living. and
limiting the expenditure Of the individual upon
which the general prosperity Of the nation
depends. Let wages be higher, production
IL increased and cost reduced. Instead Of
cursing capital. let every workingman be a
capitalist, az most OF them are in the United
States.
It would of course. spoil the fine art of
laziness which we have acquired as national
habit. In some ways it would be a loss to the
charm Of our leisured life. But 1t would help
US to survive in world Of competition-and
that seems worthwhile.
