serious decline in that export trade
which Is at the very foundation of this
country's industrial depression.
The population of Britain between
1913 and 1880, has increased more
100000, 8 per cent, but the volume of
British produce and manufactures
shows within the same period de-
crease Of fully 80 per cent. The signifi-
cant fact, however, is that even by 1929,
before the world depression began, Brit
ish exports had fallen nearly 20 per
cent as against 1918, although during
the same period the trade of the world
as a whole had increased rs per cent.
The majcr reason for that loss of
export trade is that British costs of
production, and therefore selling prices,
are too high as compared with those
OF competitors. When an examination
is made of the disparities in the high
standards Of living and public expendi-
ture which exist in Britain, as COM
countries, the reasons for the handicap
in British production costs become
manifest.
First there is the disparity in
national taxation per head of the
population. For setting Britain at 100,
that of France is "a, Germany, so;
Belgium, 38. and Italy 80. The dis
parity Of money wages expressed in
terms of food purchasing power is
Britain, 100; Germany, IA; France, So;
Belgium, so. and Italy As. The dis
parity in cost per head of the popula-
ton for the five social services of I'M
employment. health, workmen's COM
pensation. old age pensions and poor
law relief was, a few years ago.:
Britain, 100; Germany 48; France, IL;
Belgium, Z, and Italy, 4.
U. S. Is Self-Supporting.
Any comparison between British
standards and those in the United
States must take account of the fact
that the United States, with its great
natural resources, is self-supporting
and does not depend upon its export
trade fer It's existence. Its real wage
level stands at 1885, but its taxation
level is little more than third of
the British, and, as it has not adopted
the policy of providing social services
for its workers other than workmen's
compensation. its expenditure per head
on such services Is negligible.
1t is idle to think that a country
like Britain. which depends on its ex-
port trade for its existence, can, in the
industrial world of today. continue to
set up and maintain standards of liv-
ing and public expenditure regardless
of those Ct it's competitors without pay
ing the price of employment 1t is
by pursuing that policy for 10 years
that the present serious situation has
arisen.
The superiority of British standards
dates from a time when the other
nations, now Britain's industrial COM
petitors, were in the early stages of
tbnir industrial devalOnment and whom
the British could afford to pursue their
own standards regardless of what COM
petitors did. That superiority was en-
joyed for so long that it came to be
accepted as a national prescriptive
right. and that traditional attitude
persisted even when Britain's COMPETE
tors with their lever standards steadily

overhauled the British in the contest
for world trade.
When 1t comes to remedies the en-
ployerS say 1t is realized that in the
present days of keen competition and
worldwide concentration on improved
methods. there is a greater call than
ever for ratio nalization in every in
dustry; but to look to naturalization
as remedy which can of itself enable
the British to overcome the disparity
between British costs and those of
Britain's competitors is to ignore the
essential fact that naturalization is as
much open to Britain's competitors as
it is to Britain. and to avoid facing
the fundamental disability which lies
at the root of the British industrial de-
preston and the whole unemployment
pre- blem in this country.
That fundamental disability. in the
view of the employers, is that while the
standards of Britains competitors are
at level which leaves little room for
reduction, Britain by setting up higher
standards and insisting on their main
tenance, has introduced into the costs
of production an element Of rigidity
which constitutes the main obstacle to
bringing these costs down to a point
where Britain can compete successfully
with the goods of other countries in
the worlds markets.
State intervention In industry has
made it impossible for industry itself
to remedy this rigidity IN costs OF pro-
duction, and specifically the complaints
against the state are: Maladjustment
diture and legislative restrictions on in
dustry.
Insurance System Supported.
In the matter OF wage levels the
employers complain that the state, by
fixing high rates of unemployment ben
eft and constantly relaxing the condi-
tions for the payment of 1t, by paying
grants to local authorities for distribu-
ton in wage rates higher than British
export industries can afford, and by
the extension of statutory fixing
machinery. has not only in large meas
ure determined the general standard of
wage levels. but has done so in such
way as to make it difficult, II not
impossible, for employers and workers
to rectify the EMBELLISHMENTS.
The employers have supported,
throughout, system of unemployment
insurance as part of the industrial
organization of the country, but only
on the principles and safeguards laid
down in the acts of 1911 and 1920. The
latter act has seen a score of amend
ments. by which successive governments
have yielded to the temptation of mis-
using the system in preference to
tackling the causes of the unemploy-
ment problem.
The progressive generalization of the
system has now for many years been
sapping the independence and enterprise
of the people, and by preventing trade
depression from acting as a corrective
factor in the adjustment Of wage levels
has been spreading, say the employers,
the very disease the system was in
tended to relieve.
The remedy suggested by the en-
ployers is dealt with in the next and
final article.

can, Of West Virginia, describing John
j. RaSkob as steadily increasing the
size of the mortgage he holds" on the
Democratic party.
will Hays, formerly chairman Of the
Republican National Committee" Shouse
said through the Democratic National
Committee. was a visitor at the White
House Friday.
"Mr. Hays, it will be recalled, was
the resourceful political executive who,
when the G. o. p had a deficit follow
ing the election of President Harding,
hijacked Harry Sinclair out of 5000, 900
or 100000 of the Continental Trading
Co. loot that was denounced by the Su-
preme Court as the proceeds of cor
poration created for some Legitimate
purpose and to circumvent the law
and defeat public policy
Shortly after Mr.. Hays conference
with President Hoover Friday, the Re-
publican National Committee issued a
statement under the pen name Of Sena-
tor Hatfield of West Virginia rejecting
on the loan of $4,000 by Democratic
Chairman Raskob to aid in financing
the Democratic National Committees
activities as evidence of the 1ortgag-
ing of the Democratic party to its
chairman.
Whether this statement was a con-
sequence of or a coincidence with the
closeting Of Mr.. Hays with President
Hoover. do not know But the I'M
Outstanding in newspaper circles, or at
least my information on that subject
comes from newspaper men. is that no
statement is issued from the Republic
can National Committee until 1t has the
definite o. K. of the White House."

If it did end by the recovery of Ger
many, this very recovery by reawaken-
ing French fears as to security might
lead to further ornaments on the part
of France and her allies. This is the
more likely because Germany already
demands equality of military strength
with France.
What has recently happened in the
case of the Franco Italian naval nego-
tiations is perhaps the best evidence
of what might happen in any confer
ence on disarmament. In nearly eight
months of travel I never encountered
continental statesman or diplimat
who did not look upon the projected
disarmament conference of February,
1882, with mingled cynicism and
anxiety: cynicism as to the direct con-
sequences, anxiety as to the probable
indirect effects.

viction that the world has sentenced
Germany to death, that the repare tons
clauses Of the peace treaty make Ger
many nation of slaves, and the mill
tary clauses deprive her of all posi-
bility of Self-dsfense.
German Credit at Stake.
If the economic crisis continues, Ger
many cannot go on paying PREPARATIONS.
But if she proclaims a moratorium her
credit is bound to suffer and the re-
suit is that she will have less chance
of obtaining abroad the loans neces-
sary to her economic existence, for
even If reparations payments cease, her
need OF long-term loans will continue.
Thus, in the last analysis, the ques-
ton of the cancellation of debts and
Of the abolition of reparations comes
down to the simple issue of the i'm
portance to the United States of the
recovery of Germany, not merely eco
nomically but politically and morally.
Our European allies of the war have
very adroitly transferred to Germany
the burden Of their debts to the United
States and to us the responsibility for
the continuation of German payments
They will let up on Germany precisely
to the measure we let up on them
They calculate and will continue to
calculate that our stake in Germany
through private loans is so great that
we shall presently become sufficiently
alarmed over that to agree to scrap
debts in order to abolish reparations
and thus save Germany.
In sum. no conclusion was more en-
phatically forced upon me during my
European trip than that at the present
moment the subject of disarmament
cannot be successfully raised and any
effort to press it may result in accentu-
ating the suspicion and bitterness now
existing. as the London Naval Confer
