Two nicely garbed ladies, strang-

along an Ell Centro street one day

They paused and locked around.
Then one lady was heard to say to
her companion:

The attendant sorted out the

one side or the other who after all are

say on behalf Of the Government that
we have no intention Of light -heart"dly
abandoning the system, or undermining
it."
One additional reason the Lord Chan
cellor gave for maintaining the system
was that it would help British industry
to get t Trough not only present
anxieties and struggles, but the period
Of real industrial difficulty which will
come after the war. Il must say" the
Lord Chancellor declared, that think
il takes Il bold man light hea rtedly TO
talk of shelving all this immense in
dustrial machinery when its authority
will be needed so nightly when we
come to the real difficulties after the
war"
This restatement of the Govern
ments wage policy is strictly in ac-
cord with its earlier declaration, made
in the middle of 1911, which explicitly
laid down the principle that the vari-
Gus voluntary organizations of EN-
| plOyerS and workers, and the wage
| tribunals which have come into exist
ence to supplement the ordinary ma

! be left free to reach their decisions in
accordance with their own estimate of
the relevant facts. In the Governments :
White Paper, entitled Price Stabiliza-
ton and Industrial Policy, which EN-
bodied the Governments wage policy
in 1941, this statement was made:
"Since the outbreak of war. the
existing joint voluntary machinery for
wage negotiation has operated sue
ceSSfully. Increases in wage rates have
unions in the day to day adjustment
of wages and conditions has been main
tained; the freedom Of opportunity TO
make claims and to have them dis
culssed has enabled industrial peace to
be maintained.'
The Governments re-afirmation of
its wage policy was made by the Lord
Chancellor with Il clear understanding
of the dangerous possibilities of intla-
ton. The Lord Chancellor refused To
admit that wage increases have led To
| initiation. The statistical evidence indi-
Gates. he. said, that we have been able
in Britain to hold the increase in the
wages bill up-tO-date without any Signi-
ticant indication of what might reason
ably be called imitation. That result is
due, in part, TO the rigorous control
over prices and the distribution of com
modities, and in part to the effects of
taxation and the voluntary saving.
movement. 1t is not the acquisition OF
power to spend which creates inhation
the Lord Chancellor said, it is the ac-
tual spending. The purchase tax the
income tax, the national savings move
ment and other restrictions, have re,
duced the impact of increasing wages
on reduced supplies. Without compla.
cency the Lord Chancellor claimed thai
in Britain the imitation problem has
been handled with boldneSS and skill.
