that WOrk is devoted to iCar
purposes. and only fire
hours to the production of
peaeetime goods and ciUit-

eight hours wages to be
spent on the product Of flee
hours labor.
wherefore, unless some
thing is done to channel
back the w0ges for the

going to be such a disparity
between purchasing poWer
