Training Gym for Boxers

The place is a bedlam, with
the thudding of fists, shutting
of feet and shaping of rope,
superimposed on the steady
blast from a radio turned on
full volume. From time to
time a huge man with a cigar
in his mouth looks at his
watch and yells, "Time!"-at
which point all the dancing,
shuffling figures cease or slow
down activity. A few minutes
later time" Is called again,
and the figures pick up again

for the present is to make it easier
for the British to export and more
difficult for the Americans to ex-
port. This will cut down American
production both for export and also
for the American market.
In 1948 we exported about $12,-
600,000,000 worth of goods and inn
ported $7,OO0,OO0,0O0 worth, the
difference being financed largely by
gifts from this country. The reduc-
ton of our tariffs which we have
promised to make, combined with
the cut in the price of British goods
resulting from devaluation, will
make a substantial cut in the
amount of American goods sold in
the American market.
1t is not unlikely that our total
production will be affected by
or 4 billion dollars altogether.
True, this is less than 2 per cent
of our total production of goods
and services, but it may have a
very serious effect on some in
dustries.
OUR policy is a contradictory
" one. We are doing everything
possible to assist the British to COM
pete with ourselves. Our Govern
ment believes that the welfare Of
Great Britain is so important to
the world that we can limit our
own production and employment, at
least temporarily. The British have
overdone devaluation. They have
gone so much further than anyone
expected that they have already
forced devaluation on other coun-
tries like France and Belgium,

amount to-would feel inclined
to come up with a superflous
cash fare.
Unless and until our labor
leaders are content to travel the
road of collective Bargaining
dealing directly with the en-
ployer on all matters affecting
the occupation-unionism as we
know it today will become dead
issue, thing of the past-because
there will be little, if anything,
left to bargain for.
If the government is to estab-
liSh itself as the sole bargaining
agent of the workers, as seems
to be the desire of so many of the
present crop of labor leaders, the
union will go broke and slip out
of the national picture-for the
very simple reason that the
workers will refuse to pay dues
for that which is already guar
anteed them, not by union con-
tract, if you please, but by law,
union or no union.
What the whole thing sums UP
to is this: Our union leaders, by
their over-enthusiasm for gov
ernmental interference with their
own legitimate affairs, are sim
ply digging their own graves.

no need exists for ticket-sellers

causing serious political and ccono-
mic difficulties for them. The
severe cut is bad for trade general
ly and may we'll do more harm than
good to the world situation.
DevaluatiOn, however, has other
effects. BY increasing the cost
of American grain imported into
England, the cost of living for
the British workman has increas-
ed. Bread will cost him 33l3 per
cent more. This means reduc-
ton in the standard of living of
the British workman unless he
gets higher wages.
Therefore, we see the demands of
many labor unions that wages be
increased to compensate, and it
seems likely that the British
Government must yield to those
demands regardless of Sir Stafford
Cripps. To the extent wages rise,
they will increase British costs and
nullify to some extent the 80 per
cent reduction of British prices
abroad.
ON the whole, / ana inclined to
" think that the effect of devalua-
tion is overestimated. In the past,
the varying results seem largely to
have nullified each other in time,
leaving the situation very little
changed from what it was. Ger
tainly it is no final solution for the
British problem, unless they are
willing to take substantial reduc
tion in the standard of living.
Their real problem arises from
the fact that their cost of produc-
ton is higher than it is here even
though the average wage of British
workmen is $23.47 compared to
$56.56 in America. Therefore, they
have not been able to compete in
any market where dollars are avail
able to buy American goods.
They cannot ultimately rectify
this situation unless they improve
their manufacturing methods, pro-
vide incentive and reward to pri-
vate industry to develop better
methods, better machinery, and
better products, and relax social
list controls. Otherwise, the time
will come when they will have
just as much difficulty to main-
tain the pound at $3.50 as they
had to maintain it at $4.03.
