The weeks ahead will find plenty of platforms andi promises presented. It is. your priv- ilege to sift flot only from the campaign material but from performance over years previous who can best serve Canada in the years immedlateiy ahead. It will not be a task for a snap decision on your part. The big thing ta, remember is the size of the task before those whom you send to represent you.

"Only by boosting wages," he says, "can we create the great- er purchasing power needed ta balance ourgreater productive power." And he adds, a shorter work week i; necessary ta "provide job opportunities." Mr. Reuther is expert at making nonsense sound plausible. He knows that a gooci many people will respond favorably ta the idea of more pay for less work. And he makes it appear as if demanding more pay for les; work would achieve economiîc miracles andi somehow create new job opportunities. There is a way for making it possible for people ta earn more pay and at the rome time enjoy more leisure.

When Mr. Iteuther suggests that a shorter work week is necessary to provide' more job opportunities, what he is really saying is that a "share-the-wark," program should be adopteci and that mare people should be employeci ta get the same amount of work done. No increase in the supply of the good things of life can result from merely dividing up the available jobs in this way. As for boosting wages ta increase purchasing power, this is just another economnic fallacy which serves ta lenci the color of social justice ta wage demands contemplated by Mr. Reuther and other union leaders. The only real way ta increase purchasing power is through new and better toals that mak-e it possible for more of the good things of life ta be produceci at less cost. valuable resources, it might be able to support an artificially createci price level. "No gôvernment in :history has yet been able ta afford this. To support prices at any guaranteed level, government or any other business, bas ta have some con- trol over production and marketing.
