Condensed from The WaliStreet Journal Vermont Royster Great Britain s sick. Every- where you look the evidence abounds. The outward signs are a. pound sterlin that is not merely declining but plum- meting; industrial output steadily shrinking; a recent inflation rate of 27 per cent, unmatched by other major industrial powers. The inward signs are no less evident. With few exceptions, t e r tsi plant of Great Britain s industries is decre. pit; its steel mills and automobiles factories are try- ing to make do with outmoded and worn-out machinery. Few of its industries can compete either with its partners in the Common Market or with the outside world. With all this, the standard of living of its people is lower than that of comparable countries in Europe. nd it is a shrinking standard of living for all, peer and plowman alike. Time is running out evenon those in the powerful unions, who labor in protect- ed subsidized industries, It has already run out on the middle class-doctors, ac- countants, college professors, clerks, journalists,pcivil ser- vants, shopkeepers. it is all very curious. For Britaintas not been brought to this estate by defeat in war or by any natural disasters. BritainIs undoing is its own doing. It bas been brought to this largely by the policies of its government, and by the resigned acceptance of the people. Thus, Britain offers a model study in how to bring to ruin a once-vigorous nation. The formula is simple. You begin by putting upon a nation an economic burden it cannot bear. In Britain's case, it was an all-encompassing welfare program-including a free not only by the inflation arki on how to ruin a country.

This means either higher taxes or a resort to the government printing resses to create money or oth. The government-printed money cause inflation, which increases the cost of every- thing, incuding the welfare frogram, which in turn calls f or more printed money, accelerating the inflation. The ohi er taxes aretneeded not onlv to heIn nav the costs but to sop up the excesses of inflation. This becomes a vicious circle. Today, the ordinary income tax bits a 50 per cent rate around $15,000, rising steeply thereafter. Nor is this the end of taxation. There is a value-added tax (VAT, a kind of sales tax) levied on what you buy with what's left; it's eight per cent on nearly everything (except certain necessities), 25 per cent on man items. Again the infla- tion y increasing the price of goods, in effect aso increases the real cost of the VAT on every purchase. Then there are local taxes on property (paid by the occupant), whicb rose on the average more than 30 per cent last year alone. o one escapes. Those in strong labor unions who can demand wage increases of 30 per cent or more may have the illusion at first of keeping up. They rarely do, because they enter new tax brackets and' because, as happened last spring, the government raises VAT rates on certain items to offset the wage raises. The hourly-wage earner gains lit- tle from working harder, and so he doesn't. Hence, while wages in Britain are below those of North America, the actual wage costs are higher. Meanwhile, the middle class is bein effectively destroyed not onf y by the inflation ana NEWS. Mrs. Gary Groeneveld.

But one thing I won't gamble on is my future. The stakes are just too high. That's why I started looking into retirement savings plans, and I found out they're not al]alike. t Britain steeply progressive taxes but by contiscatory taxes wnen- ever capital is transferred, by inheritance or otherwise and the threat of an outright wealth" tax. The latter would not be a tax on what you earn or spend but a capital levy on what you have le ft-if anything. The economic effects of this are far-reaching. Those who would normal y save and invest in British industry are squeezed at both ends. It is harder and harder for thegi to save; and if they do, they are discouraged from investing because of the penalty tax on investment income, which climbs to 98 per cent. The consequence is that Tony Benn, the erstwhile industry minister, could say- and uite accurately-th at Britisv industry is starving for want of capital. The solution DroDosed is the injection of public funds. But this, in turn, adds to the pressure tor more taxes or more inflation. Spend and spend, tax and tax, inflate an inflate. Its a clear formula not only for wrecking an economy, but also for assuring that out of the wreckage comes a total socialist state. Reduce people to the point where they cannot care for their own needs, and the state must. Reduce indus- try to the point where it cannot provide itstown capital and the state must. Perhaps this is exactly what is intended by the militant union leaders, some of whom are avowed Marxists, and by, the leftish intellectuals of the Labor Party. Certainly some British unions are wildly irresponsible, ignoring agreements, striking at whim, b ackmailing the country. Certainly, many in the Labor Party advocate an ypolicy to achieve a completely socialist Britain. But, intended or not, Britain today offers a textbook case on how to ruin a country.

The one that made the difference for me is the Toronto Dominion Retirement Savings Deposit. It has all the benefits of a bank depo sit built right in and is not subject to stock market fluctuations. I can put money into it whenever 1 want, my interest is compounded twice yearly, and as long as it stays in the plan, it's tax free. The TD RSD earns a higher interest rate than a savings'account, and, if I move, my RSD moves with me, to any of the TD branches across Canada.

Whether t is some mysterious old social custom or a magical spell of the classics, a ticket to hear music over a hundred years old requires your body to be draped in something special and your nose to tilt into the air high enough to get a crick in vour neck. Ah this raisesthe question- Was Mozart morose?" "Does Teshaikovsky equal tuxedo? "Was Beethoven a bore?" Who knows, but you'd certainly think that they'd at least want the people who are listening and playing their music to show some outward signs of enjoyment to be doing so.
