The average industrial wvorker in Japan made, at iast report, about $12. How would CanadÀin workers react to a suggestion that their wage level shouldje brought dloser te the Japanese one? They would retet very strongly, and they would be right. Ca- dian wa-.ges cannot be equaled with Japanese wages, or with Brmitish wages or wiîth Peruvian wages. But neither can they be equaled with Amneriean wages. It is Just as rediculous to say that the sanie job ïfhouîd pay the saine wage iru Brantford and Baltimore,aso say that the ,amne job should pay the same wage in Toronto and Tokyo. The United States 15 a different country from Canada, oper- ating on a different economy, and working out its wage leveLs frowl n different set of factors. Most important of then isl the production facor.TheAmricn popl, ast year, produced about $2,40 worth of goods and services per capita. The corresponding figure for Canada was about $1,600û. How, under these circumistances, can Canada be paid the samne wages as Amnericans, or enjoy the saine standar~d of living? They cannot. Yet the agitation continues amnong Canadân trade unionists for wage parity with the U.S., and in Canadas steel industry may shortly tak-e the forni of a strike. After Algorm4 Steel Corporation emnployees at Sanît Ste. Marie had approved such action,' Mr. C. Hl. Millard, national director of the United Steel1 Worlkers, told theni: 1 feel that the action taken gives the execufve a mandate to go far as possible in closimg the gai) between, steel rates in Canada apd the ra.tes p.aid in the United,. States. b~ The "gap" Mr. MiillaTd speaks of is 1,31:, ents an hour-the diffLerenice betwýýeen the American steel bore se rate of $1.57 and the Canadian steel wovrker's one of $1.43 '/. There is another g-ap whichi Mr. M-villard neyer sp)eakaofth substantial gap between theý amount of steel pvoduced per year and per week b the two workers. The American, for a variety of reasons, produces miore than the Cana- diani; thus, he can be- as should be-paîd more highly. Wage levels in every couaitry nmust be detefmi-ned by the con- * ditions-aad only by thecodtnsestn in that country. Among the conditions we have iu Canada tý-oday are risiug unemployment, ialinig experts, and a generally lowver level of business. These things, h've comne about very largely because we have parsued false stand- ards of work andlfeMeia stanidar.ds, which are a very'weil for Americans, but which ýwe quite literally have not earned. We eaui çIi ure theni by getting back to realistie standrds, based on OUT on economic situation ou this contiiient and in this world. That situation does not require us to have e ther wage or pricoý piarity with the United States. On the contrary, it requires us toý comipete against the Amnericans, to undersell theni everywhere and lu. every way possib~le. If Canadian uions-so-calle -are making that impossible, if they are pricing our goods so high tat Amerloans ,vir the business, thea perhat>ts it is time to stand back and as], how G, arla- fiar these unions ireally are. /7/ §3~If4~ i nov.
