PUBLIC NOTICES. TO-DAY'S ECONOMICS. (BY THE N.Z. WELFARE LEAGUE.) THE "GO-SLOW" POLICY. What is the "Go-Slow" policy? It is the practice by which some men do less ihnn a fair day's work, while demanding a fair day's pay, thus restricting the. output of industry. Ts it widely practised ? Yes, and openly. Why is il adopted? Becauso the men think that, if they work harder it will put more wealth into the- pockets of the employers. Will it? Yes, in the first instance Hie eslra wealth will p;o into the porket. of Hie employer, because the whole flow of wealth must pass through his hands-but it will not jtop there. Where will it fro? Its will be invested, because men mu.-t either let their wealth lie idle, or invest it either in their own or somebody else's businesf. What will be (lie result of this? There will be three main results: (i) There will be more capital looking for investment, therefore interest votes will fall, (ii) Ascnpi- ' tal can be used productively oulv in conjunction with labour, there will be a creator demand for labour; therefore wases will rise, (iii) As there will bo a greater volume of commodities produced their price will fall, lowering the cost of living. Why do these results follow? By virtue of the Law of Supply and Demand as applied to Capital, Labour, and Commodities. Wliat. then, is the economic effect of the "Go-Slow" policy? To raise interest rates, lower wages, and increase the cost of living.' ■ What limits the income of every citizen and the vase of every worker ? The aggregate wealth produced, which is lessened by Hie operation of the "Go-Slow" policy. What would be tho effect, on th© workers if the "Go-Slow" pelicy were abandoned? Wages would rise and cost of living would fall. What class of Hie community suffers most from (lie operation of the "Go-Slow" policy? The worker. The Capitalist, can protect himself by higher interest rates, and does not feel the increased cost of living (o the same extent as the wage l 'man.
