TT doesn't require a professor of economics to Rive the reason why. Prior to the 1 war the Dominion's man-power was about 300,000. Out of this 112,500 the flower of the land, enlisted; 17,000 have paid the supreme sacrifice, and about 20000 permanently incapacitated, and the recent epidemic adds another 5,000, making the total 42,000; and, with no immigration, we will be handicapped for a year or so. And does not this also apply to the whole of the Empire ? . During the socond year ot the war. production of man's, requirements, was reduced materially, and our armies and munition workers had adopted *-* igher standard of living, and twice as much used in the shape of clothing, but* <jeat, butter cheese-jatts., etc.. which thousands upon thousands unfortunately were never accustdnStto prior to the war, and at the time the prices of those comdidn't pay for them, and the munition workers didn t feel flrstlnatance them to seeding employ ..nous wages paid. Now the war has is lad worker's wages, for argument aSte^a^-: Hia i m£32X£yq&SmmKm&W same status as during the war. The Empire's wheels of industry (with a tired people) are at a reduced speed for the want of raw materia, and the products of the land are about two years behind, and until they get back to normal, and With huge shortages as at present, the pinch will be felt. The workers rightly demand a higher standard of living, which creates a heawxiemand onfiroduetioA and until itis overtaken,. wOthJle Continent on the va*e. of starvation, tow 'can prices recede, tfthey do, wifetrntrat also, in a line with Japan and other Eastern countries'- This is a com p\ex r question. Profits are now taxed 7s 6din the £. For instance, an industrial concern with a working capital ..oi i£loo,ooo, paying 7 per cent., yielding £7 000, is taxed 7s 6d in the £, which hrings its earning power down to about iHptezent Who "would be worried about industry when War Bonds paying 4# per cent., free from taxation? This is the ouestfOjn to be considered for the salvation of the Dominion.
