On the other hand, they prebably feel that as long as direct local taxation is going to be used as the principal reason for. failing to give financial recognition, their organization is forced to use any lever. The Present If this is their reasoning, though, we see no reason why it shouldn’t be stated openly. The verbal dodging that was done on the local platform last Friday on the issues of blacklisting and boycotting the principle of abitration did nothing to influence the public mind in favor of the teachers. going a similar experience, only The current issue of Newsweek ness editor, Henry Hazlitt, “Buying Unemploy- ment,” which is worthy of care- ful study. Mr. Hazlitt points out there is a real danger of the present recession ‘Ieing pro- longed and inténgif, of the proposals put forward to cure it, such as bigger unem- ployment compensation _for longer periods, or the payment of still higher wage rates. Ad- jvocates of larger unemployment benefits argue that when there is unemployment, this edmpensa- tion helps to maintain consumer purchasing power. So the re- cession tends to automatically rectify itself. A Suggestion About’A Door If the vijlagze councillors could spare a moment Trony considering the weightler matters éf civic 4dmin- istration, we ‘would like to proffer a suggestion con- cerning a door. Last summer, when parking meters were in- stalled on the town streets, a system of “ Violation ” envelopes was also inaugurated. If the meter policeman finds you overparked, repeat metering or Violating any of several parking regulations, he places a small envelope on your windshield. This envelope gives the information on the reason for the “ticket ” and also informs you that, if you want to settle the question out of court, you can place your $2 inside, seal the flap and send it to the village office. (Address clearly printed on reverse). What this beguiling theory overlooks is that the payment of over-generous benefits may it- self encourage - unemployment and prolong it. These act in the labor field somewhat like the price-support program in agri- culture. Just as the farmer can over-price his crops as long as the government stands ready to buy and store whatever unsold surplus the excessive _ price creates so can unions more easily over-price labor the more gene- rous the government plan is to finance whatever unemployment an excessive wage-rate creates. Last month, when the United Auto Workers’ delegates voted to ask the Chrysler Corporation to re-establish a 44-hour week In Williams Lake, it is just as easy, though, to present the envelope at the village office, since this building is across the street from the post office. The other day we watched a visitor attempting to do this after hours. — He tried to push the envelope under the office door several] times, but the crack wasn’t wide enough. His next thought was to mail it, but the Post office was closed and he didn’t have a stamp. At this point, we offered to take charge of the envelope and deliver it to the office the next day. Although he didn’t know it, this alternative was not too reassuring. We have been known, for example, to completely forget where we have parked our car, In the light of this, forgetting another person’s park- 6 | Al NACIVE BELLE of DAKAR IS NEVER, Economic Slump This country is Presently undergoing a levelling-off process: a recession or an out and out depression dependent upon the political stripe of the person doing the talk- ing.
