GETTINGTHE — MEASURE OF THINGS | You asked what [ thought about metrication | and I must say that I had completely forgotten ~ about. the request until the other day when somebody was: ‘showing me the metric equivalent of the Prime Minister's Salmon Arm . Salute in which the pinky finger rather than the middle finger is used to punctuate an expression of distaste. - ; _Metrication, as many. of you will remember, was.a program of the government designed, among other things, to make the output of Canadian_industry more compatible with the sizing required for. the penetration of metric markets, particularly these in Europe. At the Outset the idea was made even more attractive . by the fact that the United States was in the process of metrifying as well. ‘However, anum-- ber of things have changed, First of all, the hoped-for expansion of trade links with Europe has not materialized. Secon- dly, the United States itself-has abandoned the | “metrication: process. Viewed in that light: and with that measure) of detachment the metrication program appears as a mildly irritating. strategic error of aspects of the metrication issue which are of somewhat more importance although they are little discussed.. || The most important of these, in my view, is ihe exterit to which changing units of measure may distort inn 5s perception of commercial magnitude There is a widely-heid. belief: among: mer- chandizers,. for.example, that the average household consumer (that is, the person in the -household who. does most of the shopping) has a.sense of pricing in relation to quantity and, . therefore, as a fairly accurate idea of the nor- “mal price of products that might be included in a basic necessities market basket: The in- - troduction of ‘a different system of - | measurements affects this value perception in.a number of ways. It, first of all, changes the normal mix of product sizes and for an in- determinate period disrupts the notion of quan- tity. But it also. destroys. the.rule of thumb relationships which people develop. over a period of time that they use to calculate changes in value - rough calculations which are of some importance in comparison shopping, Of- course, the other thing that changing measures does is break .a continuity of cost con- sciousness, a phenomenon which is most ob- vious in the case of gasoline. I don’t know about you but Tstill have to convert litre prices | into-galion prices before ] know whether the service station is selling the product to me.at a discount or at a premium. While I certainly do not.’ agree “with those who find within the -metrication process ‘a plot to destabilize the “Canadian way- of life, it is certainly the case that a change in yalue or quantity reference points is bound to be to.some extent disorien- tating. ‘It is also true that governments are not neutral. with respect to sich reference point changes - something which is less Obvious in the. case of measurement systems than it isin the case of currency, At the moment, for example, Argentina is in the process of changing its currency, dropping four zeros and going, to.. what is described as-.the. ‘new Argentinian . . peso,” They aré doing so, purportedly to sim- plify accounting but they will also, of course, and not coincidentally, eradicate in one stroke of the pen the'constant: reminder of that coun: try’s disastrous economic policy.
