+ My economic message from Australia for Cana-~

dlans Is much in this tradition. Discussions with — ,

Australian economists have revealed that the coun-
try is suffering from the same basic malady as
Canada. Wages are too high. As a result,

unemployment rates are expected to remain high |

spite of an economic recovery that is gaining
momentum.
» Australia’s unemployment problem iseven worse:

than that of Canada. In 1974 Australian unemploy- :

ment reached a new high of 2.6 per cent after it had
been below two per cent since the end of the war. In

September 1933, unemployment reached a peak of:

10.2 per cent. In turbulent years the unemployment .
* pate had risen by 400 per cent. In Canada during the :

bame period it had only doubled.
"Both Canada and Australia are major exporters
of natural resources. Both suffered from the recent

world-wide recession, which lowered the prices and 7 :

demand for these materials.

- Such recessions and cycles have happened before.

They have never been pleasant, but were con-.
sidered to be unavoldable, like the Jaws of nature.

- According to Australian economists, what mals.

dinary. magnitude, but alsa the events that preceded

“During the post-war years the power of organized

labor and the willingness of government to manage:

the economy have increased greatly. In 1979-1980 a
jiatural resource boom developed and was. an-
" flclpated to grow and last for a long time. These ex-

pectations led to demands for higher wages in an |.
ficipation of increased rents from the hatural -

resources. These demands were met, The domi
nant intellectural and polifleal slogan was and is,
“The resources belong to the people.” Higher
wages keep the rents away:from corporations and
thus assure their proper distribution. ‘ons
: Of course, as we know now, the resouréa

was small and short-lived. But wage rates | are
high for the new conditions. -

“The traditional methods for lowering, ‘yaoi

unions cannot be used ariymore. Devaluation of the
