Swankey is an author, . economist, “newsletter editor and union researcher,» He analysed the current economic crisis and offered an eight-point solution. Since -1925.:when Canada- became: ‘industrialized there has been‘ a similar - crisis every seven to 10 -years with the worst. example. being the: “hungry . thirties,” Swankey. said. He ‘traced’ the’..basic ‘cause’ to . overproduction, not in terms of. what ig . needed, but rather what can be purchased, competition in the marketplace” this. is, happéning at a much-slower rate. ~. There will be chronic unemployment on: a continuing basis no matter what happens to the profit margin: figures, Swankey affirmed. He stated that no ‘economic forecast ever mentions an increase in the. . number of jobs: and technological change means that tens of thousands will not work in their trades again.” Other factors will'stay the sameé‘or get | -worse, Inflation‘is now a fact of life. The . world-wide monetary crisis will continue, - as will the growing inlernstional debts ° assumed by many nations. Turning specifically to ’ British Columbia,. Swankey said ‘this is an’ “extracting province” that depends: almost entirely. on the forestry. and mining: industries which in turn\is dependent on foreign markets. When those : markets ; drop, there is nothing B.C, can do except -wait for them to improve, he said, “There °° is a high degree of monopoly control - big” and foreign control - vIn the B.C. economy,” 7 Swankey. ‘added... ..-This- means . the ’ provincial econothy serves not B.C.’ers, " OTTAWA (CP) — Figures released today show. a slight increase in:the jobless rate ‘in February. do 12:5 per ‘cent | of the work force or 1,595, 000 - showing \- increased in: “February, remained steady in January: © and increased in December, .
