Marvin, economist for the Royal Bank. In Canada, although it is still serious, there is excellent basis for the belief that within a relatively short time any abnormal volume of unemployment will disappear. In many countries, however, where large scale government works, huge expenditures upon armaments, large armies and various types of concentration camps serve to disguise the importance of the problem, many seriously question whether the economic system will ever absorb a satisfactory proportion of those who are able to work. For this situation there are a number of explanations ranging from the Marxist doctrine, through various statements concerning tecnological advances in industry, or theories like Social Credit involving a belief in the net inadequacy of purchasing power, to clear-cut economic descriptions of the effect of deflation upon consumption and hence upon employment. In a general way it may not be untrue that even the weakest of these explanations contains some elements of true description of what has taken place. Lack of perspective in relation to the problem as a whole and lack of knowledge of affairs results in such bias as to make it seem possible that a single relatively simple cure such as that offered by Social Credit' will constitute a remedy for most of our social and economic ills. In thinking about the problem it should not be forgotten that it is not entirely new to this generation. Plans as deceptively attractive as Social Credit have been tried out in the past; they have proved to be forms of inflation and the conditions thus created have been worse than those they sought to cure. In the light of subsequent experience, the outcome of the French experiment with assignats would appear inevitable, but at the time thev seemed to offer full employment and a general increase in purchasing power a higher standard of Jiving for the country. It would almost seem as though it were in the economic field alone that mankind is incapable of profiting by the experience of the past. In almost every country there are at the present moment unemployed workers, non-utilized resources ana idle money which should be put to productive use. Many conventionally minded business men and old-school economists hold the opinion that the fact that this labor, land and capital'are not in use proves that they cannot be effectively utilized and for them this ends the matter; Nationalistic doctrine goes a step further and attempts to restrict the home market to products produced within the country, with the half-stated hope that the relative ineffectiveness of some of the types of work which will result from failing to take advantage of the cheapest market, will produce full employment at home. Work on armaments or the expansion of armies are other forms of re striction of production and should be recognized as such. Plans for the five or six-hour dav and other devices to limit the worker's daily output fall in this same class. It is remarkable how many devices are available for limita tion of output. By such methods the world dissipates its great economic surplus and prevents that almost imvi table rise in the standard of livintr which became nrob able when the world passed over from a deficit economy to one where an increasing supply of economic goods couia oe made available to every member of society. Before modern means of production, transnortation and storage, a man's work frequently failed to produce a sufficient volume of goods to give him a decent stan dard ot living. 1 here was a time when it seemed normal for a certain proportion of the world's population to! starve to death each year. Out of such conditions came the Malthusian theory that population would always increase to the point where starvation was the necessary check upon expansion. At the time of greatest advances in methods of production, however, population ceased to increase rapidly and the extra volume of production pro-.1., i i i . i v uuceu au great a surplus, as cumpareu wnn previous experience, that in most parts of the world the last four generations have witnessed a remarkable rise in the standard, of living. This rise, however, has been accompanied by increasingly severe depressions, during which expansion in production has been brought to a standstill. After discussing the question of depressions, Mr. "Mar- vin says: ine tinanciai world should be able to reduce . the severity of depression. Of this we have little doubt. Wise, far-sip-htcd monetary control can prevent severe depressions. There will continue to be readjustments after over-expansion, and there will also be far-reaching . -At.'L i : it 11. ; ... uujusuwnui in ecuiiuwic lue as wie resmi qi new inven The Letter Box TREATMENT OF INDIANS j Editor, Daily Nes: Lend me your ears. I'll return them when the depression Is over.' Why are so many losing faith in : the various governments of our: fair country? The following are some of the reasons: When an Indian proves that he hasn't got a cent, and if he Is married, he will receive from four to nine dollars per month in relief, but if he or she is single, relief cannot, be granted. A blind Indian person, or an Indian too. old to work, with no relatives, receives four dollars per month in pension. ;ClviJlzation was forced upon the Indians. We are even forbidden by law to practice the ways of our ancestor.;. So successful have our governments been in teaching us a new mode of living that we, the present generation, can't prepare or even eat the foods of our forefathers. Alas! We have also recently learned that depressions too) come with the luxuries of civilization. Now how are we going to ,live on four dollars per month, even if we get it? In the year 1927 the Allied Tribes of British Columbia were informed by the special joint committee that the Indian Agents are all instructed to take care of the Indian destitutes. Yet the Indian Agents deny that they have received such in structions. honorable members of Parliament, or the Indian Agents of British Columbia? I am personally acquainted with two Indian Agents who have the welfare of Indians at heart; one of them is so disappointed with the Indian Department that he said he would resign if no changes are made to ease the deplorable conditions forced upon the Indians. Hooray for the Indian Agents! Now who do you suspect of lying? IVAN ADAMS. I Man in the Moon Good Day. Have you dug out yet?
