DAILY EDITION Wednesday, September 23, 1942 EDITORIAL Price and Wage Control . . . As a result of Government control in the prices and wages fields, the Canadian worker in the present, war is much better off than in the struggle of 1914-1918. Comparative statistics now available tell the story. They make absolutely clear the beneficial effect of the control of prices and of wages under the government's wage control policy. In a period of a little over two years during the last war, the Cost of Living Index increased from a base of 100 in July, 1914, to 116.1 in October, 191G. During the corresponding period in the present war the Index increased from a base of 100 in August, 1939, to 114.6 in flptnViPV 1QJ.1 annvnvinmtolv nno.Vifjlf nf fViio inpronco , r .ij- i Index was 18.2 points, or nearly eight times as much as in the corresponding period , of the present war.

But in addition, wage rates generally have improved, in some cases materially, over those prevailing in the so-called prosperous years of 1926-1929. Workers, also quite generally, at least in' the more important industries in which the larger number of employees are engaged, during the present war have the further advantage under the Government's Wage Control policy, adopted as an essential Dart of the Wartimp PriVo T?pmi.

In other cases in which the bonus will not be as high ,as $4.25 per week it is because under the provisions of the Order the bonus must be calculated on the rise in the Cost of Living Index from the date of the last general increase in wage rates, which means that in such cases employees have received a general increase in their wage rates since August, 1939. All of which shows that for quite a few, Canadians it has been a very "easy war" so far.
