Despite

The
answer
to
the
first
was
easy,
but
the
answer
to
the
second
was,
and
still
is,
somewhat
beclouded.
The
chicken

egg
riddle
can
be
brought
up
to
date
in
these
postwar
years
and
it
would
read
like
this:
"Which

first,
the

increase
or
the
wage
increase?"
It
is
a
question
that
is
not

for
children
and
even

adults
who

argue
it

the
discussion.
Like

and
the
egg,
you
can't
have
a
wage
increase
without
a
price
increase
and
vice
versa
!
Management
granting
a
wage

is
forced
to
increase
the
price
of
its
product
to
the
consumer
and
who
is
the
consumer
but
the
chap
who
just
got
the
wage
increase?
This
chap,
in
turn,
argues
that
the
price
increase
originally
came
first
and
he
and
his
union
go
after
another
wage

The

Yes,
wage
increases
and
price
increases
are
absolutely
inseparable,
but
if
you
stop
and
think
a
minute
you
must
realize
that
there
is
a
solution,
an
all-powerful
remedy
to
this
spiral
of
inflation.
If
production
per
man-hour
increases
first,
then
a
wage
increase
is
in
order,
because
increased
production
wil
stabilize
prices.
The
goods
will
be
there
for
the

money
to
buy.
But
if
production
does
not
increase,
it
simply
means
that
the

money
in
the
consumer's
pocket
will
be
chasing
a
