"The answer to your silly question
is that if the workers in Canada did
three times as much work as they
do now we'd have three times as
much unemployment, , . . Get some
sense into your head man! This is
the country we throw apples in
lakes, bury tons of potatoes, etc. We
have no problems of production, we
maintain artificial scarcity to keep
prices up!"
He over-states his problem. In 1926
we produced manufactured goods val-
ued at $3,100,604,637. Direct factory
labor received $625,682,242 for its
services. There was also labor
in the raw materials, freight,
insurance, the construction of plant
and equipment etc. The total labor
involved, direct and indirect, would be
over 83 per cent o fthe value of the
product produced.
In 1933 we were in the midst of hard
times. Gross value of production in
manufacturing was $1,954,075,785. The
cost of materials amounted to $966,-
788,928, salaries and wages totalled
$436,247,824. Here is a case in which
my friend's theory does not work. Pro-
duction has been substantially re-
duced. Why didn't it work? That is
for him to answer. His pet theory
was applied in 1933 but conditions
were worse, not better.
Now let us come back to the bricks
mentioned above. Let us apply his
logic to that situation and ask him
this question: Would an increase in
the cost of laying bricks brought

The Problem of
'Unemployment
By R. J. DEACHIVIAN
I received today a postcard unsigned
in answer to 'a letter I sent out some
time ago dealing' with the question of
bricklaying. A bricklayer in Holland
lays 1500 bricks in a day, in Canada
he lays 500. I asked this question: In
which country would you rather live
-the country where the worker lays
1500 bricks or the one where he lays
500, This is what my unsigned friend
answers:
The cost of building is now very
high. What would happen if all work-
ers - not only the bricklayers but,
all the workers worked at a third of'
their capacity, laid 500 bricks instead -•
of 1500 - or the equivalent in other •
My unknown correspondent claims
there is now no problem of production.
There is, however, a very real, a much
greater problem - production, at a
price, within the capacity of the con-
sumer to pay. Is that solved by the
bricklayer laying 500 bricks when he
has. the capacity to lay 1500? If ev-
ery other worker employed the same
tactics wouldn't the cost of housing
be increased and the number of men

The writer of the postcard I e-

"If the workers in Canada did
three times as much work as they
do now ,we would haye three times
as much unemployment."
This statement scarcely deserves an.
answer, If the workers produced three
times as much they would earn three
times as much, The national income
and national spending power 100.uld
be multiplied by three, Does. our friend
believe that we would be choked to
death by our new abundance?
