UC minister favors guaranteed annual income The man the United Church has appointed to head up its concern with poverty believes implementation of a. Guaran- teed Annual Income plan to be inevitable. Rev. Robert Lindsey, associate secretary of the Division of Mission in Canada, reasons that as automation continues to eliminate jobs, full employment will become almost impossible to maintain. Unless a totalitarian program is set up,' with people being obliged one way or another to fill government - created jobs, some sort of overall income will have to be established, Mr. Lindsey foresees. The beginnings of the Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI) exist, he notes. Unem- ployment insurance, welfare, old age pensions and family allowances — now being in- creased are a start. Medicare, public education and price controls are other elements of a GAI system. He predicts that schemes Aid) as LIP (Local Initiative Program) will be continued and increased. - "This is because LIP grants go to people whose work is not directed toward sales and con- sumption, but rather in 'the building up of neighbourhoods and nationhood, in the building of . the world itself.

Essentially there are three directions modern society can take in distributing society's wealth, in Mr. 'tindsey view: GAI, Marxism or Fascism. The GAI would be as revolutionary as the other two, that it would involve a tremendous "freeing up" of society. Many people would work harder than they do now, he believes, because they would be doing what they liked rather than what they had to do. And those who wouldn't be working? "Maybe the world would be better if some people were idle rather than working at certain kinds of work."
