THE TASK AHEAD
Nearly 40 million people
are unemployed in the
Western World, including
about one and a half million
Canadians. Few are willing
to forecast much improve-
ment over the next five
ygars. Yet the task ahead
must be to find some way to
reduce unemployment.
Strategies for lowering the
jobless figures are quite
similar in many nations.
They start from the premise
that the best way to "cure"
unemployment is to choke
off the supply of labor,

primarily ks' shorter hours
or forced retirement.
Attempts to ,,,,reduce the
supply of labor by s'hariyig
work in one way or another
will entail lower /per capita
incomes and sluggish
growth.
It is much more important
to focus on ways to boost'em-
ployment. These must in-
clude measures to sweep
aside restrictions and regu-,
lations which inhibit market
forces and to encourage
greater flexibility among
employers and employees.
Overall government policy
must be geared to sustain a
reasonable growth of
demand. Governments seem
to have all but forgotten that
they can decisively influence
real growth by adjusting the
gap between expenditures
and revenues. in North'
America budget deficits al-
ready are at a stratospheric
levels, sp there is little room
for us to expand outlays to
stimulate activity. Rather,
we must concentrate on in-
creasing demand by re-
structuring our economy.
Greater emphasis must be
given to stimulating exports,

For instance if the farm

fewer imports of food items,

Other nations, particularly
in Western Europe, should
change their fiscal policies.
In Britain the adjusted
structural budget was in
surplus to the tune of 1.8 per
cent of Gross Domestic
Product in 1984. In West
Germany, the surplus is just
under one per cent of GDP.
Fiscal relaxation every-
where in Western Europe
would create more Jobs over
the next couple of years. In
the long haul other steps
must be taken to ensure that
wage moderation continues
Otherwise, the increased
demand would be translated
all too quickly into more in-
flation, wages which would
price many concerns out of
the market, and, then again,
more unemployment.
The answer, even for those
who strongly support market
mechanisms, must be some-
thing other than wage re-
straint or even an incomes
limitation policy. Every-
where we should adapt the
Japanese strategy of wage
bonuses at the yearend. If a
company were successful
and profitable, wage bonuses
could be distributed. Yet
high fixed costs would -not be
put in place which would be a
burdento the economy. Col-
lective action is necessary to
implement such a program,
but plaintive calls for
voluntary wage restraint or
mindless hand wringing

CONSUMING
RATIONS
A group of American clin-
ical ecologists claim that
many common ailments -
such as migraine, eczema,
fatigue and depression -
can be caused by food aller-
gies. They also believe that
finding the source of the al-
lergies can lead to a cure.
For many years the med-
ical establishment ridiculed
this idea, but it is fast gain-
ing credibility. "The Food
Allergy War" examines the
latest research, which vindi-
cates the earlier claims of
clincial ecologists in the
1950s. Scientists now agree
that some common foods
such as milk, eggs, corn and
wheat are responsible for a
range of conditions from
hyperactivity to irritable
bowels. The possible cures
that exist for many of these
conditions are regarded as
complete quackery by some
physicians.
