Williairs' Medicine- Co., Brockville, Grit, HENRY FORD'S REMEDY FOR UNREST Americans have a very] important lesson to° • learn from the idisappoint- ent which the English people felt upon hearing -Lloyd George's recon- struction speech.. This ishan had so :marvelously led them thro gh all the emergencies of war: had met with such conquering 'initiative Il the sud- den and fatal problems -hich were thrust upon him,"that whe ,cit came to the great task of -reconst meting the life of the- nation the peop e expected' that he would open a magic box and announce a new formula o progress. Of course he could riot do that. No man could. - All that Lloy George had to tell the British peopl. , and all -that any sound leader can- tell his people, is simply this: the on y magic we can rely upon in these ini.es is Work.. The only reconstruct i n force is Work. The only cure or the troubles that are vexing the United States to -day is Work. We of the United States are in very much the same position .s th people - •of Great Britain, at least in ur ex- pectancy that some remedy outside, -of our individual responsibility may be :farms' for the high cost of livimg, the scarcity of houses, the decreasd sup-. ply of raw materials and ali tlje other hindrances to a full and free 4evelop- mert of our energies and. industries: 'ome eople have advised a wholesale reduction of wages. But that will not do it either—unless you mean by n'prices" a criminal profiteering ire the necessities of life. All high prices :are not profiteering. Indeed, good prices is one of the signs and, proofs -of good tunes all round. Some people have advised the utter destruc- tion of our • present methods and the :adoption of strange schemes which have never worked and never will, at least as long as human_ nature re- mnains what it is. Indeed, the air is full of counsel to- day, inconsistent, confusing, imprac- ticable; and every. doctrine which in ordinary tirnes would be thrust aside as preposterous is nowadays seriously ,considered as if it were a neglected pearl a wisdom. Now, the whol$ trouble .to -day is just a lack of things -to use: A shortage of food to eat; a shortage of houses to live in; a scar- city cif coal; a shortage of materials which may be worked up into articles of use and commerce; a scarcity of almost anything you - care to name. And what is the remedy.for any short- age of articles that can be ?Wade by the hands of man? Why, the answer is so simple that it seems frivolous even to make it. And yet in that answer lies all that the United States and the works needs to know for re= construction. The answer is this: the lab; r of man can fill up any lack Of those things which the labor of man produces. . There is no'. scarcity (YE icon. There is only a scarcity of rosre who believe that Work is a patriotic duty now as it vas during the war. There is no scarcity of lance. There is only a slump in the prcductivenese of labor. Even for tint higher wages, which it has a right to receive, labor is not producing as mu( -h as it did for lover wages.. It would he easy just at thisa point to steer this discussion off into- side_ is- sues. Any number of matters may be brought up, principally 'questions of last industrial dispute. We used to say, "Weide/will win the nem." Well. it is true now that Work will save the country.. Wages must be ker't as hig'h as possible. In many branches of industry wages' ought to be increased forthwith. It. is utterly feelieh to think that a reduction of wages would be followed by a reduc- tion of prices, because only an increase f'reduction can bring a decrease in prices, and a reduction of wages is t,re of the surest methods of prevent- ing- an increase in production. Men must be paid to work, they must be stir:}elated. to work, and more than that they must be shown that to -day the country's whole welfare rests on their working. Men Will not work with .a will if they believe that all their effort is merely going to increase the dividends of idle stockholders or the private. fortunes • of men already too ,rich for the good of society. But would they not work With a will if they knew that the country depended on their production.? This appeal -to patriotism cuts both ways. The employer who puts a damper on production by talking as if, his employees and never himself should bear the b den of cuts in prices, is not a patriot. His duty is to stimulate production and the one way this can be done is to make it Ewell worth while for the producer. The workingman hirnself must get rid of some very dangerous notions— dangerous, that is, to -the welfare of the country. It is sometimes said that* the less a worker does the more jobs ' he creates for other nen. The fallacy is that it assumes that idleness is creative. Idleness never 'created a job. It always creates burdens and only burdens. The industrious man never runs his fellow -worker out of a job; indeed, itis the industrious man who •is partner of the industrious man- ager who, creates more and more bus iness and therefore more and inure jobs. We cannot play fast and loose with economic laws, because if we do, they,. mishandle us . in very hard ways. It is a fact in the United States at this. time, that man- for man, we are not .l producing what we did for aevera1 years previous to the war, not to men- tion the speed-up of producti-on that occurred during the war. This niay be l;art'.y-accounted for by the natural relaxation which follows a long period of strain. But the relaxation has last ed pretty long now, so long that • the t United -States is more pinched re— garding e garding • supplies and prices to -day. than it was at the height of the war scarcity. Why should we be suffering more ._ now thee. we did then? Simply be- - cause we are not making enough of the article of livlihood, that is why. And the remedy for scarcity is equal- ly simple; it may be given in one word —production. And production itself may be reduced to a still simpler word 'vlork. And there you have the cause and the cu%e of a situation which has startled every man by its acute Less. Surely our country is as dear to us nowas it was in 191-7 and 19,18.' And it is a question of alar: country. You may inject "capital and labor," "the social question.," "the industrial' problem," into the discussion -as much as you please, it still remains • a ques- tion of Our Country. For..while we are w asting_ time on those issues the Country and every individual in it is . suffering. The same kind of patriot- ism that won the war—patriotism with its shoulder daily to the wheel—will win us deliverance. from this`'danger also. ; -The annual election . of ofacers' took place at' the meeting of the Menesetung Canoe Club.
