"The only thing we learn
from history is that we do not
learn from history."
Cannot recall where that
quote came from... Winston
Churchill perhaps?
But we are apparently go-
ing down the same path
again: wage and price con-
trols. For 40 centuries,
historians have been saying
that the plan to control rising
prices failed utterly. The laws
were repealed because no one
paid attention to them.
More than 4,000 years ago,
the Code of Hammurabi in
Babylon imposed a rigid
system of controls over wages
and prices. In ancient Egypt,
government controls over the
grain crop led gradually to
ownership of all the land by
the state.
In China, Greece and Rome
various kinds of regulations
over the economy were tried
and usually failed or produc-
ed harmful effects. It has
been said by better historians
than I am that the city of Ant-
werp fell to the Spanish in the
Middle Ages because no one
would risk bringing food to
the city if market prices were
not paid when the merchant
got past the Spanish guns.
In 1793, the revoluntionary
government.of France tried
everything passible to impose
wage and price controls. The
result was predictable: a
large black market blossom-
ed. Those who know
American history are aware
of the attempts made in the
English colonies to limit the
price of beaverskins.
Washington's army almost
starved at Valley Forge
largely due to "that improvi-
dent Act for limiting prices
which has done great injury,"
to quote John Adams.
As far as I have been able
to ascertain, no nation
whether democratic or dic-
tatorial, monarchy or
republic, has managed to
make wage and price controls
work.
Unfortunately, what usual-
ly happens is that the controls
become effective only for
e foot in the
rrow'W.,
L•tWr• ar. ppi.c.•Nd by Bob Trotter ISSN, IW (Imes Onl
wages. Prices continue to
rise. No mystery surrounds
the fact that labor unions
simply do not want such con-
trols. History has taught labor
leaders that such measures
end up controlling only
wages.
It is being called voluntary
restraint by Prime Minister
Trudeau and the minister of
finance. To those who have
lived through several periods
of wage and price controls,
the voluntary aspect is just a
prelude to the real thing:
mandatory legislation.
While a prisoner of war in
1946, Hermann Goering was
quoted as saying: "You
(America with wage and
price controls) are trying to
control people's lives. And no
country can do that part way.
I tried and failed. Nor can a
country do it all the way. I
tried that, too, and it failed. I
should think your economists
would read what happened
here (in Germany)...
"Will it be, as it always had
been, that countries will not
Nis 2C7
learn from the mistakes of
others and will continue to
make the mistakes of others
all over, again and again?"
Voluntary restraint? What
is voluntary about being told
by Big Brother: Hey, fella!
You want money from me, a
grant or a loan? Then, you'd
better shape up to our six per
cent or you will not get your
loan.
It is like the little boy say-
ing that you play by his rules
or he will take his bowling
balls and go home.
Canadian economist W.C.
Clark says: "The policy of fix-
ing maximum prices... fails to
accomplish the objectives
sought. it incurs a multitude
of unforeseen consequences
which are frequently worse
than the original evils."
"The only thing we learn
from history is that we do not
learn from history."
I do not know what the solu-
tion to inflation is but me
thinks the imposition of wage
and price controls is not the
answer.

Contract heifer raising
What to pay ter having
dairy heifers raised? Increas-
ed specialization has caused
some dairymen to consider
the possibility of someone else
raising their herd
replacements.
In cases where land values
are very high or in order to
get maximum returns from
specialized equipment it is
feasible to contract calves
and heifers out for someone
else to raise until they
freshen. The objective here is
to release more space, feed
and time for care of a bigger
cow herd.
Raisingheifers involves
feed, labour, housing, bed-
ding, electricity, veterninary
care, medicine, machinery
and interest on the capital
tied up in the feed and other
expenses. Regardless of
which party furnishes what,
these items have a dollar
value and 'should be con-
sidered if the heifer -raising
arrangement is to be fair.
