He knows also that there are two ways of deflating a balloon; one is to prick it iwith a pin and the other to blow it up until it bursts. But if he values his bal- loon he will do neither of those destructive things, and if someone else did it he would set up a howl! Which things are an allegory of what is happening to our in- dustrial and national economy. Schoolboys, of course, know noth- ing about economics, and most of their ekiers have but a vague idea of the meaning of that term. As a boy, whenever I heard of a person being referred to as econ- octuical" I .assumed that he or she was a penny-pincher and the next thing to a miser. Later, after cur- sory study of the subject, I con- cluded that economies was an ab- stract scienee which could only be fully grasped by professors of political economy. - The very word "inflation," simple as its meaning is eommon use, when it comes to be applied to in- dustry and commerce, the average person dismisses the subject as beyond him, or regards it as just another bugbeir of the capitalists and poliLicians. And yet the in- flation of currency is no more mysterious than that of a toy bal- loon and it is just as liable to end in deflation. As a .matter of plain faet, inflation of currency actually deflates it in value. While inflation increases the volume of currency, at the same time, or subsequently, it decreases the purchasing power of currency. If, for instance, inflation is start- ed by excessive union demands for higher wages, the union workers are iminfdiately better off financ- ially', but with the subsequent rise in costs and prices, the fixed wages and salaries of all other workers are deflated in value. The obvious remedy for (that unfair situation is to raise all wages in proportion. Rut that would call for still further inflation to meet the conseq.uent increased costs and prices of all kinds of products and services. The idea that merely by increas lag the wages of everybody you can increase purehaaing power is a mirage which disappears as you approach it. The delusion is in would be wealthy compared with their forebears of 50 years ago. At that time, and even later, a working man could raisq fit, class repeater on the Toronto Globe in 1914, and editors were well-to-do at thirty dollars. The atverage weekly wage across Can- ada today is about sixty dollars. Skilled workers can earn as ,much as $80-$100 and more. Standards of living have advanc- ed in the meantinae in accordance with the expansion of industrie.s and services, which constitute the real wealth of the country. With that expansion, wages were ihound THURSDAY, LoMil. 21st, 1057 to rise proportionately, hut that is not real inflation. Inflation be- gins when labor and other costs get out of balance with the produc- tion of goods and services. When that occurs, prices must rise and the value of the dollar is reduced accordingly. When prices rise to a point where those who have got no increase in their incomes must reduce their purchasing, sales will daline and unemployment will ensue.
