A Pressing Problem
of
the many pressing problems confronting the British Govern- ment none has higher claims to urgent attention than the inevitable demands which are going to be made for higher wage levels. This is something which directly impinges on the economic structure of the nation and can have widespread repercussions on production costs, living costs and infiation. More- over, as the London Times has observed, the relation of the wages of different groups of workers has a good deal of innce on labour movements. It is these and other factors that have made it necessary for Governments and economists to devise methods controlling or influencing, wage changes ยล a part of their general econoraic policy. While any adequate wage and price policy must be based on general measures, it is argued, the ends desired may be more difficult to achieve unless there is co-operation on the part of those responsible for wage fixing- employers, trade unions and arbitration courts. The immediate question that arises is whether Government action can be taken to secure that co-operation. It has been attempted by most coun- tries, including Britain, since the war. In some democratic States the Govern- ment has fixed wage levels. In others there have been formal or informal dis- cussions between Government and the two sides of industry. In others again the task of fixing minimum wages has been entrusted to special independent bodies. The voluntary principle has been the guide in Britain since 1948 and on the whole It can be held to have. been
na successful as the more rigid systems, adopted elsewhere. The inslo
British tonico of the individual
strado union on its independence and Its right to free collective bargaining has been recognized, but récognition of this doesnot deprive the Government of the responsibility to make its views
known so that arbitration bodies, unions and employers may give them due weight. Many regard it as the Govern- ment's duty to give more definite and constructive guidance to those engaged in wage negotiations, more particularly in relation to collective bargaining. It is felt that more discipline and order should be introduced into the process of collective bargaining and that it should be possible, through statistics, to show just how far wages can rise in any one year without undermining the country's economy. It is on record that the last British Government devoted a good deal of attention to the proposition, but nothing came of it mainly owing to the firm rejection by the Trades Union Council of any tentative suggestion advanced to them. The TUC General Council went over the ground more than once without reaching any constructive agreement. In fact the Council's attitude suggested that it was not prepared to accept any responsibility for making recommendations
on the subject. This, however, does not lessen Government's responsibility to carry its interpretation of the public interest in the rate and the relation-of wage changes beyond the usual, and useful, general appeal for restraint. At all times, and more now than ever before when Britain's whole economy is beset with difficulties, violent changes in personal incomes, of which wages are the most important, affect the whole community. The situation is best stated by the Times which declures that the task of securing full employment with- out constant pressure towards inflation-and with proper flexibility in the use of resources-is one of the greatest political and economic challenges of the day. It is a challonge which the present British Government dare not ignore if it is to protect the general interests of the nation.

He is also charged with wartime denunciation of patriots to the Germans while posing as a worker for the Underground Movement. Eight other people are being charged with Rincherd and the case-which Belgians call the "Trial of the Century" is expected to inst several weeks-London Express.

So great has been the increase during the last 48 hours of these types of incidents that General Erskine postponed his talk with the Egyptian Governor of the Canal Zone today. Instead the General ordered a full report with new incident statistics to be prepared and he will have it with him when he sees the Governor.
A military spokesman here today said: "We ex- pect the tempo to increase, now and in some ways we are glad. With the Egyptians showing their hands we can now study counter-measures.
