It makes one wonder why the good work was not begun earlier. Now the need for economy has all the appearance of a marvellous discovery by the Prime Minister, who will get the credit for everything that happens. As a matter of fact the sudden zeal is the direct outcome of newspaper criticism, and a proof- if, indeed, suck were required at this time of day of the irresistible power nf the Press.

An excellent impression has been creat ed by Mr. Brownlie's call to Labour. Mr. Brownlie is the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Society of Engineers, the wealthiest and most powerful Trade Union in Great Britain, and he wrote a letter, within the week to Mr. C. W. Bowerman, secretary of the Parliamentary Committee of the Trade TJIBODAS Union Congress, in which he said: -

life on
scale hitherto undreamt TJILIWONG of.
No economic policy will bring food
to those stomach, or fuel to those hearths that does not secure the maximum production,, There is no use of tears over high prices; they are to a great degree, a visualisation of insal- ficient production."
Further, Mr. Brownlie called upon the Parliamentary Committees the most representative and responsible body of Trade, Unioniste in the country to give the workers accurate and reliable infor mation. "The mere raising of wages," he says, without an increased produc tion of the necessarica of life is no solu- tion of the difficulty."

The significance of the foregoing is put merely that it contains sound-economic doctrine, .but that it is M mistakeable sign that the true lead- ers of organised Labour in the country are again Assuming the control and direction of the Laboar movement. During the war and also in recent month they were temporarily ousted from their rightful position of leadership by violent fanatic, who were out for strife in the present, and revolu tion in the future. Where are the extremists now? The
of Ina workers-refused to follow them, and they have gode down. Prob- ably they will bob up again if there is ball a chance but they have no followers, "That is the essential fact. It is the fact to be noted in these days of unrest after the war,
Unlike politicians, ecunomists, and journalists who have been telling work ing men that salvation lies in increased production as the only way to make good the appalling wastage of years of war- fare, Mr. Brownlie is not suspect when he says the same thing in his own time and way. He cannot be accused of bol stering up Capitalism. And already bis letter is productive of good. This is seen by the agreement reached this week between the workmen of three great in- dustries and their employers. The powerful engineering and shipbuild ing trades, the engineering industry, and the woollen textile industry have decided the men on the one party and the employers' Federation on the other to consider the question of shorter hours and increased wages in relation to "the economic condition of, these industries.. In the meantime production is to be speeded up.
HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. '.,
It is agreeable to be able to call atten tion to this subject and point to the pro- spect of a better feeling between Capital and Labour. The spirit of sweet reason- ableness on both sides indicated by the willingness to discuss production, hours, and pay with due regard to the position of the particular industry is decidedly hopeful.
Altogether there is evidence which I cannot go into in detail now with regard to the return of sanity in the industrial world. The workers are beginning to understand the position of the country in relation to trade at home and abroad. They are seeing for the first time dimly, perhaps, but seeing all the same that high wages are not the cure for the high cost of living. If the pound sterling is only worth Rs. 6d, in purchasing power it is, they now realise, because we cre consuming more than we produce at home, and are buying goods from abroad in excess of the goods we arport, "and that this latter fact is responsible for the foreign exchanges being against un
If our politicians had only made these facts clear to the people earlier instead of finding excuses for lavish expenditure in various directions a great deal of the trouble that has taken place with Labour would have been avoided. Government in this country has only to tell the people, what the position is and the people will not let England down. They proved this during the war. They can be trusted to prove it again.-H.B,
