BACK TO NATURE.
The logic of Mr. Earl Vaile's letters is that the cheap labour countries of India, China and Japan should be excessively prosperous. But are they? When one wants to sell it is bad policy to go where the buyers have no money to exchange for your goods. If this logic were correct then why not go further and get right T>ack to nature? Everyone would then cultivate for himself. Real estate agents, and bankers would find it a hard world when the worker was reduced to a loin cloth. Even the witch doctors have to dig for themselves in primitive society. The more you reduce the distributing power of the producer the quicker you will eliminate his parasites, because he cannot maintain them on nothing, and the soo'ner his monetary reward ceases the quicker will all become producers and the drones be eliminated. Mr. Vaile should carry his views to their logical conclusion, for then we could dispense with even the moneylender. ABO.
