Is there not a possibility that capital, laborers and farmers, by placing themselves in equally powerful bargaining positions, may come to see the futility of sabotage as a price-sustaining force? Once farmers are able to meet the other classes of society on equal terms, all three classes ought to unite on production as the source of profit, rather than on clever bargaining. This involves close-knit organizations of both farmers and laborers under the leadership of men well educated in general economics, in strategic bargaining, and in production. There must be men studying the system as a whole, men who perceive the legitimate physical difficulties which our society faces. The labor leaders must come to see that there is a point beyond which labor can not go in raising wages and reducing hours. Farm leaders must come to see that there is a point beyond which farmers can not go in reducing acreage and raising prices. Business leaders must come to see that the common people will not stand for curtailment of production to two-thirds factory capacity in order to secure abnormal profits, when by running the factories to full capacity the business will give normal profits. The best brains of all classes must unite in overcoming legitimate physical handicaps, not in figuring out ways in which a specific class may benefit at the expense of other classes. In the meantime, farmers must learn to use sagacious sabotage as effectively as labor and capital. Otherwise they will continue to be at the mercy of capital and labor. What is the best means of overcoming the food shortage resulting from drouth? _Laissez faire_ economists and business men say: Let high prices curtail demand and stimulate production. But this remedy is “locking the stable after the horse is stolen.” Is it practical to build government warehouses to store wheat in years when the acre yield is more than fifteen bushels, and from which wheat may be drawn in years when the yield is less than thirteen bushels? No scheme of this sort can be definitely laid out in advance. But statistical science will soon reach a point where it should be possible to meet our physical handicaps in the way of drouth, floods and accident, in the spirit of doing what is best for society, instead of utilizing the crisis for individual or class profit. If we are to continue our present complex society, we must educate our children very thoroly in social mathematics. Our problems are not only problems of the spirit, but also of exact measurement. What is the fair price for bacon? This involves the cost-of-production idea. Is bacon relatively lower or higher than hogs? Are hogs relatively lower or higher than corn? Is there a normal supply in the country? If bacon were lower in price, would the future supply be imperiled? Would an injustice be done to farmers? If bacon were higher in price, would an undue profit accrue to the packers, or would the farmers be stimulated to produce too many hogs a year from now?
