Politics and economics in India are deeply steeped in the bazaar tradition.

Thus you never ask for the price which you hope to get for your wares but always leave yourself a cushion for goodwill and you never offer either the price you are asked or the price you are prepared to pay but allow some margin for good measure. Bazaar tactics are sound rather than sordid, for both parties eventually strike a deal and rub meir nanas at the teeiing that each has got the better of the other.

The princes will not have to pay wealth tax on the one building which they occupy, and their jewels, if state-looms instead of heirlooms, wijl be exempt. The commoner too benefits everyone assessed can have a rural residence exempt from the hideous tax, and no levy will be made on. furnishings such as paintings and carpets. Jewellery alone will be liable to the tax, and only if it exceeds the value of 1,625. Instruments for the pursuit of one's profession will be exempt up to a limit of 750.

Commercial easement Companies get their crumb inasmuch as they will not have to pay wealth tax on shares which they hold in another company, and there is going to be a five-year holiday from the tax for new companies. Companies which fail to make a profit in a certain year need not pay the tax for that year. Finally, non-resident foreigners holding investments in India need only pay half the wealth tax. These concessions have been due to a real public discomfort. The tax has even been criticised publicly by a former governor of the Reserve Bank.

Friend in had asked managements and I labour to exercise restraint in price 1 and wage policies, and declared that neither company profits nor union aspirations were paramount. He 1 went on Transcending both, by far, are me interests ot the American people as a whole in a stable price level. For that reason, we are confident our members will be willing to take 'the consequences in collective bargaining if the price reductions we propose should make it impossible to meet all of their joint demands and still maintain a reasonable rate of profit." He added that in other words, the union was not asking the companies to take any risk that it was not prepared to share, A. price reduction of S100 would mean a fall of about 4 per cent in the price of cheaper models of the main American cars (exclusive of delivery charges), but of less than 2 per cent for the more expensive models. Mr Reuther's proposal, however, is for an average reduction of $100, so that the general lowering might be about 3 per cent.

This would come at a time when American car prices have been increasing. A pattern set Two years ago, the union, under Mr Reuther, negotiated an agreement for a guaranteed annual wage with the Ford General Motors, and Chrvsl er rnrnnra- uons. Under the agreement with the Ford company, which was reached first, the workers were guaranteed up to 65 per cent of their normal pay for 26 weeks in the event of lay-ofls This agreement aftected 140,000 workers then on hourly rates. It was the first of its kind with a major corporation, and it set a pattern which has since" been followed in other oarl; of American industry. The agreement with Ford was followed a week later by an agreement with General Motors in similar terms In each case, a trust fund was set up to cover the guaranteed wage, and there was a provision that the company's capital reserves would not be called on lo cover the guarantee.

The agreements were the more important since in the motor industry there were seasonal lay-offs when the factories were retooling before production of new models. The agreement with Chrysler was reached some time after the settlement with General Motors.
