In an editorial on April 21, the Financial Times declared: "....the Government must take action quickly in two directions. First, it must ‘be more willing...to speak out and stress the fact that if some workers..receive larger increase than the average, others must receive smaller..Second...it must put great emphasis on the productivity criterion for increases...The incomes policy will have succeeded...if higher pay is made strictly conditional....on the abandonment of restrictive practices."
