Low Wages Stem from Waste
The next paragraph elaborates on the scientific leg of the universal code. 
Elimination of waste or muda from the system allows the creation of more 
wealth and, therefore, higher wages.

The best wages that have up to date ever been paid are not nearly as high 
as they ought to be. Business is not yet sufficiently well organized and its 
objectives are not yet sufficiently clear to make it possible to pay more 
than a fraction of the wages that ought to be paid. That is part of the 
work we have before us. It does not help toward a solution to talk about 
abolishing the wage system and substituting communal ownership. The 
wage system is the only one that we have, under which contributions to 
production can be rewarded according to their worth. Take away the wage 
measure and we shall have universal injustice. Perfect the system and we 
may have universal justice.
