| the world, has been figuring. out_how
‘much better off we are than the rest
“of the world.
The United States has ok 8 per
cent. of the world’s population, but
‘we consume 'l5 per cent. of the world’s
wheat crop. That means that, if we
do, the wheat crop would have to be
two-and-one-half as large as it is.
We. consume nearly a quarter of all
the world’s sugar, more than half of
the world’s coffee, moré than a quar-
ter of the world’s cotton, one-sixth of
all the wool, three-quarters, nearly, of
all the silk, two-thirds of all the rub-
ber, about two-fifths of the iron and
copper, lead, zinc and coal. We use
three-fifths of the world’s petroleum,
two-fifths of all electrical power, more
Files and three-fifths of all telephones.
And we number less than one-six-
teenth of the world’s population!
If the rest of the world was as well
off as we are how prosperous we and
‘all the rest would be. Our average
family income is $3,000 a year. The.
British income is two-thirds of that,
Canada’s less than half, Sweden's sll
lower, Germany’s only a little over
one-third as large and France’s about
the . same—personal income of the
average man, that is. That's we can,
and do, consume more of the world’s
raw materials than any other nation.
We have set an example to the rest
of the world, which it is slowly begin-
ning to follow, in spots. The farther
and more rapidly it extends, the soner
pnd more surely will we reach the
stage of human development in which
people will no longer die of starvation,
in which every human being will have
his happiness in his own hands.
There are those who say that in
rrival of hot weather, everyone is
thinking about vacation. The time of!

“KNOCKING” THE GOVERNMENT
The world is full of people who try
to blame their own success, unhappi-
ness or incompetence upon somebody
else. Evtrybody knows "somebody
like that. They are the same sort of
people who are always “agin the Gov-
ernment.” The market for crops is

at Washington is Republican or Demo-
cratic. - Business is slow because -the
