Work Buys Most In Democracies In lands where people are per mitted the greatest amount of personal and economic freedom, they have more of the good things of life than their neigh bors in dictator lands. Survey after survey has shown this so convincingly as to leave no room for the belief that the connection between democracy and a high standard of living is accidental. A survey recently completed makes this point even more clear than before. Taking a,number of the products most commonly used by people in all countries, it MIUWS that the average factory employee's work buys more here than anywhere else In the world. While Americans lead in buying power, workers in other demo cracies as a rule followed imme diately behind. The average factory worker in the United States buys 7.5 pounds of bread with an hour's Work, it was disclosed. Figures for other countries Great Britain, 5.2 pounds; France, 5.0; Belgium, 4.9; Italy, 2.8; Germany, 2.5; and Russia, 1.9. In the case of a work shirt, it took one hour and 28 minutes to buy one here. In Sweden, it took three hours and 36 minutes; in Great Britain, four hours and 3 minutes; Belgium, five and 49; France, five and 53; Germany, nine and 50; and Italy, 17 hours and 5 minutes. The workman earns 2.1 pounds of beef in an hour, and is followed by the British workman with 1.4 pounds. Low est on the list are the Italian and Russian, with 0.5 and 0.3 respec tively. All the tests made followed this same general pattern. All show ed that in lands where men are free to use their own initiative, to build for themselves, to work for themselves, and to profit fairly from that work, the highest liv ing standards prevail. Slang Breaker A wealthy American engaged an English tutor for his son. "Take him up into the moun tains," he said, "and break him of the habit of using slang." "11l soon do that," replied the tutor.' Two months later, the pair re turned home. The anxious father rushed up to the tutor for a re port. "Did you -have a successful trip?" he asked the tutor. "You said a mouthful; 111 say we did," was the reply.
