TAKING STOCK OF OURSELVES Travelers who spend any time at all in Europe and then return to the United States continues to be the envy and admiration of the people of other countries. The fact that the lot of the average citizen in the United States is much better than the circumstances of people in other countries is generally recognized in other lands whether it is so recognized in the United States or not. Of course the great majority of Americans are patriotic citizens who have a proper love and regard for their own country and the unexampled opportunities which it affords them and their children. There has been in the United States during the past few years, however, so much complaint and criticism, coming not only from the communists—who goodness knows are bad enough—but from a great many people who ought to know better. They prattle about the old canard that ten per cent of the epeople in America own ninety per cent of the wealth, that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer, that the Government owes everybody a living, a living which cannot be obtained without regimented economy and the "production for use instead of profit." Yet what about this country of ours as compared with the rest of the world? Just where do we stand as likened to other people anyhow? By the way of beginning it may be observed that the United States has people are better fed and better clothes than those of any other nation in the world. In no European nation do we see factories which are hemmed in by the automobiles of the working men who have driven to the work! And the rich have not been growing richer while the poor were growing poorer. In 1850 in the United States, the worker share of national income was 38 per cent. In 1929 it was 65 per cent and there has been no change in this respect during the depression. In 1930, no less than 14,000,000 families owned their own homes and since then the Government—whether its efforts have been efficient or not—has been spending hundreds of millions in an effort to increase the number. More than half of the farmers of the United States own their own farms, and on more than half of the farms there are no mortgages, despite the wailing about the poor farmer—some of which may be justified. This is not all of it. Less than two years ago there were 38 million savings accounts in our banks and the number has increased since then. There were life insurance policies in force to the face value of seven billions and the life insurance business picking up. All this is in addition to the 88,060,000 industrial policies with a fair value of over eighteen billions. Compare this record with any you can find in Europe. Compare it with Soviet Russia in land where the leftist system May Day Festival At Marywood Well Attended With Miss Kathleen Burkhard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burkhard, reigning over the festivities as queen of the May, students of Marywood high school held open house with a program and carnival Saturday at the school.
