The sheer waste in this country is
appalling. Our working men get less
comfort and enjoyment out Of given
expenditure than the workmen OF
France; the same is true Of our mid
die classes as a whole; our local au-
fhorities muddle away money; our i'm
perial concerns are extravagantly
managed; our manufacturers throw
money into the sewers or into the
atmosphere and destroy more money
lin the process. 1t is not the COM
lparative luxury among Us so much as
the comparative waste that strikes
people who ih1elligsntly observe the
ways of other nations. A very good
defense may be set up for those re-
lnnements of life which collectively
lare termed luxury, says the London
FTimeS But for waste there is abso-
siutely no defense possible. and the
real Indictment against US as a ma
zion is that we stupidity fail to obtain
the luxury and the pleasure which our
expenditure might procure.
