Outclass Other Countries in Savings

and the statistics which measure the
savings of other countries is proof of
the difference between the ability to
save and the wide diffusion of pros
perity in the United States and the
conditions in foreign lands.
In Germany for instance, there are
more than 100000 savings accounts,
but the total amount represented by
that multitude Of deposits is only
about $S,400,000,000, or little more
than half Of the savings deposits in
American banks. The United King
dom, with nearly half as large popu-
lati0n as that of the United States,
has about 100000 savings accounts,
including postal savings banks, of
course, but the deposits amount to
only about s105O 100000, or 16 per
cent. of the American total.
Austria and Hungary together have
about $1,600,000,000 in savings de-
posts owned by nearly 100000 de-
positors. Italy stands high in the
number of savings accounts, with Z
100000 of them, in round figures, but
low in the total amount of the de-
posts. which are under 100000 900.
