The business man who reckons his

who repudiated suggestion for the Ell =

John Cowper Powys, British poet,
yesterday advocated that every Ameri-

of 5000 n year should be forced b.
'aw to retire at the age of fifty and pur-

Mr.. Powys, who spoke at the Phiia ;
delphia Forum at the Academy OF
Music, said Americans are not pieasure

that he had found only two men in the
country who had really lived and had
never worked. it was like finding

added
