More than 2S5,OO0 organizations in
all parts of the world are connected
with It. The total membership prob
ably exceeds forty million persons,
but as some of the members are con-
nected with more than one cooper
alive society, it is estimated that the
total number of persons represented
by these organizations is upwards of
thirty million. As in most cases each
individual member represents a fam
lily averaging four persons, it may be
said that a total or more than 12O,-
100000 persons are linked up with
the cooperative cause.
ALREADY strong in numbers and
well organized prior to the war, the
needs of the time and the stress of
necessity in the course of the world
war and subsequently, have given
such an impetus to cooperation that
it stands out as one of the most prom
inent features of the economic struc-
ture of the world today.
War of Help to COOPeratives
"Duirng the world war the state
authorities in q number of countries
found in the cooperatives the best if
not the only large-scale organization
available for distribution of the neces-
saries of life and serviceable agency
for protecting the public against
profiteers. Moreover, in the postwar
era the network of cooperative soci-
cites stretching out over whole nations
and tying together all classes of So
ciety, formed in many cases the
strongest basis upon which the re-
construction and development of trade
and industry could proceed, and with
out which certain economic reforms
seemed impossible of achievement.
an Finland, the Baltic republics,
Poland and Czechoslovakia, where the
world war destroyed most means Of
livelihood, the state authorities are
awaiting themselves of the cooper
alive organizations, established prior
to the war, as the most serviceable
means for reconstruction.
Rank High AS Producers
an some of the larger countries Of
Europe like the United Kingdom,
Germany. and France, the consumers
cooperative societies rank among the
largest producers and distributors Of
necessaries Of life. In England and
Germany nearly half of the popula-
ton is affiliated with the consumers
wholesale and retail societies. In

about eight million people are direct
ly interested in cooperative enter
