WHAT THE CURTAIN HIDES

Competitive American business is pro-
ducing for the American people more than
any other people have.
A survey published in Factory Man
agement and Maintenance" shows that
after paying for food, shelter, and taxes,
an American worker has SO times as much
money left as an Italian doing similar
work, five times as much as a French,
Dutch, or Argentine worker, twice as
much as a. South African, $40 week
more than a Canadian, and So week
more than an Englishman.
The comparison stops dead at the
Russian border. But there is no reason to
believe the iron curtain would exist if
Russian living conditions could stand
comparison.
