"In the absolute sense, the' Ame-
Can pe)ople ar~e not protsprous0," ac-
cording to a statement by Irving Fish-
er, professor of economs at Yale
university in a recent copywrited ar-
ticle in the Springfiel, ilas, ail,
"Iin the tIiiied States four-fifths orI
ovr 90,000,00) people1 make hnr. little!
over bare Iving expenses," e said,
"andl~ thus they can lay lip little in
savings agaist futre needs,"
"According to t he National I311uraiu
of Ec onoic research, the natio ayh'
recovered from the want of 1921, and
is comparatively better off than Ero-
pean countries," Prof. Fisher debar-
ed, "bll t thelPresident and em14Vs
forget that we are only relativey wellI
off. At the annual convention of the
National Associlation otNlanuf aetir-
ers, at Chattanooga, President Egr-'
toni spoke of the abnormally high
wages and lower living costs of the
so-called working lasses. :1However,
it is not time yet to worry about pros-
perity as a threat to our morals."
Bureau Quoted
"The National Bureau of Economic
earned in 19203 was $2,000, or almost
earnedl in 1921 was $2,000, or almost
one-third more than in 1921. The av-
erage income was $9,000,000, which
hakes anr average of $500 apiece for
over 93,000000 of the 117,000,000 peo-
pe who live in the United States.
According to Prof. Willford . ing's
four polulation groups, this 93 mil-
lion makes tip the poorest and lower
middle classes. Professor Fisher fur-
ther stat ed. The poorest class alone
consists of 75,000,000 lpeople, who re-
ceive about 38.6 per cent of the na-
tional income and is made up of mnan-
uial and office workers, small business
mene, many managers, and most of
t he engineers of the country, hie sai.
Professor Risher added that for the
average family of five, this leaves $2-
300, which is just enught to live on
in the family of an office or inustri-
al worker in New York, and leaves
nrothiing for saving.

"Tn the most prosperous year we
have ever known in t his country, the
estimated excess over the necessary
living comforts and necessities, is on-
ly $117. This cannot be said to be
enough to endanger the living of the
people. It mulst be hard for those in
the lower income groups to make
endls meet," Proessor Fisher went on..
"King, andl the Natral Bureau of
Economic Research are obliged to ill
in some items with clever guesswork
it is true, but surely it is better than
the pure guesswork and loose gener-
alizations aout. American "prosper-
ty" which are common in this coun-
try and are implied in the reports ofI
official andl other visiting delegations
from Europe. Our rapid gains in the
last six years give promise that event-
uaIly our industrial machine may pro-
vidle a comfortable living for all," Pro-
fessor Fisher °concluded.
