4. Comparison of real income produced annually per gain
fully employed person expressed in U. S. dollars. Average
for the decade 1925 to 1934 a typical period including both
prosperity and depression.
1. The U.S. figure above look ood, but by the time
our fighting men are in their forties, the average
American can be producing twice as much real in
come. He can be buying twice as much bread and
twice as many cigarettes with an hour's wages; work
ing only half as long to earn a radio, a house, a hat, a
vacation or anything else he needs.
2 That ara facts, not promises. Since 1900 our
production per man-hour has been increasing at the
rate of 2'a a year-far faster than any other nation's
in the world. In the last 44 years we have tripled the
amount of goods each gainfully employed person can
product-tripled our standard of living.
3. fa II we utt kaaa our present rate of progress,
we can double it again in 25 to 30 years. But we've
got to maintain our Free Competitive Enterprise Sys
tem to do it For that system is based on two funda
mental principles: PROFIT and COMPETITION.
And whenever a nation has tampered loo much 'mi
tither principle ill standard of living has suffered.
4 Same hove practically eliminated competition by
allowing private monopolies of land and industry.
Others have eliminated both profit and competition by
government ownership. But in either case, the aver
age man has taken the rap. Our system isn't perfect
yet, but let's be sure that any "improvements" we
consider don't hamstring the two principles that have
made us great.
