THK MKTRIC SYSTEM
The two stupideBt nations!
No! Not Russia and Germany!
Nor even Nigeria and Timbuctoo!
Hut Great Britain and the
United States! "
Now what do you think of that?
You don't believe it? They are the
most enlightened nations?
They are and they are not:
In some things, yes! In the great
vital essential of these vital times,
no!
B'or Great Britain and the United
States are embarking upon the most
colossal world competition in all his
tory with the wrong kind of equip
ment! They are tackling world trade with
the wrong tools!
Two hundred and twelve nations
and countries are doing business to
gether under the simple practical and
tem.
Two nations are attempting to do
business with the 212 under the old
German system.
These two old-fashioned, behind-the-
times, dozing nations are Great
Britain and theUnited States!
And the system they are using
was discarded as worthless by Ger
many half a century ago!
The two greatest (?) nations in
the world are trying to do business
with Germany's cast-offs!
This, no doubt, is precisely as Ger
many had planned. Having tied a
weight to the heels of her greatest
trade adversaries, this cleverly cun
ning country removes her own
weights and skims into world com
merce on the wings of a Bystem In
vented by nn Englishman James
Watt In 1783.
Think of the Irony of it: An Kng-
litAiman gives the world the logical,
decimal system of measurment which
Germany adopts to her tremendous
acceleration in commerce and power
and enrichment by billions of dollars
In return Germany fastens upon the
land of the Englishman to whom she
(ver. no much the cumbersome jum
ble of nuantity expression that is a
terrible handicap to Great Britain In
her world enterprises.
But the real tragedy is this:
The United States slavishly follows
Britannia m her weights and meas
ures and retains them, while all the
rest of the world, except these two,
adopt the decimal system which
everybody understands!
It is under this tremendous handi
cap that the United States enters
world trade. In all her dealings with
the Orient, Oceania, Latin America
and the remainder of the world out
side of British possessions this coun
try to do business with two sets of
measures; the metric to sat
isfy her customers; the German to
humor the obstinacy of her own man
ufacturers. But that obstinacy is cal
culated to cost those manufacturers
tens, of millions of dolars annuually
