AND RECOVERY.
When we describe the situation in
Great Britain and Sweden before au
diences, we are constantly faced
with the query as to whether or not
conditions are any better than those
in the United States. One statisti
cal answer has been issued in the
Cleveland Trust Company's Business
Bulletin of March 15, 1935, showing
a chart of the last ten years of in
dustrial production. The statistics
are based on 1928 as 100%. When
the break took place in 1929, pro
duction declined In Great Britain to
approximately 88%, in Sweden to
approximately 85% and in the Uni
ted States to approximately 58%.
Great Britain and Sweden had the
least decline in industrial produc
tion of any of the nations listed in
the chart, while the United States
had the greatest. From the low
point at the end of 1932 industrial
production in Great Britain has in
creased to approximately 103%, in
Sweden to approximately 107%, and
in the United States to only approxi
mately 71%. These statistics issued
by one of our large financial institu
tions should lead to the conclusion
that conditions In Great Britain and
Sweden are far better than In the
United States, and a study of rea
sons behind these statistics will
prove that they are the result of the
developments In those countries of
four major economic policies.
1. Organized social insurances
paid for by Income and inheri
tance taxes.
2. Monetary control by the

3. Publie ownership of monopo
