Many Americans contend that British machinery to out of data and factory methods hide bound and Inefficient They think the output per manhour Is much too low In England. They contend that the British nationalisation pro gram Is wasteful and uneconomic And the three combine to make British prices too high. And some Americana contend that the British must cheapen their mon ey In terms af ears. This would make British goods lower priced for aa ta hay with ear doilaia.
