Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 11, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days what does it Cost Many Many years ago when i a associated with the National association of manufacturers some of the hired help got into a great discussion As to How to measure a Standard of living. There had always been Large talk on How High and Superior the american Standard of living is but How does anyone really know what is the yardstick that can by universally applied so we worked it out on the basis of How Many hours of labor does a Man have to sell to buy a Pound of butter loaf of bread a Glass of water a pair of shoes a shirt a dress Etc. We found after careful research that not Only was the american Standard of living High but that in Compa Rasion with Many other countries the Cost of living measured in terms of labor was Low. Now along come the Al Cio i department of internal affairs with a Chart that brings such stud j ies up to Date. In fact they do a More Complete Job because in and \ edition to showing what the situation is now they make a com-1 Paras on with 1938. The ultimate1 test of communism even from the standpoint of dialectical materialism. Will not be How Many nations the Kremlin will reduce to its will and Power but what happens to the people of those countries what is done for their general welfare.

If we take the United states As the Norm Only because we live Here it takes a Man 33 hours to minutes of labor to buy a suit of clothes and in soviet Russia it takes 350 hours of work for the same purpose when one realizes that 350 hours is nearly 44 working Days of 8 hours each it is an enormous Price to pay for one suit of clothes. Let us have a look at one Pound of bread in the United states that costs a worker Iive minutes of labor and we complain about the High Cost of living. In soviet rus vol. 80, no. 162 it.
