Foundation Survey Show Growth of U. S.

A survey report just released in ; book form by the foundation an- ! swers the question.. "In one generation (1900 to 1929) our national Wealth increased from $88,517,206,800 to $335,029,000,000 I—a gain of nearly 400 per cent.

Savings 1 bank deposits Increased four-fold from $7,000,000,000 in 1910 Io $28,250,000,000 in 1929. Though the ■ depression, witli its toll of uneni--1 ploynient, had by 1932 reiui.ed our ! national wealth to $247.000,000,000 ; and our annual income to $40,000. ■ I 000,000, we still have wealth and ! fineoine double that with which we i ’ begun the century.
