The world is industry-mad. When Great Britain be- came the first “industrialized” nxtion, it meant that every Britisher in the factories would make enough things to support himself, and as much more to sell to nations which were not industrialized. We were then among the agricultural peoples. Other nations followed, ourselves among them. More than two-thirds of our people now live in cities and towns. All Europe has become industrialized, except Russia and a few odd corners, and Russia is struggling to industrialize herself.
