Morocco is importing our dollar watches; Korea is learning the waste of allowing nine men to dig with one spade.

And all this means telephones.
In thirty years, the Western Electric has sold sixty-seven million dollars' worth of telephonic apparatus to foreign countries.

But this is no more than a fair beginning.

To put one telephone in China to every hundred people will mean an outlay of three hundred million dollars.

To give Europe as fit an equipment as the United States now has, will mean thirty million telephones, with proper wire and switchboards to match.
And while telephony for the masses is not yet a live question in many countries, sooner or later, in the relentless push of civilization, it must come.
Possibly, in that far future of peace and goodwill among nations, when each country does for all the others what it can do best, the United States may be generally recognized as the source of skill and authority on telephony.
