As was expect ed., the investigators report that liv ing costs in European cities are ex cessively high xnd that few European workers are a^^to buy more than the bare necessltias of life even irt the best of times. If this investigation results in in creasing wages and giving overseas workers a greater purchasing paw'd it will help a lot tiiward restoj-ing ec onomic prosperity in Europe, and that will help all the rejt of the word. to a popular referendum.
