Letters to the editor German american standards As a German Reader of the stars an stripes i think the article Germany s Blue Collar Bonanza was exaggerating Little when comparing German and Macri can obvious mistake was to compare in comes on the basis of current Exchange rates. By Ray own estimate it takes about three Marks to buy in Germany what on Dollar will buy in the . The German Bureau of census figure the Dollar s True value at Home close to 2.77 Marks taking into account All Cost Sand services including imported fashion items and luxuries As Well As hotel and restaurant prices which May have Little Impact on the . Household budget so when you assume one Dollar equal three Marks or 2.77 Marks As a realistic equation u is not the German but the american worker who has the bigger pay Check. Only that can logically explain Why Al or s incomes accepting decades of Strain and sacrifices americans could not even dream of. Basically the German Blue col Lar worker can by no Means afford to live like his american counterpart on the other hand some White Collar jobs Are better paid even by True Mone tary value in Germany than in the . This is True for teachers librarians archivists or secretaries. German workers do have an advantages far As social benefits go. Germans by tradition tend to be far More Security minded and under the influence of social ism Are sometimes brainwashed into giving social benefits a disproportionate Over All it Means much Money is Cut off from their free spending Money to Safe guard against All kinds of emergencies that May never German and american pay checks before and after taxes and you will see what i mean. Although some of Ameri in ownership of cars Homes private Tele phones and other things that make up a Liv ing Standard. When a House in the states now Cost 50median monthly paychecks which Ameri cans consider outrageous it takes twice that Many German paychecks to own one Over Many German people do it on work germans or their Standard of us germans however u is a fascinating experience that after being Down appoint Zero in 1945 we Are now approaching american standards. But let s not be car ried away to exaggerations i said approaching not surpassing.

We share your feelings that in the year of the Soldier,1 As to and Yean better service should be a matter of morals i feel inclined to reply to the recent Arti Cle titled missed the Point because it lacked veracity. The person concludes that women Wel fare recipients prostitutes and Low skilled or Low paid workers Are forced there by economical or psychological Means. Women Are not forced into immoral acts because of unemployment that s ridiculous because u a person has set his or her morals at a certain level they wont be moved unless they will it so. I would say that prostitutes lesbians and otters arc a moral Issue and this person s sick rational Ising would Only provide a weak excuse to the victims. This person goes so far to say that Many women escape prostitution by sheer Hick.
