TELEPHONE COMPART COMPILES STATISTICS OF WORLDWIDE SURVEY There are sixteen times as many people outside the United States as within it, yet this counrty has nearly one-half of the world's total of 41,- 090,347 telephones. Outside the United States, on the average, only every 100th person has a telephone, while within the United iStateB there is about one telephone for every six people--15.4 telephones for every 100 of the population. There is more telephone wire in the United States than in all the rest of the world put together. In this country then is nearly 4,000 feet of wire for every man, woman and child, whereas there is an average of only lightly over 200 feet of telephone wire per capita in the rest of the world. In the United States, the average per capita use of the telephone amounts to 223 calls per year; elsewhere in the world the average yearly per capita use is only about sixteen calls. At the present time, more than 1.000 telephone calls are completed in this country per second, or more than 91,000,000 calls per day. At the beginning of 1980, the latest date for which it has been possible to gather comprehensive authentic information, the number of telephones in the world (41,090,347) were connected to 174,548,000 miles of wire, corresponding to 1.91 telephones and 8.11 miles of telephone wire for every 100 of the world's population of slightly more than two billion people. The United States alone accounted for approximately one-half of these facili ies, viz., 19,958,268 telephones and 92,- H50,000 miles of telephone wire. Europe, with 4% times as many people as this country, had only 15,805,459 telephones and 50,033,000 miles of telephone wire, corresponding roughly to one-third of the world totals. During 1938, the world's telephones and wire mileage increased by 1,845,- 278 instruments and nearly 6,000,000 miles, respectively. Over one-half of the world's telephones are automatically operated, including more than 9,000,000 "dial" telephones in this country. About two-fifths of the world's telephones are operated by governmental agencies, while three-fifths are operated by private companies, the largest private system being in the United Sates. The largest govemmentally owned and operated telephone system is that of Germany, which had only 4,146,489 telephones, or roughly onefifth of the number in the United States. The total number of telephones in the five largest countries which are mainly served by privately owned and operaetd systems (namely, Thursday, May 2,1010 | the world, equivalent to 22.26% of its 7,888,000 population. Washington with 289,668 telephones and San Francisco with 282,008 telephones had, respectively 40.14 and 38.53 telephones per 100 population, higher development than any other large city in the world. The number of telephones in relation to population is particularly striking when it is considered that Chicago had more than twice as many telephones as Paris, which had 437,- 139 or 15.45 per 100 population compared to Chicago's 962,351 or 27.11 per 100 population. Chicago had 362,- 440 more telephones than Berlin, although Germany's capital had about 780,000 more inhabitants. Tokio with a population of 6,458,000 had only 290,510 telephones -compared to Chicago's 962,351. Chicago bad more telephones than the combined city and county of London trhnns papulation of 4,028,000 had only 717,468 telephones. Greater London actually contains 9,- 800,000 people and 1,183,942 telephones, which is equivalent to 12.46 telephones per 100 people, or less than half the telephone density of Chicago.

On January 1, 1939, New York City had 1,632,348 telephones, highest in found abroad, reaching a far greater proportion of the population in each community, whether large or small.
