AROUND THE WORLD
In another article written by
Ruaolfo M, Santillan we find more
of the enthusiasm* and hope that the
cooperative movement is offering
people of other lands.
Lately, cooperatives* have shown
their importance in practically all
phases of human endeavor. There
are now co-ops for marketing, buyine
financing, housing and other ser

for burying the dead. It is me

It is apparent that the cooperative
movement is a .world's affair.
The Philippines has its share of
the movement. There are at present
1,330 cooperative associations with
an aggregate membership of 254,906
families.a ast ‘of these .are consum

are derived cere just the crumbs of
benefits that accrue to cooperation.
The m^at is in the production, but
