[USMA:26226] Re: The Globalist Global Health -- The MetricWay to Sweeten Up America.htm

[Joseph B. Reid]

I wonder why Nat Hager III and Paul Trusten in USMA 26211 and 26212 
both repeated the long, balanced discussion of the metric by the 
Globalist.  The Globalist article was so well balanced that I could 
not tell whether the Globalist is in favor or against the metric 
system.

The Australian Metric Conversion Board assumed that the general 
public could only be convinced of the value of the metric system by 
using it.  Hence the Board concentrated on converting horse racing, 
sport, manufacturing, the press and education. The result was a most 
succeessful and rapid conversion.
