how to read cross-section dataset as contingency table in r

Question

Since the most of tutorial only teaches way to make 2-ways table by using the particular categorical variable;

However, what if I want to analyze all of my variable as categorical? for example, this is my original dataset:

Countries population GDP   Schooling 

the US    123123123  123  22

china     34562351234 345  33

japan     8937927312  345345  44

England    23482374   345345  44

in this case, how can I make the 3x3 datasets as contingency table for example, I want country's name as my row, and other variables as column, in need of Correspondence Analysis?
