HOPE FROM IMPOVERISHMENT
"We are all going to be impoverished by this war to an extent unknown ifi the last war, and it is going to compel us to take stock of our social adjustments in a way wc* have not been compelled to do hitherto," said Dr Temple, Archbishop of York, in an address to the Workers' Educational Association. "No doubt it would be satisfactory if all ideals could be realise: 1 through the sheer enthusiasm they kindle in the heart of members ol the public, but it has never hap-, pened yet and I don't suppose any of us will live to see it happen. "It is only when a need approaching necessity disturbs the intertia of anything like a social system that really great reforms can be carried*out. Then those who natuiilly tend to leave things alone are shaken out of that position. They know that that at any rate is quite untenable, that things cannot go on as they were, and consequently you have a far bigger body of people ready to consider who! would be a better way of organising."
