ORDINARY PEOPLE
"The fear an £ dlstr.ess that endanger the peace of the world and the welfare of humanity have not infrequentjy an economic and social background. The real danger of the present age is that we tremble or dance-— aecording to our tejnperament — on the brink of a voleano which at any moment may hurst into eruption. We tend to say that we are not responsibie for the present situation and that we cannot mend it. That is untrue, and it is unworthy pessimism. The generality of folk are responsibie, not Governments, not statesmen, not economists, certainly not politicians. It rests with ordinary people so to readjust the social order that problems may disappear. I do not discouht for a moment the value of leadership, but believe that in the long run the common mind forms the judgments upon whieh we act. We are responsibie much more than we think for the political and economic situation. We are obliged to do our best to solve the problems of industry, of economics anil of politicg.": — Dr. Warman, Bishop of Manchester.
