THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Tiib Bitifiirr Sun-:. “The idea that men and women in Britain should work harder in order to ensure prospertiy and good social conditions of living is in essence a sound one. The wastage of the war has to he made good. But this plea, as some people seem to imagine, does not apply only to the working classes. All classes ought to work harder. The criticism applies to master as well as to man. Tt strikes particularly at the ‘parasitic classes’ who pretend to do some sort of work in the City, hut who spend half their time at race meetings or in night dubs. In a word, the critic may lie useful, but he should not exceed his function. 1 believe it to he more useful to bring a word of comfort and hope to men working in every class and in every line of industry—even the depressed ones. Wailing and despair is not the right frame of mind for a great people. If we were hold enough to risk the war we ought to he enduring enough to face its consequences and win through to the final peace of prosperity.”—Lord lieaverhrook in the “Sunday Kxpress.”
