THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Tub Imperial. Conference. The word of the nineteenth century was Liberty. The word of the twentieth century is Organisation. On our ability to harmonise the two depends the future of the British Empire. “To make two blades of grass grow where one grew before has never been thought unworthy of a good man. J! that is materialism it is part of soul of idealism. Humanity ought to know no contradiction between its dinner and its prayers. In this age laboratories are more beneficial than legislatures. Science and organisation can raise every people of the British Empire to a real level of life high above pre-war standards. “If the Imperial Conference does not make the Imperial Economic Committee once for all what it’ ought to be, then, to adapt a phrase of Goethe’’?, the Premiers and delegates "ill resemble the man who held the philosopher’s stone in his hand, but was not philosopher enough to know it.” —Air Garvin in the “Observer.”
