SAYS MR HOOVER.
“We devote vast departments of government, great agencies of commerce and industry, science and invention ,to decreasing the hours of work; hut we devote comparatively little to improving the hours of recreation. Economics is u law of life and is not artificial rules imposed hy capitalists or by bureaucrats. The sense of acquisitiveness is a racial instinct as well as an individual instinct. Russia tried to deny all that, and that denial is wliat Communism is. Political leaders who think fitness for office depends upon placing sheer partisanship above national interest are mechanical politicians. Legislation must keep pace with the growing complexity of economic organisation, hut it must also he tuned to our social system, if it is not to expose us to great peril. That tuning will include recognition of the fact that the rich man has rights to equal opportunity as well as the poor.”- Mr Hoover’s Sayings quoted hy the “Sunday Express” (London.)
