ENCRUSTED EVILS.
“Macaulay’s New Zealander would see that, “with all our higher forms of organisation” we have failed as completely as his raw and inexperienced age failed before this particular problem, that we have failed to avert a catastrophe so stupendous that it almost wipes out for whole districts die advance that civilsation has made in our habits and plan of life. But what is the moral ? These evils are the result of thy disunion of the progressive forces. Vested interests and vested prejudices present great obstacles to the vigorous prosecution of those schemes of reorganisation on which our industries recovery depends, and of those housing schemes on which the rescue of the towns depends. The failure to carry those reforms would be as disgraceful to our statesmanship as the long hours and dismal lives of the workman of 18.'JO were disgraceful to the statesmanship' of our great-grand-fathers.”—“Westminister Bank lieview.”
