WHITE APRONED FOLK
•*1 remember in my days at the Ministry of Food, Mr Clynes telling me how he was in a Lancashire mill at eleven years of age.. At thirteen he was doing a man’s full work, and at night he spelled his ~jvay by candlelight through Shakeffieare, preparing himself for the great duties that one day were to be his. - Let -us look facts in the face. One that stands ou-t is that it is now possible to go from the engine footplate to the" Cabinet Room in Downing Street. It is possible to go. from one of the mills to high office in the State. And one is discovering that among the plain white-aproned folk there is all manner of submerged
genius, purposefulness and beauty of character. We are beginning to see the progress of retrogression of any nation by its treatmnet of the common people.”—Mr Sidney Walton.
