GREED, ROOT OF ALL EVIL IS OPINION OF SIR OLIVER LODGE. ? ■ . LONDON. "The will both of the individual, and of the community is thei maxn thing to get right if we are tq live together in a civilised manner," said Sir Oliver- Lodge in a broadcast talk recently. . , f "Greed and selfishness are the root of all evil, and seientific weapons may increase the powers of evilly disposed pefsons.. We know hy 'hitter experience what the result Of that is. One of the results is'the crisis in which the world finds itself. "There are scourges plaguing man which' are- still to be tackled. „ At .present they seem to be regarded as inevitable and not worth an effort, which is thought to be hopeless. "If the corporate will of .humanity were directed to their end and hands of seientific 'explorers were encouraged to find a remedy and if steps were taken to apply their knowledge on a largei scale, the sores of humanity could he overcome. "So long as we have knowledge which we do not apply to a good pur- , pose we are not really civilised. "At present science, has gone ahead and civilisation has lagged behind."
