GUIDING PRINCIPLE
LEAD FOR PEOPLE OF TODAY. Young people today told the older generation they had made a mess of things and left youth to clean it up, said the Countess of Iveagh. in an address to students. It was true that the older generation had made mistakes, but she believed their motive had been right, and it was motive that counted. She was definitely an optimist about the future of Britain because of her faith in its destiny. History taught that mankind was undergoing a long and very slow evolution, and she believed it was written clearly in the pages of history that a country with a right principle would go forward, that principle being that in achieving its aim they should do nothing that would injure any other people.
