GREAT TASKS
STILL FACING BRITISH LIBERALISM. ADDRESS BY MR CHURCHILL. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.0 a.m.) RUGBY. July 22. Many of the causes which brought Liberalism into being have already been achieved, Mr Churchill said at the National Liberal Club, on the occasion of the unveiling, after restoration, of his portrait. The shackles had been struck off the slave. A career was open to talent. Barriers of class and privilege were being struck down or removed with great rapidity. The rights of small nations and the principles and traditions which animated nationality were all receiving ever greater respect. Across the storms which we had survived there had been a steady theme of Liberalism, which had broadened out among other parties. 'After, the war was over, there would be great tasks of rebuilding to do; great tasks of securing an advance of ideas and not letting it be stopped by mere lassitude, exhaustion or reaction. In rebuilding the country none had a right to stand aside, except on grounds of intellectual or moral scruples, and content himself with a purely critical attitude. He looked forward to the Liberal theme and activities playing their part in the reconstruction of the country.
