NO TIME FOR POLITICS
A SHORT-SIGHTED ATTITUDE.
“There are those tvho make it almost a boast that they do not take any interest in politics, and that they leave politics to the politicians,” said Lord Hailsham in a recent speech.
“These people do not mean to be complimentary when they use the word politicians. I venture to suggest that this is a very short-sighted and a very selfish policy. More and more I belive that industry and commerce on the one hand, and politics on the other, are inextricably tied up together. More and more is it true that that political decisions made in Parliament vitally affect the interests of trade and industry, and therefore of every purchasing citizen of the country. The man who says he is too busy to bother about politics is really neglecting a vital side of his own business interests.”
