After describing the serious industrial position in Britain, lie saidt "It these conditions were confined to this country there would lie reason to wring our hands and write 'ichabod*over the portals, but they' are worldwide, and reports from abroad show that, the people of Britain are meeting theif troubles with more fortitude, efficiency, and cheerfulness than some other countries. "The position is almost an exact parallel with what happened after tha Napoleonic and Franco-German Wars. There- are far too many Jeremiahs about." He- was satisfied that pluck and grit would see the country through its troubles.
