NATIONAL TROUBLES
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC
HOW FARES BRITAIN?
(British Official Wireless.) '- RUGBY, February 22. In a speech to the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce today, Sir John Simon referred to the increased interest which the British public were taking in the foreign policy and international relations. He said the greatest of all contributions that the Government could make to trade was to promote tho peace of the world and a spirit of confidence between its ■ peoples.
In every great State confronted with social and economic difficulties, which wero the aftermath of the war, an'effort was being made to concentrate national authority and work more effectively for what were believed to be great national needs. . Whereas in other countries much had been accomplished at the price of immense sacrifice of constitutional tradition, they in Britain were endeavouring to do it with the smallest compromise— with freedom of speech, freedom of press, Parliamentary Government, and everything that stood in the name of civil liberty.
Ho thought it added to their influence in that the British nation remained and would remain a free and self disciplined people. *'' ''. ■' : ' ''• '• ■
