LORD ON “HARDSHIPS’’
I GOOD FOR OTHER PEOPLE j LONDON, April 17. ■ Lord Lcverhulme, in a caustic speech at the Hotel Cecil, regarding the future of industry in the British Empire, said that it grated on his nerves to see so many people anxious to go through ' life without hardships. People who leaned on the Government had little . else to lean on. Tho more the dole , they received, the more they would bei come enchained, and enchainment to a , Government or to capitalism meant slavery. He was told that it was quit o . a common practice for members of the i staffs of the Government offices to - smoko during office hours. If so. the - sooner they cleared out the better. The s enemy of the British workmen to-day 1 was not a cruel, callous employer, bita benevolent State.
