BRITISH METHODS Preservation of Liberty PEOPLE’S SELF-DISCIPLINE
(British Official Wlrelees.i (Received 24, 10.10 a.m.) RUGBY, Feb. 22. In a speech to the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce Sir John Simon referred to the increased interest which the British public is taking in foreign policy and international relations. Ho said that the greatest of all contributions that the Government could make to trade was to promote the peace of the world and a spirit of confidence between its peoples. In every great State confronted with social and economic difficulties which were the aftermath of war an effort was being made to concentrate national authority and work more effectively for what, was believed to be great national needs. Whereas in other countries much had been accomplished at the price of an immense sacrifice of constitutional tradition, they in Britain were endeavouring to do it with tbo smallest compromise, with freedom of speech and the freedom of the press, and with Parliamentary government and everything that stood in the name of civil liberty. He thought it added to their influence in the world that the British nation remained and would remain a free and self-disciplined people.
