CRAZY WORLD
LEGISLATOR'S VIEW OF ECONOMICS
"The world to-day seems to be an economic mad house, for in all allegedly civilised countries the masses go hungry because they work too hard raising food," said Mr Lamb, the Country Party member for Lowan, in the Legislative Assembly at Melbourne.
He was overhauling the monetary system in general. "The proof that we are living in an economic lunatic asylum is furnished," he added, "by the almosl universal belief that we can patch up this crazy system. We believe we can ensure the stability of a pyramid that at present is standing on its apex, and that by a cunning mixture of doles and occasional military circuses we will inspire in the minds of hungry men a love for what we call our country when every >it of that country is mortgaged to overseas financiers."
