Lord Nuffield " Was Gelling Bored”

INCENTIVE TO WORK FOR SHAREHOLDERS.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, October 16. “I was getting bored, but now have a new incentive for working for the shareholders,” said Lord Nuffield, when interviewed referring to tho public’s interests in shares. He added : “There is no responsibility in looking after your own money, which means nothing to me. Indeed I could easily go back to where I started, and might be happier if I did, but having earned the money I wish to alleviato suffering in which I believe Britain ought to lead the world. I hope that the University every year will produce twenty brilliant men, who would teach other centres.”
