THE BRITISH PEOPLE.
ESSAYS BY MINISTERS. MR. SNOWDEN ON FARMERS. (Received January 1. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 31. "There is a real danger in doing things for people instead of letting people do things for themselvtes," writes the Chancellor of tho Exqhequer, Mr. Philip Snowden, in "The Faith of a Democrat," in one of a book of essays just published. "Self-reliant, self-respecting independent people are rendered unreasonable by spoon-feeding." Mr. Snowden describes the British farmer as a survivor of medievalism, and says;—" The first essential for a revival of British agriculture is co-operation." The First Lord of tho Admiralty, Mr. A. V. Alexander, in an essay on Parliament and tho consumer, describes Britain as being "in immediate danger of being subordinated to what would amount to a general tariff. No taxation without representation clearly becomes the watchword of the consumers, who at present are mulcted every year in new impositions and taxation on daily needs.
