A TOWER OF BABEL
"The years of depression since 1929 mark the acute phase of a period of transition from one epoch to another." said Dr. H. Belshaw to the Wellington Philosophical Society. "Unless this transitional aspect of the crisis is realised, wo shall fail to appreciate the underlying significance of the events of our generation. To us, it is the bitter experience of poverty in the midst of plenty which is important. To future generations it will be the societies which will arise and of which we are laying the foundations. The cynic may perhaps wonder whether it is a tower of Babel which we are ei'ecting."
