JUSTIFICATION BY WORKS
“ The only possible answer,” said Canon Guy Rogers, in a recent speech, “to those who complain that British influence is dominant in a-quarter or the globe is to show them that more happiness, freedom, culture are to be found there than anywhere else on the surface of the earth, and that _ such blessings are spreading outward in an ever-widening circle. Too often have we thought that moral leadership was an aflair of words or an appropriate emotional response The test is fat more searching, and our critics are well aware of it. The road to moral leadership lies through the courageous solution of such mundane questions as raw products, colonial possessions mandates, tariffs and currencies It is to those who take the lead In cutting the Gordian knot in these controversies that the crown of moral leadership will be given. It is for our country that we covet such a crown as justification for the vast influence and wide dominion we still exercise.”
