“MIND” AND EMPIRE
GREAT BRITAIN’S STRENGTH. “ Lord Baldwin nailed his colours to the. mast,” says the Oxford Times, “ when he came to speak of the secret of the Empires strength. “ ‘ Freedom, ordered freedom, within the law, with force in the background and not in the foreground, a society in which authority and freedom are blended in due proportion, in which both State and citizen are both ends and means. It is an Empire organised for peace and for free development of the individual in and through an infinite variety of voluntary associations.’ “ The political system which holds our complex Empire together and gives it its foremost place in the world has surely never been better described. “ ‘ Smal minds and a great Empire go il Itogether,’ Burke said. Our Empire’s grtatness and indivisibility are the fruits of our full acceptance of the sacred principles of liberty.”
