REBUILDING

FOUNDATION OF SINCERITY

“For more than a hundred years the i name of our great industrial community has been known throughout the ' world. Our men and women have ear- , ried out trade and commerce to every ■ land. To-day many of our homes, our cathedrals and churches, our univer- j sity and schools, our factories and I warehouses are damaged or destroyed I by war. But the spirit of our people | has never been higher. The' destruc- I

' tion which we see around us presents lan obligation to plan and to build a | nobler civic and national and international life. In the hearts of our people that rebuilding has already begun. But we must face facts, Civilisation depends upon sincerity of purpose in politics, in business, and in home life. If we build on any other foundation we build on shifting sands, | and the security we long for will never |be achieved.” —From a Manifesto by : the Lord Mayor of Manchester and | the Mayors of Salford and Stretford I to the citizens of their towns.
