BRITAIN’S PROBLEM
THE PEACE OF THE COUNTRY ”1 am a believer in the country,” said Mr Lloyd George, in an address to a Welsh village institute. “I should feel happier and more confident about the futurp if there had been more people living in the country. There is a calm which comes from the country. It is the countries that have their population in the rural areas that in the end will pull through. I believe that is going to save Russia in the end. A vast mass, 90 per cent- r of the people, are outside the towns. I should feel happier about Britain if there was not such a large proportion of her population concentrated in the dusty, feverish atmosphere of the great cities and industrial areas. I have been saying this for some years, and I am perfectly certain that there is no more important question for the statesmen of Britain than the problem of getting a larger proportion of the people to dwell in the calm, secure atmosphere of the country.”
