DICTATORSHIPS
PUNGENTLY CRITICISED BRITAIN’S DUTY. A PRociafciop Kleetric Telo6r* , (Received Wednesday, 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, Tuesday. Lord Horder, .addressing the British Association for the Advancement of Science, pungently criticised dictatorships, asking: “Did the colour of men’s shirts matter if they soon became shrouds.” He continued: “If a clash came between the hordes of the Fascist and Communist barbarians the salvation or doom iof the world would depend on whether Western Europe and America were able to preserve individualised society. Britain should not trade her national characteristics, individuality and poise for vaunted foreign panaceas. No Avonder the nerves of the r.eople to-day are on edge. Any honest doctor will tell you the most organic complaints are due to anxiety and neurosis. As fast a® science has been eliminating disease functional disorders are increasing. Nevertheless it is wrong ro blame science for our troubles. On the other hand it has.,loaded man Avitli benefits i.o Avliich he has slioavii indifference, or used Avith criminal carelessness and prodigality.”
