and everybody—the wrong way. We thought that we did the best for ourselves by only thinking of ourselves. We believed that the aim of life was what we got and not what we gave. I believe that the British Parliament and the British Nation, if they really believe in the Gospel and in doing to others as they would be done unto, could lead the world in a new campaign. I have tried to put this point of view to meetings all over the country for twenty-odd years or more. The poor people listened to it—lots of people believe it—but they do not see their way to do it. You believe it, and if you have the will, believe me, you can do it. We can do it, if we have the will, but it must be done on the basis of working in the service of one another, and none of us asking from the world more than we are prepared, according to our ability, to give back to the world.”

Former Prime Minister Mr. Baldwin said at the same time: “I am sure that the right honorable gentleman need make no apology to the House for the concluding words of his speech. I know that they will find an echo in many hearts throughout the House, and I think that I can say that I have advocated, perhaps not so ably as the right honorable gentleman this afternoon, the general principles of what he has said, on many platforms during the past twelve or fourteen years.”

Recently one of Europe’s greatest economists, Sir Joseph Stamp, a director of the Bank of England, said to a writer: “We used to talk about moral values and material values as though they were two different and contradictory things. The depression must have taught us that they were the same things and that without moral values there can be no material values. There is only one basis of wealth and that is character.”
