I'm my opinion we can only recover
from the present load Of debt by
stimulating and encouraging new en-

not only in the United Kingdom but
through the British empire
New developments and new
sources Of wealth cannot be either
taken by government or under
taken by government They re-
Quire that even balance between
rashness and cautious prudence which
is only attained by the man who has
risked his own money in the enter

THE British empire and the British
trade and shipping have not been
built UP by the government They
have been built up by private citi-
zens in that spirit OF venturesOmeness
which has characterized the British
race through the centuries.
This empire has been built up ana
endures. Notwithstanding that the
men who built It up and made our
shipping and commerce to flourish
have passed 10 the great majority and
Joined the ocean Of eternity.
They were, after all, only tenants
for life. The nation is the residuary
leEatee.
IF business could be built Up to
order merely by the provision Of capt.
tai then other nations could achieve
what has been achieved by the British
race.
1T is not capital alone. but behind
the capital the man. and the man has
