EGOTISTS IN PRESS AND POLITICS.
THE TEMPERAMENT THAT TELLS. LORD BEAVERBROOK'S VIEWS. Lord Beaverbrook, delivering the annual Roscoe lecture at the Royal Institu- tion, Liverpool, took as his subject Politicans and the Press." He set out four main contentions—
1. That the Press is more powerful to-day than ever. But that its actual influence depends on the ability with which it is directed. II. That ability "in public life and publicity depends on egotism. This applies equally to journalists and to politicians. 11. That the modern Press can beat
the politician every time if news papers are conducted by men of character and ability. IV. That the nation owes a debt of grati. tude to Lord Northcliffe, because his genius founded the modern popolar Press and kept that Press absolutely lean.
Whenever some opponent of the modern journalist wishes to castigate and reprave him," said Lord Beaverbrook, he rakes among the ashes of Fleet street, and exhumes some deity of the past. Usually the moderna are told how immensely inferior they are to Delane.
"But if a match is to be made between the present and the past ny answer to those who judge everything by Delane would be to set the late Lord Northcliffe up against him. Dees any reasonable inan doubt that Northcliffe exercised a far greater influence on his age and the politics of his age than ever Delane did

specially engaged for the occasion unde an attack on the premises of Messrs. Thomas Cook & Son, shouldered burdens of all sizes, shapes, and weight, and conveyed them to vans "waiting to transfer the bundles to the new head- quarters of the company in Berkeley Street Piccadilly.
It deals with the "dificult child," and the contention of the writer (who runs a school for difficult children) is that the child is made difficult by wrong handling p The child is born good," says Mr. Neil," but we make him bad by teaching him morality."
*** BOY NEVER WRONG.
The overwrought parent of the bad boy does not generally blame his or her code of morals. But," says the author, I can declare my strong conviction that the hoy is never in the wrong. Every case I have handled has been a case of mis- guided early education."
Trouble comica, says Mr. Neill, when the parent begins to teach the child how to live. The child then comes up against
whole system of prohibitions. "I believe," he says, "it is moralin struction that makes the child bad. When smash the moral instruction & bad boy has received he automatically becomes a good boy. There is no case whatever for the moral instruction of children. It is psychologically wrong.
LOVE TURNED TO HATE.
Talking of punishment the author
says:--
This is no ordinary removal," an official remarked. Despite the fact that tons of property are being taken away, the business of attending to clients is proceeding in the booking hall without interruption. The work of removal will continue throughout the week-end, and when the members of the staff take up their positions in the new headquarters on Monday morning, everything required will be in its proper place. It is hoped that not a single paper or a pin will be, wanting."
The reason for the removal, it was stated, was that while the businese was continuing to increase rapidly, there was no means of making a corresponding in crease in the accommodation at Ludgate. circus. In addition, it had to be borne in mind that a large number of the firm's clients resided in the West End, and it would be possible to study their convenience better in the new quarters.

He should be at once anything equal the egotism of the average just and kind-with the emphasis on Cabinet Ministeri Egotism is, in fact, kindness. None of them would ever at the hallmark of the politician.
"I do not think I shall be asked to make out a case to prove that Mr. Chur- chill is an egotist, or, let us say, Sir William Joynson-Hicks either. I shall take what might appear to be the more difficult instance of the Prime Minister.
"Mr. Baldwin is a shrewd man, but he is an egotist, for he possesses the pride of humility. The Pharisee thanked God that he was not as other men are, mean- ing that he was better. Mr. Baldwin gives public thanks to Providence that he is not as other statesmen, are, meaning that he is not so clever. That is his humility. The implication is that he is more virtuous that is the egotism.
"I am not blaming the politicians for their egotiam. My complaint is that the. politicians deny their own egotism, and actually have the audacity to charge journalism with this vice as though it were a special defect of Fleet street.
A TEST CASE.
"I challenge them with a test case-2 defaite instance. I say, without hesita- tion, that among all the. Conservative leaders there is not one, save Mr. Bridge- man, who can be compared for one in- stant for modesty, toleration, and self- effacement with Lord Rothermere."
Lord Beaverbrook then explained bin third contention that the Press can beat the politicians if it is directed by ability, and he gave two instances of the decisive influence Northcliffe exercised on politics. Northcliffe's attack on the Die-hard peers after the election in December, 1910, undermined Conservative resistance and resulted in the passing of the Parliament Act through the Upper House. The man who actually secured the passing of the Bill was Sir Harold Harmsworth, now Lord Rothermere, acting through his brother, Lord Northcliffe The second instance was when' Lord Northcliffe courageously assailed Kitchener's mana- gement of the war.
Lord Beaverbrook then dealt with the ideal in newspaper direction, urging that the publicist ahould respect no man be cause of his worldly position, nor bear (Continued on next Tolumn).
tain to the realisation of such an ideal, but so long as Fleet street held it up be fore its own eyes as the pattern of per- fection, there would be nothing wrong with the British Press.
