Proceeding, Mr. Baldwin said: It has often struck me in trying to lay my finger on the difficulties and the danger spots of the present day, that among the many causes of the present discontent: you put this: We are living in an age in which there has been a greater deve- lopment of material advantages of all kinds than there has been in a similar space of time in past ages. In this century alone we have seen the develop ment of motors, of telephones, of gramo- phones, of an enormously increased use of electricity for. industry and in the Home, and, most "wonderful of all, the development of wireless, which is still in its infancy. And it is perfectly datural, when people see such progress being made in the various fields of activity and human life, to feel there must be some short cut to a general im provement in our material conditions and in the relationships of human life. It is most natural, but it is fallacious.
Now in the part which you play and are destined to play, you stand not only to support great party, but to give your support in that most valuable forms, the form of educating and influencing the public opinion in those parts of the country where you live. And nothing is more valuable. You will find that the greatest enemy you have to combat is ignorance (bear, hear)—and you will find that, just as ever since the world began, there have always been a lot of men who have looked out for an easy way to get their livelihood, so you will find to-day, until you have helped to succeed in dispelling that ignorance by which a large number of people obtain a profitable livelihood by exploiting and preying upon it. (Cheers.) We are mov ing along in this country-possibly in others, but certainly at home by a process of evolution into condi- tions and relations of life in industry and socially which will be very different from those that existed in the last cen- tury and in previous centuries. There is no prophet who can predict the ultimate
If you look at a doctrine which is being preached to-day in certain parts of the Continent, and even here the teaching of Communism, you will find that whatever else may be said about it, it is a system in which there can be no freedom as we understand that word in England. It is a system that can only be ordered by an iron discipline, and no system that requires an iron discipline is adapted to our people.
