In proposing the health of Sir Howard. Spicer Lord Hurahais said that this war was a Book of Revelation to the modern world. We had to re-assess the value of all races, all classes, and all types of men. He was glad to state that there was one type of man who had come out on top in this great time of testing, and that was the English man of business In this
(Cheers.) war the British merchant had aplendidly vindicated his reputation. He had shown that he had cat none of the old fibre and strength, but that he had added to them & vivacity and a vitality-The which had enabled him to be a saying part of the commonwealth. The British man of business had run the civil side of this war. If he had to select a type of the British man of business at his best ho should not go farther than Sir Howard Spice:. (Cheers.)
It was to his energy and initiative that the country owed the setting up of the manufacture of the protective machinery. against poison gas, which the Germans were foul enough to bring into play at the beginning in 1915.
His efforts met great success, and in that the
respect Army at present had an adequate amount of protection. He was sure that the men whose lives had thereby been saved would like to join in doing honour to Sir Howard. (Cheers.)
with
That was not Sir Howard's only claim. He had put himself in the forefront of the salvage movement, of which they had beard a good deal. For the last hundred years of our prosperity we had been a wasteful nation. A good deal had be done recently to recover what would otherwise have gone into the gutter. Though he had not achieved all be hoped. for, Sir Howard Spicer had been the inspiration of the now movement. He not only done a great work inoculating the War Office with the right by kind of bacillus, but had set a stent example to the industrial community. He was pleased to say that from his know- ledge of the world of business, whatever might be their rivalries, they were singu free from the debasing effects of personal jealousy. The spirit which animated the different classes in our in- dustrial life was never so good ax it was to-day. It was only a united country that could stand fast against the risks and ravages of the future. (Chears) In conclusion, Lord Burnham,
