said
in
referring
to
the ad-
vent of a Labour
Government,
that
the
change
merely meant
that the

¢oun
try and
the old

will
still
2o

He spoke of the changes
in

as
a

revolution,
and
referring
to the fa:t
that
some
people
prcfessed
to
be
frightened
by
the
rise
of labour
to
power,
he
said.
‘‘The

appre-
hensive
was vour

exe2ption

fether.
They
were
the
least
disturbed
of
all
the
peop
2,
lest
disturbed,
because
they
were
most
wise.
They
were
wise
be-
cause
they
knew
their
pecple
better
than
otkers,
because
they
had
long
recogrized
that
patriotism,
love
of
the empi e,
serviee
and duty
were not the
gitt or monopoly of a class
or creed,
and
be rause
hey recognized
that there
were
men in n.ore
humble
circumstances,
de-
nied
the
opporturities
of
a
university
educatior,
whose
sense
of
du'y
ai
d
whose
lo e of country
were equal
to
any

of
