Excerpt from The Land and the Empire

These lectures were delivered as part of the Imperial Studies Series inaugurated by Lord Milner. My object in publishing them is to emphasise the need of a New Outlook.

It is to be hoped that this War has taught us that many of our old shibboleths must be given up: that after the War is over we must have a Government working whole-heartedly in the interests of the Empire and of the Nation, and not of a Party. Unless we can achieve this, it will not be possible for us to recuperate quickly.

On the Rural side there must be a New Outlook in regard to the land and its development - on the part of the Government, the landowners, and the farmers themselves. The Nation at large must realise and agree that it is right that the producers of food should receive a remunerative price for their produce. This can be achieved by the organisation and encouragement of the agricultural industry.

On the Urban side there is equal need of a New Outlook. It must be realised that never again shall this country be so dependent upon sea-borne food as it has been during the past fifty years.
