P It is said that causes are not wrecked by being blown up, but by being sat upon. As a movement we are simply being sat on by Cabinet, by Parliament, by Govermnem' Departments, their Committees and Commissions. (hear, hear.) It may be one of the ways of making our domestic democracy impossible. But, if I know anything of the new Spirit of our movement, it is the least likely to succeed. Our methods may have led them to believe we were a sub servient. Peace-loving people of no political importance a people content to play at revolutionising society and creating a new social order by shopkeeping for each other. If that is their only reading, they have misread as badly. (hear, hear.) Having so read us, we will show them another photograph of ourselves which may prove of interest.
