WILL-POWER IN BUSINESS

we are in the direct need of it. We are practi-
cally leaderless. .The so-called leaders are all
trying to save their own skins, instead of
saving the people who follow them.

What, then, will happen? There will be
new leaders. New men—strong men—decisive
men, will come to the front and take control.
In English and Scottish history, such men have
always come forward in the hour of danger.

There is no lack of such men to-day. There
has been no degeneracy among the plain people
of Great Britain. There has only been a
deterioration of leaders. Speaking only from
my own small experience, I could make a list
of one hundred Englishmen and Scotsmen,
all vastly abler and more reliable than the men
who are our leaders to-day.
The strong men, at the moment, are back
in the shadows of private life. They are not
in the limelight. They are not on the stage,
as they soon will be. As you will see, there
will be an entire change in leaders in this
island in the next ten years.

New men will take control of the trade
associations—those half-dead bodies which
have no more control over national affairs than
if they were flocks of blackbirds. They may
caw a bit, but nobody cares what they caw.
