A TURNING POINT ?

With intent I have headed this article "A National Crisis." I have done so not in the alarmist sense but because I believe that we have just about come to the turning point when there has come to the nation, and perhaps even to the Government, a clearer recognition of some of the main causes of industrial and financial depression so far as this country is concerned, and almost everything will now depend upon the action taken by the Government and the extent to which such action is supported by the whole country.
