FALSE DOCTRINES.
Nor should it be difficult to explain to the mass of the people what is equally true, namely, that without economy in the National Expenditure and without the putting forth of the maximum amount of effort by the entire community, it will be impossible even to maintain the present standards of living. I know that Socialist agitators are proclaiming every day that there is plenty of money for all social services, and that the State could afford to pay out much more and that Credit could be expanded, &c., &c., but those statements are contrary to the truth, and truth is stronger than fiction and must prevail. The trouble is that the Economic Evangelists are too often as afraid to proclaim the absolute truth of their message as exponents of something higher than economic truths are sometimes afraid to deal faithfully with the gospel they are called upon to proclaim.
