Let Us Proportion Our Alms

Any Proposals For The Future, While They Should Use To The Full The Experience Gathered In The Past, Should Not Be Restricted By Consideration Of Sectional Interests Established In The Obtaining Of That Experience. Now, When The War Is Abolishing Landmarks Of Every Kind, Is The Opportunity For Using Experience In A Clear Field. A Revolutionary Moment In The World's History Is A Time For Revolutions, Not For Patching.

Let Us Proportion Our Alms To Our Ability, Lest We Provoke God To Proportion His Blessings To Our Alms.

The State In Organising Security Should Not Stifle Incentive, Opportunity, Responsibility, In Establishing A National Minimum It Should Leave Room And Encouragement For Voluntary Action By Each Individual To Provide More Than The Minimum For Himself And His Family.
