Abstract:
On thinking over my subject I have found it necessary to
preface that part of my remarks which deals directly with the
application of co-operation to the Congested Districts, with a consideration of the people themselves and their economic
condition. If I repeat some truths which are antiquated, and
some facts you are already familiar with, in speaking of the
people and their circumstances, I hope you will not be wearied
before I come to the remedy which is at least novel in many of
its features. But in economic questions the essential factor
is always the human one. I am convinced that most economic
evils can be generally traced back to some defect in character
or some lack of knowledge on the part of those who suffer
from them.
