» "The Busiest Person Is the Happiest Person," Says the Marquess of Lon- = donderry "Industrial revival and future econ- omic security depend upon work-- hard work on the part of all engaged In industry, whether employer or em- ployee. This means a little re-educa- tion fol most of us upon the important /question, 'Why do we work'?" "Upon the answer to this question depends the Industrial future of our country, and the welfare of millions of homes," writes the Marquess of Londonderry in a little booklet, To- 'wards Industrial ~~ Statesmanship. "Without thinking very deeply, most of us would answer unhesitatingly: "To get money, of course!' "But that is quite wrong. No one works for money really. We all work for what money will buy--food, clothes and pleasure. Neither a five-pound note nor a shilling would be of any earthly use if we could not obtain in exchange for it those things which will satisfy our daily needs. The Hurly-Burly of Modern Industry "This fact is not sufficiently ap- preciated in the hurly-burly of modern industry, vet it i: fundamental to the revival of industry. We cannot live without work, and as it is the chief de- sire of most people to attain a far highe. standard of living, it can come only through harder and more intelli- gent work by all classes. I say all .a~:. deliberately, for successful in- dustry is a co-operative effort, and if one department slacks or is unintelli- gent, the whole of that industry suf- fers. "When people save money, it is genérally for. what they can get at some future date in exchange for their sayings. One often hears the young artisan say he is 'saving-up to get married.' This means he is working harder to earn more money, which he hopes to spend in exchange for a home. "Another {llusion which must be dis- pelled before we can lay a better and surer foundation for industrial revival is that work is an affliction. It is nothing of the sort. Out food, clothes, pleasure, home and all the social and domestic conveniences we enjoy to- day are the result of work, Without them our affliction would be great in deed. "Success in any industry is the re- sult of hard work, and those who shared the work must have thought it anything but an affliction or they would have failed. "To think and to teach that work is an affliction, is to fill the mind with economic poison. Along this path will not be found the money necessary to buy the things with which to carry on life; nor the health and happiness which accompany work as by-products, We shall find, however, a great num- ber of disgruntled: people, extremists in thought and purpose, who believe and preach work to be an affliction, and cause industrial unrest, but who would very soon revolt if the farmer, the baker, the tailor, the railwayman, the doctor, the printer, refused to work. 3 "Work, and all kinds of it, is the normal, healthy state of mankind. Real happiness does not come without work, our own in combination with that of others. We must work to live at all; and even if the element of money had no existence we should have to work just as hard, for work is®essentjal to life. a Try and Find Out "The busiest person is the happiest person, while the man whose work is truly hard is the much-envied luxuri- ous idler, who is always on the look- out for 'something to do.' "The whole matter is one of the cor- rect attitude towards work, which is neither an affliction nor a mere means for procuring money. Work done in the spirit of its being an affliction must always be our worst work and cannot sell to advantage in the world's markets. That would mean increased unemployment, low wages, and pov- erty for the nation. "If the gold mines of the world petered out we should still have to work in spite of the fact. We work to serve others by what we produce, as they serve us, The miner hews coal that the baker might bake into bread what the farmer has grown, gold being merely a means of ex- change by which the miner, the baker and the farmer can buy each other's services. ' "Industrial peace and all that it means to the worker in wages, homes, | education, and pleasure, can come when both sides pull together. Em- ployer and employed have to work, probably harder {han at present, on "account of their service in some form or other to their country.
