If there is to be any hope of prosperity for this country it is by reversing that policy which made us simply the kitchen garden for supplying the British with cheap food.
The economic and social problems would tend to become, like the military situation, more and more difficult as time went on and we became more and more isolated.
We, of our time, have played our part in the perseverance, and we have pledged ourselves to the dead generations who have preserved intact for us this glorious heritage, that we, too, will strive to be faithful to the end, and pass on this tradition unblemished.
We hope that the plain people - the labourers and small farmers - will take this opportunity of coming together and working out the National programme.
It is indeed hard for the strong to be just to the weak, but acting justly always has its rewards.
We cannot afford idleness, waste or inefficiency.
