Excerpt from The Empire Review and Magazine, Vol. 27: February, 1914 Agriculture is our greatest industry. It is the most important of our industries. It is a national industry, and if the agricultural question is to be properly approached, it must be from the National and not from the Party standpoint. To go into the arena as a party politician, attacking one class and stirring up hatred in the villages of England - that may be worthy Of an agitator who stands at the reformer's tree in Hyde Park, but it is not worthy of the Chancellor of the British Exchequer.
