Excerpt from The New Outlook
Finally, there is the Irish nightmare. In that unhappy country we seem to be no nearer a settle ment than we were before. True, the Irish are materially prosperous. True, they enjoy all, and more than all, the advantages enjoyed by the English. True, Government after Government has exhausted itself in trying to remedy Irish grievances, real and imaginary. But nevertheless the broad fact remains that politically the Irish hate us, and never miss an opportunity of railing at and injuring the British Empire both at home and abroad.

Excerpt from The New Outlook
No one who has recently discussed social or political questions with any of our fellow-countrymen can have failed to notice a deep underlying feeling of irritation and disappointment. It pervades all classes, and though its expression takes different forms, it all comes back to this: We hoped for a changed world ; we were told that the Armistice was the beginning of a new era; poverty, overcrowding, ignorance, preventable disease were to be driven out with the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns; England was to be made a land fit for heroes. But in fact everything is much the same as before. Wages are higher, but so are prices and taxes. We see the same old disputes between capital and labour. Poverty and disease, overcrowding and insanitary dwellings, are as bad as or worse than they were before; and heroes must be easily satisfied if this is all that can be done for them.
Nor is the outlook abroad at all more comforting. A year after the Armistice wars and rumours of wars are still distracting Europe. British troops are, or till very recently were, still engaged in Russia, in the Caucasus, in Syria, in Mesopotamia, in Persia.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a prescient analysis of the social, economic, and political challenges facing Britain after the First World War. The author delves into the complexities of class struggle, industry, finance, Parliament, and Ireland, arguing that the path to progress lies in collaboration, mutual respect, and a commitment to resolving conflict through peaceful negotiation. The book is not a mere historical document; it is a profound reflection on the nature of conflict and the possibilities for coexistence. The author, an experienced statesman, brings a wealth of practical insight to his exploration of the early 20th century's most pressing issues. The book's analysis of class struggle and the need for a cooperative approach to industry remains as relevant today as it was a century ago. The author's call for a more just and equitable society resonates with contemporary concerns about economic inequality and social unrest. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex forces shaping Britain after the First World War, making it an indispensable read for anyone interested in history, politics, or the ongoing struggle for social justice.
