P It is said that causes are not wrecked by being blown up, but by being sat upon. As a movement we are simply being sat on by Cabinet, by Parliament, by Govermnem' Departments, their Committees and Commissions. (hear, hear.) It may be one of the ways of making our domestic democracy impossible. But, if I know anything of the new Spirit of our movement, it is the least likely to succeed. Our methods may have led them to believe we were a sub servient. Peace-loving people of no political importance~ a people content to play at revolutionising society and creating a new social order by shopkeeping for each other. If that is their only reading, they have misread as badly. (hear, hear.) Having so read us, we will show them another photograph of ourselves which may prove of interest.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the Co-operative Union Ltd. in England through the lens of an emergency conference held in October 1917. The conference took a hard look at the Union's relationship to the government, revealing the tension between the collective efforts of cooperatives and the self-serving interests of private enterprise. Tensions mounted between co-ops and the government due to the latter's complete unwillingness to recognize the former's right to fair access to government resources. Moreover, the government's failure to involve co-ops in decision-making and resource allocation led to widespread inefficiencies and hardship that could have been avoided. This book provides valuable insights into the ongoing need for cooperation among collective entities and serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of accessibility and fairness.
