Synopsis

Excerpt from The Land and Its Problems We have been a land-ignorant race - and yet we are all dependent upon the land, the townsman as well as the countryman. It is not a question requiring the consideration and the votes of only the rural population; the urban population holds the predominant voting power. Therefore a sound land policy can only be hoped for when, in the first place, the townsman understands something about the land, and, secondly, when he is capable of thinking correctly about it. So this book is not intended in any way as a technical treatise on Agriculture; rather is the object to lay stress upon the vast importance of Land as our greatest Imperial and National asset, and to show that if the permanent consolidation of the Empire is to be achieved this can only be effected by giving the necessary care and thought to the development of our land resources. It is then essential for this purpose to consider the land of the Empire as a whole, rather than piecemeal in its different geographical parts. And inseparably interwoven with the Land problem is the human side - the question of the cultivator of the soil and the conditions under which he should live. This great twofold problem of the land and the people has never really received the consideration it should by the people of the Anglo-Saxon race. And herein lies the root of the evil.
