APPENDIX VI 241 



be other than a man who chooses farming because he hkcs its 

 outdoor life and the sport that is in it. We want all the brains 

 we can get into agriculture as well as capital. We want men 

 to go into farming not because it is a pleasant, healthy life, 

 but because they can make money out of it. Lastly, we want 

 landowning to be regarded, not as a luxury, but as a business 

 requiring as much study and energy as any other profession. 

 In conclusion, Lord Selborne appealed to all political 

 parties, whatever their views on the land question previous 

 to the war might have been, to study the question afresh in 

 the light of the experience obtained from the war, so that 

 when the war was over, while it was hopeless to expect that 

 we should all be agreed what the attitude of the State towards 

 agriculture must be as to particular measures, we should at 

 least be all agreed that there must be a complete recasting of 

 agricultural life.
