Society unbalanced . . .

Mr. Combs told us how through his sixty-odd years of working in New Zealand, he had come to the inevitable conclusion that our social set-up was lopsided. He compared society with a boat in which a very fat man sat on one side causing such a list that the water was coming in. Common-sense drove the other people in the boat to the other side to prevent the boat sinking. Similarly, capitalism has almost sunk society, and common-sense is driving the people to the other side—to Socialism—to save society.
