Conférence internationale du service social… (1938)

“ Lord BLEDSLOE (Great Britain) proposing a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, said :— We are conscious that, as nations, we are all members of one family, and the social distress in one country cannot fail to affect the fortune of all. We are here to exchange views and experiences and to help each other to solve problems common to us all. Nowhere in the world is there a greater realisation than in Great Britain of the need for intensive and intensified social effort. As an old farmer and landlord, I am myself much interested in the development of new forms of social work in rural areas. ”
