I. speak of the /financial situation of the comary, your country and mind, but I •ask you to remember that tha 1 em speaking also of your, own, pers.omal financial posi- tion. Disorderly national finan'ce and ireividaal pros.petityvdo not usually run together. If the country is, not well governed, the _home suffers. You are the' People Who pay.
