It always had a chance. And where one sees a bit of courage, there's no understanding; and where there's some understanding, there's absolutely no courage. It's hopeless, you know--it would be far best if they'd all give it up, and try a new line. (JOB ARTHUR: I don't think they will.) No, I don't, either. They'll make a mess and when they've made it, they'll never get out of it. They can't--they're too stupid. (JOB ARTHUR: They've never had a try yet.) They're trying every day. They just simply couldn't control modern industry--they haven't the intelligence. They've no LIFE intelligence. The owners may have little enough, but Labour has none. They're just mechanical little things that can make one or two motions, and they're done. They've no more idea of life than a lawn-mower has.
