Had there been jobs enough for all we would have taught our trade to all.

But in self-protection we thought of our own mouths first.

All down the generations my family has been face to face with the problem of bread.
My Grandfather Davies, held a skilled job at the blast furnace where iron was made for the rolling mill in which my father was a puddler.
Grandfather Davies had been to Russia and had helped the Russians build blast furnaces, in the days when they believed that work would make them wealthy.

Had they stuck to that truth they would not be a ruined people to-day.

Grandfather also went to America, where his skill helped build the first blast furnace in Maryland.
