MORDEN SYSTEM ..........The ultimate resource of a nation is its people. Unless this resource is employed for the benefit of the nation, unless the latent good which it represents is exploited to the maximum extent for the common good, the nation will languish, poor in spirit, lacking in achievement. But no people can make their full contribution to the life of the nation to which they owe allegiance unless they possess and enjoy those few fundamental prerequisites indispensable to rendering their participation in the affairs of their country both possible and significant. The growth of a people is complex and inter-related. Man must be educated: he can not come to grips with or cope with or understand the morden world enless he has been taught about it. He must be assured of a minimum economic security: he cannot concern himself with matters going beyond the day-to-day satisfaction of his physical needs unless he is fed and clothed and sheltered, nor can he acquire a sufficient degree of social consciousness to the good of the nation and the development of its society. Freedom , Liberty , the rights of man_these mean little to the ignorant, the hungry, the ill clothed, the badly housed. Taken from SELECTED SPEECH OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY HAILE SELASSIE I.
