Abstract


The truth of this statement was well realisel by the industrial nations of the West a short while ago. During the last two centuries, western countries vied with one another in industrialising themselves. Industries sprang up in quick succession, resulting in the concentration of population in the cities. Villages were deserted. As a natural consequence, most of the lands had to remain fallow for want of culti- vators. These industrialised countries were getting their supplies of food from foreign countries. But when communications were inter- rupted during the War, these countries were threatened with starva- tion, as local production was absolutely insufficient for their needs. Then they began to raise the cry of back agriculture. They realised that it was necessary to give the most prominent place to agriculture in all their national enterprises.
