To arrive at the expression of a creed of universal social responsibility had called for moral courage of a high order; but to take the next step of implementing the duty to create a society wherein the principle would be viable, required imagination and determination of an equal intensity. The ultimate aim of the little group that propounded it was the creation of a Good Society, but they were totally in the dark as to how this was to be achieved. The improvement of the individual was an age-old topic, but the very idea of developing the quality of life of a community as the target of social reform was barely comprehensible—it was almost as a by-product that they laid down the guidelines of community development. These were pioneers, constant as to the direction in which they wanted to move, but with everything to learn about how to achieve their aim.

With all my experience as a politician, of persuading the human race to proceed along the road to social change, my mind boggles at the magnitude of the task these pioneers set themselves.
