CHRISTIANITY AND THE LABOUR PARTY
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir, —I should be obliged if you would let me : reply to the .rather curious statements made by “Minor Prophet,” and in particular to his assertion that the poor Indian who gives a part of his scanty portion of rice in order to help the starving Chinese is a more advanced thinker than Karl Marx. Karl Marx, who will be remembered in the distant future as one of the greatest thinkers of all time and as one of the greatest contributors towards human progress and well-be-ing, is probably the first and outstanding example of the new Communist man, who gives his whole life, not for personal benefit, but for the benefit of
the working class and humanity as a whole, and who subordinates his whole personal life to the movement of which he is a part.—Yours, etc.,
' S H BECK. Rangfora, September 18, 1938.
[Subject to the right of reply of ‘.‘Polemic,” this correspondence is now closed. —Ed., “The Press.’?]
