NO EASY ROAD.
" I am wiihng to beoome a Bolshevist, or an Inflationist if I can bc persuaded that any of these panaceas can be made to operate to the advantage of manlrind. But I can diseover no instance where they have operated to the advantage of anyone but their chief protagonists. Famines never .empty the stomachs of the Stalins. Printing-press money. enriched the politicians in France, Germany and Austria, ruined the middle class, and left labour wondering how to get the hundreds of francs or millions of marks and kronen needed to buy dinner. " The happiest land and the highest civilisation is that in whiohi every capitalist is an tinhamp.ered labourer, and eVery' labourer a potential capitalist. Utopia is approached by degrees, not deorees — by the slow, toilsome improvement of the race. There never will be a Utopia of and for .weaknesf and shiftipssness.,,r=rChanning Pollock.
