AMAZING MENTALITY.

OF SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS % N.Z. AND BRITISH BEDS ANALYSED.

Respite Fineni.) No. J. In reading the vapouring* of the leaders of Socialistic and Communistic thought which arc dished up in the press day by day one is forced to marvel at tilt- a making mentality of these gentry and their cheek in asking anyone who is ti lover of freedom and has the least knowledge of human nature as the world is constituted to-day to tako what they say as gospel. I hey tell us they have a panacea for all human ills, hut what is it when it is closely examined from the human standpoint. Taking a hue of thought on the actions „f the Communists themselves (our Socialists and Labourites are nothing more nor less) they make one ill. A few weeks ago there appeared in the cable messages an item to the client that the break-up ol the British. Empire was essential hoi ore the workers would be able to proclaim tic great dav. Just why any decent-minded Britisher should wish for the break-up el the Empire is beyond lompreliension. What gain "ill there be tor the workers-absolutely none when il is taken into consideration that there are numerous nations around us who have llieii' optics, with cunning and covetous minds behind, focussed on our wonderful and glorious resources; yet our Socialists want to break down our tlelcncos to make us the slaves oi other nations who arc at the present time hiding their lights under a bushel— Bolshevism. They know that only by tin- smashing of the Empire will they !„- aide to hold the sons of Britain in perpetual bondage - and that linnd.igt*. will be far worse than the slavery our Red Feds prate about. Won't it he glorious to order an Englishman ah,nit, say they. Won’t il he glorious for Britishers to lick the hoots of a Russian, Negro or Chow: the latter especially would he tasty. PREACH INC OK PACIFISM. Our Red Feds who go about preaching nncil'tsni may be worthy ol admitatiim. but the matt who is only a paettisi I foil! a. national point of view is pretending to a loftiness of spirit he does not possess. We all know the kind of man who theoretically loves all mankind, hilt lie is. it "ill le louiul, i„ private life, full of dark suspicions and petty spite—a man who i> a paeilicisl because he is an anti-patriot and that Is why they believe in class war. Why the workers should he taken m by the grandiloquent and resounding phrases of these disgruntled fanatics, it is not easy of comprehension. WARPED MENTALITY. The preaching of pacifism abroad and hitter internal strife at lihme, all points to a warned mentality. Let. the British Reds and our Reds preach universal pone, but international peace wit 1 1 violt-nee at home does not seem mix. In reading the views of some of the ” Reds ” at Home it would seem that to love your enemies is to hate your friends, to love loreignei s is io bate your own kith and kin. and to love your class is to hate all otbei classes, which scents, on the lace ol it. a very rotten doctrine. WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARK. The latest example oi the British - R,.-ds ” mentality and their preaching ,i| ;i ,i international brotherhood, is given in a message in the ” Argils, from l.ondun. under date ol September •j;t|-i!. " liiell States : - ('i -a 1 incut a 1 producers are no" seiaii! .: Ihe opportunity io enter I lie British markel. ’I In- ( out menial shippers are .-Matching cargoes tor Australia and New Zealand, expecting to obtain proHtnble ret urn cargoes to a hungry market. Tin- probably would cun I lie them to retain a p I I ion of the trade permanent lv. thereby ousting many British seamen.
