"ANARCHY"
Sir,-In your leader "No Means Yes" you express-the desire for "the speediest delivery of the world from Anarchy," This is definitely a misnomer, as the world at present i$ far from the Utopian state. Had it reached" it, there would certainly be no war to-day. Let me quote Havelock Ellis. "The word Anarchist, invented by Proudhon in 1840, and since so employed, is yet not a happy name, It suggests a disorganised rebellion: against all government, and it is not | surprising that to the vulgar mind ‘Anarchist’ often means ‘criminal,’ and still less surprising that the common criminal is often pleased to dub himself ‘Anarchist.’ But the people called Anarchists, outside criminal circles, are not in favour of disorganisation nor of the rejection of Government, What they seek to maintain. is organisation from within rather than from without; and self-government rather than government by others."
