LABOUR MINISTER AND ·
SOCIALISM.
WAGE SLAVERY' NONSENSE.,
Mr. William Graham, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, has written a sane, shrewd, and careful study of the wage question in his book, The Wages of Labour" (just published, Caswell, 28- 6.) He is no extremist and his con- clusions are most instructive, even though some of them appear debatable.
He has an belief in Marx's theories.
The masses, be says, are not in "procras of progressive degradation for the ag grandisement and enrichment of the
fow.'
The number of Alrict Marxinos in Great Britain," he remarks. ia com- paratively small, and they are so acutely divided among themselves in theoretical issues that they have very little time to take notion of the world."
It is not true to talk of wage-slaves'' The slaves have political been use
the franchise. they them: power -in selves own taillions of pounds worth of capital, and if freedom has not been won a considerable measure of responsibility for that must rest upon the shoulders of those who are still in bondage.'
{I
He is not much, enamoured of Stale Socialism: The numbers who 'now' ad- rocate State Socialism are comparatively zmati. Even if it were capable of very effective decentralisation, it would still be inapplicable to British industrial conditions.
He favours the guild organisation 2p- plied to industry. But it must be point. ed out that the attempt to apply it so far, in the building trade has not been successful, and that (as Mr. Graham very fairly and frankly says) its danger fies in the conscious or unconscious in- troduction of syndicalist "principle.".
Our public schools are at last begin ning to send a steady trickle of young men into the big West-End stores.-Mr. P. A. Best.
