MULTI MILLIONAISES OF WHAT WOULD

HAPPEN.

The fallacy of the State ownership of capital, one of the leading Bocialist doctrines, is vigorously exposed in articles by the world's greatest millionaires, Mr. John D. Rockefeller and Mr. Andrew Carnegie, in the Christmes number of the World's Work.

There is a striking-imilarity in the arga mants of both though Mr. Carnegie develops his theme more fully,

All that the millionaire can get out of life is superior food, raiment and shelter," says Mr. Carnegie "Only a small, a very small, percent of all his millions can be absolutely wasted, When the Socialist, therefore, speaks of all wealth going back to the State, he proclaims no great change in its mission. The State, pole owner, would use it inat as the owners now use all bat a fraction of it: that is invest it in some of the multiformd ways leading to the reward of labour.""

Mr. Carnegie supposes that a philanthropist has decided to not on the Socialist ideal of this tributing

his wealth equally among the poor. He gives his money to the crowding thousands, and returns at night to see the result, and Rinddare at the vision that Frasents itself.

"Are there indeed men and women, or only degraded wretches in a human form?" he asks. “Is it not evident to all that the first and indie pariabla work of the Socialist is the elevation of humanity to that standard of conduct which would ensure the wise and sober use of benefac Kions?

£70 FOR EACH PERSON.

"Imagine," Mr. Carnegie says, “every man, woman, and child in Britain receiving £70, which is one's proportion of the national wealth if equally divided.

What would be the result Saturnalia for a time, then rich and poor as before slowly emerging, the lost state worse than the first,

"It is self-evident that there is at present no foundation on which wealth can be aqually distributed."

He emphasises the point that only competence is desirable, and wealth non-asental

The article must have been written before Stir Christopher Furness ontlined his schemas of operation, for Mr. Carnegie presents the idea of profit-sharing as a solution for the pressing problem, of the age.

"Co-partnership," he says, "tends to bring & realising sense of the truth to both labour and ospital that their interests, broadly considered, are mutual."

Mr. Rockefeller's views coinolls with Mr Carnegie's.

While men of with control great runs of подел

says the richest man in the world, they

do not and cannot use them for themselves "Up to the present time no scheme has yet presented itself which seems to afford a better method of handling capital than that of individual ownership,

We might put out money into the Treuenry of the nation and of the various States, but we do not find any promise in the national or State Logislatures, viewed from the acperiences of the past, that the funds would be expended for the general weal more effectively titan ander the present methods, nor do we knd in any of the schemes of Becialism a promise that wealth would be more wisely administered for the general good."

DISCOVERIES IN TURKESTAN

There was a large attendance at the Theatre, Burlington gardens, Landon W., on the 30th ult, at a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society convened to hear a lecture from Dr. A. von Le Coq, respecting the discoveries in Chinese Turkestan of the Royal Prussian Expedition which he conducted there in 1904-07.

Lord Reay, the president, was in the chair, and in introducing the lecturer referred to the importance of his discoveries, and to his great bravery in saving under almost insuperable difficulties and with great risk and privation on his own part, the life of Captain Sherer, of the Royd Garrison Artillery, in October, 1906, an exploit which had soared for him the proud distinction of being the first winner of the gold medal of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem
