His fundamental position is that the Great Father has given in the land an ample estate for all, and that the few who claim it for themselves to the exclusion of others are guilty of injustice. The want that festers in our centres is not the fault of God. It is only from the land that men can live. The first human being who came here was a naked man. In his powers lay the potentiality of all that has since been produced.
Land is the passive factor in production, as man is the active factor.
Now, suppose the land is made the property of a part of the people. We will have wealth on one side and poverty on the other. Slavery claimed the right to make one man work for another, without giving him an equivalent. This is what the landlord does. When I am forced to give my labour for that which God has created, that is robbery.
