Then He "Cut Loose"

u decided TO cut the painter and
-evote my life to the cause OF the
people. one thing in England i'm
pressed me very deeply. and that was
the condition Of the people who owned
no land. The whole country found
TO be in the hands OF a very few
people. Ny business dealings had
shown me the absolute rottenness OF
-andlordism. and land speculation
Looking on these matters from the in
side felt that I could no longer allow
myself 10 be connected with them.
When I took the resolve to quit
lie game gave all my property into
the hands OF a friend, and then left
the whole business. I should say the
property abandoned was worth about
So5o.OOO. I decided then to devote my
Efe to trying to obtain some OF the
land for the people. There are vast
tracts OF land in England which are
not under cultivation at all: and be-
sides this upward Of 10000 acres a
year so out OF cultivation for sporting
purposes. that IS. for shooting and
ashing and for deer parks made by

Purpose OF Hunger March.

My main idea in the Hunger March
is this: If we can get say 1000 men
marching about the country and agi-
tating we are sure 70 make an impress
sion on the authorities in time The
people themselves will have a species
OF grand holiday at the best season
OF the year. We are taking our men

as Hastings. Bexhiu. Brighton. and
elsewhere and the process Of educa-
ton is going on. Wherever We 90 Ee
find the public sympathetic, though OF
course, the police and the authorities
are generally opposed In London.
several prominent persons have al
ready come TO speak from our plat
form. and we think the plan We have
adopted OF giving the voorhees, men
and women a grand national holiday
at the public expense, very effective
way OF calling attention 10 the IN
employed problem

These include many Of the most vizor-
Gus and capable wOrkmen the world
has ever seen. Vast tracts OF fertile
land lie idle. EnEland-s cultivated
area IS the only enc IN the world that
has decreased during the last twenty
i've years. Her land and climate and
