T'he Rest Of the Community Is
/ Nineteenth Century

Sharply contrasted with this body stands
the remaining half of the community still
constituted as in the nineteenth century
and representing Old England. 1t includes
the whole of the propertied classes, the
learned professions, the trading and agri-
cultural interests, and the wage-earners in
the industries which have not yet beep
taken over by the state, Of which agricult-
ure, the textile industries of Lancashire.
and the earthenware industry of Stafford
shire are the most important 1t therefore
includes every extreme of wealth and pow
erty, down to the limit of 25s per week
now guaranteed TO agricultural laborers.
The total nominal income Of its members
is considerably greater than that Of the
Labor Nation, but when interpreted in
terms Of family consumption it Is much
smaller. We must distinguish between It's
richer and its poorer members, and for the
sake of easy comparison we may FIX the
standard of wealth at family income OF
$3.50 per annum. Those families whose in
tisan are subject to many claims from
which the artisan is exempt, and since
the beginning of the war have generally
subjected their domestic expenditure 70
severe restriction. The great majority in
this nation are actually poorer than the
average member of the Labor Nation. But,
whether richer or poorer, all who belong to
this nation are distinguished from the
other bv their attachment 10 individual
istic theories, their saving habits, their
lack of organization. and their willing sub
mission TO the authority Of Parliament ard
to the government Of the day.
Such being the actual constitution OF So
ciety. it is impossible to accept the theory
Of the opposition between the proletariat
and the cspitalistic state even as a work
ing hypothesis. The wage-earners who are
enrolled under the banner Of labor are IN
no sense a proletariat. They are well
educated, well fed, and conscious of power.
The state, on the other hand, cannot justly
be described as capitalistic because 1t stu
allows those who formerly owned capital
lied industries to draw pensions. Capitol
ism has, in fact, been dethroned in Eng
land as completely as landlordism in Ire
land. The supreme authority Of the state
is at present concentrated in the War
Cabinet; and though the historian may be
puzzled to describe accurately its geness
or its basis, it is unquestionably supported
by the great majority Of British citizens
Of both sections of the nation, and even
those who dispute its claims propose no
substitute for it. Therefore in the prac-
teal programme of the revolutionary
movement the phrase until the capitalists
state is destroyed" means until the
national authority is overthrown." The
theory does not admit Of the continued
existence either of the British nation or Of
any final authority within it: and this is

Nritain Is Sharply Divided
ID Into Two Camps

!. It is no longer true, If ever it was 50,
Nat our society is based upon the two
constituents of capital and labor, Of which
capital governs and exploits, while labor
creates and suffers. The people of Great
Britain are, however, somewhat sharply
divided into two parts or nations Of almost
equal size, each counting some four
million families. The nation of organized
labor has a fairly simple structure. 1t is
composed Of well-to-do wage-earners, hav-
ing each a weekly income which ranges
generally within the limits Of two and five
pounds, though the latter sum is consider
ably exceeded In many cases. All this
nation is socialistic in its theories, and
gives its practical allegiance to the power
vaguely defined as labor; it has no an
disputed leaders or supreme governing
authority, but is swayed from time to time
| by gusts Of opinion or by the concerted
kction Of a few schemers. It's gross in
come al the outbreak Of the war may be
roughly reckoned at 96O0,000,000 per
snnum, and since then (as reckoned In
money!, it has increased by about two

Their example was seized upon by the
revoutionists as an argument for similar
proft-making on the part 'of the wage
earning classes, under the name Of war
bonuses. The grounds given were plaus-
ible, and the appeal to the individual
wage-earner was irresistible. Thus be-
gan movement which has since attained
dangerous dimensions. There Is little
reason to draw any distinction between
the individual members Of the two nations
on the ground of their moral qualities; on
both sides there has been self-devotion,
and on both sides self-seeking. TO praise
or blame whole classes because Of the ac-
tions Of their individual members is un-
reasonable and unjust. But we cannot
blind ourselves to the actual results which
have been developed by circumstances. In
the Individualist Nation the self-devotion
has been organized, the self-seeking re-
pressed, by public opinion finally express
ing itself In law and acts OF government;
in the Labor Nation II has been otherwise
At the end of three years the contrast
can no longer be disguised.

THE Military Burdens Are Not
l Equally Distributed

The threefold burden Of the war-mil-
itary service, industrial effort and per-
sonal thrift-falls on the two sections o.
the nation with unequal weight. Military
service, both voluntary and compulsory,
has drained dry the Individualist Nation,
taking away not only those who could
thus serve their nation best, but thous-
ands of those who should to-day be at
home; men Of special skill or organizing
talent on the one hand, the distressed, the
sick, and the unfit on the other. The
Labor Nation has contributed, in proper
ton TO It's numbers, but little. There are,
of course, considerable exceptions on both
sides. Thus, agricultural laborers, though
belonging to the individualistic section,
have been to large extent relieved from
compulsory military service In the ma
tional interest; and railway workers,
though belonging TO the Labor Nation,
have through their corporate good will
contributed their full quota to the army
Neither the original movement for volun,
tary enlistment nor exceptions such as
these can affect the broad fact that the
four million members Of the Labor Nation
have in fact established a general i'm
munity from military service within their
