Colectivist predecessors. Their system of balances

of freedom, the possibility of personal initiative and
the opportunity for beneficial experiments
Sef.government in work is the most important
of all the forms of freedom that have to be con.

most closely, and because, owing to this, it is the
best way of arousng his political consciousness

But in addition to freedom in work there is of

this will be secured by the shortening of hours which
more efficient methods will render possible At pres

during the struggle those ideals of individual liberty
without which socialist society, if created would
be stereoyped and unproessive and lifeless Liberty
and war not compatible, yet an extension Of
liberty is of the professed aims of socialists: col
lective liberty in work through self-government IN
industry; individual liberty outside work through
the shortening of hours The relative merits of diff
ferent forms of socialism, and Of different tactics for
securing socialism, can be judged by capacity to
secure these ends.
Socialism, no doubt, like capitalism, will be a
phase in human development, succeeded by some
thing of which we do not yet foresee The nature,
perhaps by anarchism. 1t would be fatal to future
progress if Socialism established itself, like the
Church after Constantine prosecuting orthodoxy
lettering the human spirit, and delaying progress
for thousand years Such result is not impossible,
especially if the victory of Socialism is brought
about by military means at the end of long and
disastrous wars. For this reason, if for no other,
the victory of Socialism by peaceful means is i'm
measurably to be desired
Every strong conception Of human life tends
to pass through three phases. In the first, it is
amiable, humanitarian, persuasive, seeking to con-
vince by argument rather than by force. In the
second phase, having acquired certain strength,
and reused opposition of certain fierceness, it
ceases to be amiable and becomes militant iustifying
its mihtancy by the belief, inherited from the
amiabe phase, that its victory will bring the mil
lenium. In the third phase, having acquired power
it becomes oppressive and cruel Christianity exhibit
ed the first Of these phases down TO the time of
Constantine; in the Crusades it exhibited the second
in the Inquisition it exhibited the third Capitalism
has passed through similar phases. In Adam Smith,
Golden and Bright, we its amiab!e phase In its
overthrow of feudal institutions it exhibited its
and the antisocalist reign of terror, we see its
third, yrannical phase. The thing has happened
as regards Nationalism, though here the rate of
development is different in different nations accord
ing to their strength Mazzin exhibited its amiable
phase, Bismarck its militant phase, and modern
Imperialism its tyrannical phase
Socialism has passed. with the accession of Lenin,
from the amiabe to the militant stage In passing
it has lost much Of its .attrS ssnsss for certain
types of mind There are those who feel acutely
the evils of the existing world and desire ardently
the existence of world free from these evils,
who yet shrink from the stern conflict which is in
strong sympathy with such men. I observe that,
in the course of a conflict, every ideal becomes
degraded, and that the forcible victory of party
is invariably accompanied by loss of the greater
part of what made their victory desirable. And
violent conflict in ITSELF especially when it is pro

the force of nationalism By nationalism the
determination to secure the interests of ones own
nation at no matter what cost to other nations and
the belief that the interests of different nations
essentially antagonstic rather the hatred of other
nations of which this belief is rationazed express
sion In all the new States which have been created
by the Peacy Treaty. nationasm in this appears
to be absolutely dominant Most of them would rather
kill their neighbors and starve, than live in plenty
at the cost of friendly relations with races whom
they hate This attitude of mind is partly instructive
partly the result of education and propaganda which
probably cannot be eradicaed at all quickly except
by the of force, in preventing hostilities pro-
noting freedom of trade, and setting up new kind
of education. The League of Nations with its legacy
of hatreds is quite incapable of performing this
work International Socialism alone of all the forces
in the world, can really alter the mentality of
belicose populations I do not say that even Inter
national Socialism can achieve this quickly, but do
say that, if it in power it could achieve it in
the course of a generation, since what it has to
combat is instinct and tradition, very palpably con.
trary to sefinerest, and what it has to substitute
is generous ideal from which the enormous majority
of the population would derive material genefit.
In spite of the serious difficulties and problems
which Socialism will have to face if it becomes
dominant, I firmly convinced that it is the
necessary next stage in the worlds progress if the
to survive in any degree. believe, ALSO that the
degree of good it can accomplish depends upon the
degree of generous hope in those who bring it about
If the evils that flow from economic exploitation are
thoroughly realized, and the new world that can
result from its complete abolition is vvidly desired,
force will be generated sufficiently strong
to dethrone nationalism from mems hearts; and
it is nationalism alone, in Europe and Asia, that
enables capitalism to preserve its power for evil.
With natonalism removed idealism and selfinterest
alike would prompt the enormous majority of the
toIal Socialism, and adopted, this system would
be stable through its palpable advantages, and
through the fact that there would be no class with
obvious interest in overthrowing it.
Freedom, democracy, peace, efficient production
and economic justice, come through International
Socialism and cannot come, so far as can see, in
any other way. But although Socialism may bring
these things, it is not certain it will do SO. Whether
it brings them or not will depend largely upon the
manner of its advent, upon the fierceness of the
struggle, and upon the temper of the victor.
I think that own country, especially through
the guild idea, has very definite contribution TO
make in the transitional time think that we can
effect the transformation without violence and that
do more than any other country to keep alive
