Community Enslaved
By Regency Council

During the World War the regency
council of the Jodhpur state passed
law making small community of
about $4,000 people called Raona
Rajputs practically slaves. In July,
1916, the law was promulgated under
which the master of the Raonas has
the absolute right of maintaining
them and extracting work from them;
of setting them free and calling them
back; of giving away the daughters
Of Raonas or whole families.
A meeting of the All-Indian Raona
Rajput conference sent a resolution Of
protest to the Maharajah of Jodhpur,
who recently returned from Europe,
stating:
1--WE hope that in view of your
recent visit to Europe with it's mod
ern institutions and activities, a
wider vision and spirit of equality
must have influenced you to bring
about this change in the gruesorne
practice of slavery in Marwar state"
The Italian Daily Mail of Bombay
says that it Is a disgrace to Jodhpur
and calls upon the maharajah to
abolish the system.

WHAT THE DOLE MEANS BY SIR PHILIP GIBBS
BY SIR PHILIP GIBBS

Every move Of those political theorists on
the SocaIstic side Is in the direction OF further
pauperization, and further decentralization OF
the nation by the extension of does and the
support of idleness. Surely. there is a better
alternative than that? Surely, our people VINO
have decent pride and natural honesty ana
rather. splendid traditions are not going to be
satisfied by this weak and dishonest philosophy
of life?
x X X X
There is something better than living
wage without work, or very little work. 1t is
more than living wage, very much more
than living wage-~in return for harder work.
That is a practical possibility within their
reach now.
In the United States it is the source of pros
perity astounding to 1t is the instructive
purpose in the mind of the American Nation
and all it's individuals. They scorn the idea
of living wage. an invald's cushion to lie
back on in miserable idleness and the state
supported Wretchedness.
They don't despise capital they want more
of it for each man. They want to raise the
standard of life all around, not by the lowest
common denominator of public charity, but by
high wages for every man who will put his
back into his job. and not lie down on it,
They know the secret of 1t, which is very
simple. 1t is to increase output by mass pro-
duction, by saving costs, efficient machinery
and ceaseless competition, to think out new
ideas in every branch OF an industry or trade
Labor saving devices, not TO make men lazy,
but to make them quicker, share Of the
profits that every man is keen to get more
out of his job. A combination of brains, as
well as muscles that more goods are pro-
duced, more markets gained, more wages paid.
That spirit is the only thing to my mind
that can help England now. 1t may not be
the highest form of spirituality. 1t may lead.
as it does, to inequalities of wealth, a type OF
civilization which is, in many respects, hard
and unbeautful; but it is great deal better
anyhow that this creeping, crawling, philoso-
ply of weakness which is put out by Socialis-
tic theories who would like to see every one
subsidized by the state, the poor living COM
fortably at the expense of the rich, the un-
profitable trades at the expense of those which
pay ard need to worry work or no work.
They fail to say what is going to happen
when The state-you and I-are bankrupt, and
when the rich poor and on the dole Are
they fools or liars these little theorists?

goods and able to afford them. At the
present time that is not the case. There are
a million men out OF employment supported
on the dole. If there happened to be new
wave of industrial stagnation there might be
another million and dead loss in national
revenue owing to their lack OF output.
But If our national revenue dropped below
a certain point 1t would not be a question of a
living wage for ALL but more pressing prob
lem of how to feed our population of uneni-/
ployed.
Nationally, therefore, this question of liv-
ing wage depends utterly on trade prosperity.
But there is a moral aspect of the problem
which is equally important. If a man is to be
guaranteed a living wage whether he works
or not it is highly probable that large numbers
of men will not work, work slackly, or not
be at all keen to find work. That is no insult
to the working classes It is common quality
of human nature in all classes of society and
through all the ages.
Work is not a natural instinct. especially
hard physical work 1t needs sef-discipline
some spur Of necessity behind one, some strong
driving impulse, which is generally the urgent
need to provide food and house room for wife
and children.
Over and over again / have seen men of
brilliant promise fade out into futility because
they have just enough income to lack the spur
of hard necessity. They become dawdlers and
dilettant. They waste time. They have no
urgent and immediate purpose. They become
demoralized weak and without ambition.
Stevedores at the docks not going to
work until their backs ache If there is living
wage for those who can dodge it. Coal miners
would be fools to take the risk and suffer the
hardships of their toll if uneconomical pits
were shut down because Of high wages which
would be paid all the same to those who ceased
work and went on the dole.
In every industry in the country there
would unconscious
up wages or limit output until there could be
no profit when all the workers would be dis
missed and enjoy a eisured life on a living
wage, guaranteed by Socialistic state.
That l am afraid is the idea back Of this
proposal--not in the hearts of those who are
honest and sentimental, men thinking in terms
of abstract justice and not thinking very much
in the minds of men who know perfectly well
what would be the actual result of such prn
ciple applied to this social system of ours.

Soviet Bar to Early

There Is now only one reason why
passports cannot be generally abol-
ished and people cannot travel freely
again from one country to another as
they did before the war. That reason
is Soviet Russia, with it's international

IN HE Independent Labor Party has been
having jolly time criticizing their par
lamentary leaders-who going too
slow they think for ardent socialiStic
youth.
One of the new slogans which is likely
to be very popular among those who use their
hearts instead of their heads to solve our So
cal problems is "a living wage for ALL"
This Giving wage for all seems an inno
cent principle-even a righteous proclamation
of elementary juStce-unt studies its
probable effect upon the economic condition of
a country like ours and upon the character
of the individual and the nation.
1t means Of course, in the minds of Social
lists living wage for every individual of adult
age, whether he is employed unemployed,
and whatever the financial condition of indus
try may be. That is to say, the individual
must get his three four pounds week, with
allowances for his wife and children free edu-
cation, free doctorng and on, even If for
egn countries cannot afford to buy our coal
or our manufactured goods, even if rich people
have to be taxed out of existence even if the
whole capitalistic system has to be destroyed,
which. indeed, is another plank in the Social
lists program.

has served upon the League
of Nations, setting forth her

body, and a less definite. but
not less minatory notice served by
Spain, combine to demonstrate the
utter failure Of the league UP to date
to solve or accommodate the most
serious crisis which has so far arisen
in it's brief history.
One can, / believe, quite justly term
it the most serious crisis because it
has arisen witEir; the league Itself. A
failure in such matter as the limi-
tation Of ornaments, however humili-
ating, cannot in all fairness be
charged exclusively or mainly to the
door of the league. The failure there
is no more than a disclosure OF the
fact that the league cannot act when
the sentiment of its member nations
does not favor action.
But the crisis which has eliminated
in the Brazilian withdrawal, or ROtice
of intended withdrawal. is purely
domestic crisis within the league.
trouble which grows out of the league
itself and not out Of conditions which
have long existed. 1t is the conse-
quence of vital weaknesses in the
structure of the league, and is, If one
may use the term, not a world all
ment, but a league disease, pure and
simple.
1t is an easy if rather cavalier
method to dispose of the whole cpl
sode by rebuking Brazilian ambition
or assailing Spanish policy, just as it
was excessively easy to dispose of the
March crisis at Geneva by alleging
that Brazil was no more than a pup
pet, and actually France or Italy or
some other wicked great power pulled
the strings from behind the scenes.
One must add, however, that this al
legation seems to fall to the ground
as a consequence of Brazil's persist
ence.

are recommended throughout the

Big teams came into use i'm the
