SOCIALISM AND LIBERTY. Sir.—1 read Hie adtlress of Air. J. T.


Fielding to members of Hie Liberal Council, “ (Jn Liberty.” The interpretation which


I am bound to infer is that Socialism i.s a denial of liberty. Alay I ho jiermitlod to assert- th a t Sociali.Mii is llie very oppo.-ily. Socialism will free men from economic bomlage. Let u:s look a t the question for a moJiiciil, and see. One of tho very first conditions of life is


that a man must. live. A very nece-sary atlrilnile to that life is tiiat a. man cannot live without work. Further, a man cannot wurlv without access to that woiL. 'Jliese tire t ruths wiiicii obviously nobody can deny. Yet what do we find? The mean.s of a man’s work, the access lo it, the very basis of existence, is in the hands ol private iiulivitluaU. Under such comlitiims I assert that man camiol he free. Tlierc must Ik* a ciiange. Alan iiin>t lie given i!ie opporiun- ity of access to tlie mcaius of work.


cannot ho accomplished wliilsi this rigli*u ol access rests with private individuals. imist he ill tho hamls of the people.


'I'liat It


must he collectively owned. In other words i t must lie socialised. Puhlic ownership then is necessary (nr the freedom of man in so far as the very first condition of life is concorued. T’hc |»rivate ownership of land ami capital is an alisoluie denial of lilierty lo the great mass of tho people, 'lo keep men in a state of struggle and uncertainty about their jiuimal satisfactions, sudi as food, clutliing and shelter, is to keep ilieiii in homlagc' to their lower wants. It denies to them the jirivilego (A advancing to the lovelier tliuigs in life. Thes(‘ elementary necessities of fooii, etc., should lx* guaran­ teed to the citizens of a communiiy, simply because without ihein man cannot live. 'Tiiey camiot he guaranteed :is things aiv at present. So long as they are in priv:ite iianils. so long will men he tlepeiuleui- upon those posstssors ol the nuxuis ot work, therefore life. Sncli a pioitimi I again assert is a ilenial of lihertv. l iider eapH- alism, that is. privati* ownersliip of land and capital, a man can only secure his liie hy losing the viu-y thing tliat mattor> hi> liberty.
