Ho stated tliat every nation seemed to he watching it.s noiglihouv to .^oo if it coukl get any advantage. He failed to show in what way or to .substantiate tlie a5.‘=crtion. IHis.sia, he miid, Iiad put forward the


only iiroposal that would stand investiga­ tion. Hussia’« proj)o>al.s were put forward in a too obviously cynical ami iiisineere la.shion for anyone to put any faitli in either tlie propo.sals or tlie proposer, 'I’he wortliy Alderniaii .slionid know tliat llio.>-e pi'opo.sals wort* utterly impractlealile ii i llie present evolution of world event.s. Ho stated tiiat we might he dragged .


at


the heels of France, but did not show how That is nnotiier unproved assertion. ^loro faith could he put in Itnssia if tlu

PRIVATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY .‘^ir.— It is (jiiite true as I stated in my


previon.' letter that a great deal of con- fu'ion exists in the minds of people on tin* «lue>tioti of Socialism, lod^'ate |iro|)orty ami jiorsonal property.


.Silver’’ is a typical result of this • con­ fusion of thouglil. Your correspomlent fails to disci'iminate between privat(* and jier.sonal property; fails to coinprolicml tlie economic .sy.stem under wbicli we live. He asks if one hn.s no rigid- to own bis own lioii'C and land arouml it.


I'lie letter of *• .lohn


a bouse is personal property ami as such should be tlie )>roperly of tlie person living ill it.


(^uite clearly


is in allowing bouses to become private jM-operty. “ .lolin Silver " could m»i own tlie lionso in wliicli be lives if it ludonged to someone else. 1’o illustrate tlii' point l(>t us snppO'e there is a small community <if twelve families and twelve lumses. Tlii would moan om* house i^or family, lint cine faniih' owned .‘^ix’ hoiLses, tlien five wouh! he in tin* power of that owner and would liave to j»ay rent to liim.
