NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Ramblers' Dances. IT has been decided to continue these dances during the coming season, and the following dates have been fixed, viz.: October 3J, November J4 and 28, and December 12. The. dances will be held in the Hall of the Food Reform Restaurant, Furnival Street, Holborn (which can be reached easily from all parts by train or 'bus), 7.30 to I l. Tickets, 2S.

It having been suggested that owing to the prevail ing cir­cumstances, the dances might not be sufficiently well attended this season, it was decided, after consultation with the General Committee, to fix only the above dates for the present, but should the attendance at these four be satisfactory, further dances will be arranged after Christmas. It is therefore hoped that all ramblers and friends who are interested in their con. tinuance will attend as often as possible.

Any further particulars may be obtained from Miss H. M. Fairhall, Hon. Sec., 8, Scarborough Road, troud Green,

Socialism and the War.* " BE it or be it not true that Man is shapen in iniquity and con· ceived in sin, it is unquestionably true that Government is be· gotten of aggression and by aggression. In small undeveloped societies where for ages complete peace has continued, there exists nothing like what we call Government: no coercive agency, but mere honorary headshi\ , if any headship at all. In these excettional communities, un aggressive and from special causes unaggressed upon, there is so little deviation from the virtues of truth f ulness, honesly, justice, and gene· rosity I that nothing beyond an occasional expression of public opinion by informally-assembled elders is needful. on­versely, we find proofs that, at first recognised but temporarily during leadership in war, the authority of a chief is per. manently established by continuity of war, and grows strong where successful aggression ends in subjection of neighbour. ing tribes. And thence onwards, examples furnished by all races put beyond doubt the truth that the coercive power of

.. To avoid misunderstanding, it should be stated that this article was written before the 20th September, and must therefore not be taken as in any sense a reply to Mr. Hobson's discoul·. e delivered on that day.

5 the chief, developing into king, and king of kings Ca frequent title in the ancient East), becomes great in proportion as conquest becomes habitual and the union of subdued nations extensive. Comparisons disclpse a further truth which should be ever present to us-the truth that the aggressiveness of the ' ruling power inside a society increases with :its aggressiveness outside the society. As, to make an efficient army, the soldiers in their several grades must be subordinate to the commander, so, to make an efficient fighting community, must the citizens be subordinate to the ruling power. - They must furnish recruits to the extent demanded, and yield up whatever property is r qu ired.

" An obvious imrl ication is that the ethics of Government, origi nally identical with the ethics of war, must long remain akin to them, and can diverge from them only as warlike activities and preparations become less. Current evidence shows this. At present on the Continent the citizen is free only "vhen his services as a soldier are not demanded, and during the rest of his lif he is largely enslaved in supporting the mil itary organisation. Even .among ourselves a serious war would, by the necessitated conscription, suspend the liberties ' of large numbers and trench on the liberties of the rest, by taking from them, through taxes, whatever supplies were needed-that is, forcing them to labour so many days more for the State. Inevitably the established code of conduct In

the dealings of Governments with citizens must be allied to their code of conduct in their dealings with one another."

Such are the opening sentences of "The Sins of Legis­lators," the third essay in Herbert Spencer's" The Man versus the State," apd they are qu ted here as giving the answer to the arguments of Socialists with respect to the flood of legis­lation to which the present war has given rise. Vie are told that legislation which is so easily passed for the destructive purposes of war should be equally easy for the constructive Ptlrroses of peace, and that the only thing that makes :it less easy is the selfishness of the governing classes. The real reason,., of course, as Spencer has shown, why Socialistic legislation is easy in time of war and difficult in time of peace is that it is appropriate to the military regime and not appropriate to the industrial regime. No Individualist has ever contended that Individualism is either possible or desirable in a society whose main business is war. Spencer's political views were based upon the fact-more obvious perhaps when he wrote than it is now-

6

that thf' European na~ions and those of European descent, particularly England and the United tates, had ceased to regard war as the object to which the chief energies of a nation should be devoted; but he clearly recognised that when a nation is at war it must do what is necessary to ensure success, and the main thing necessary is the subordination of the individual to the governing power. If Socialists wish inter­fering legislation to be as easily passed after the war as it is now, there is one way, and one way only, in which they can secure that result: they must join with Lord Roberts and the conscriptionists to establish militarism as the permanent policy of the country. I believe that the hope and desire of a majority of Englishmen is that this war should result in a great reduction of the truly horrible expenditure of all the European Powers (ourselves included) on warlike preparations; but we should be blind indeed if we did not see that a large section of the onservative Party (though with many noble exceptions) looks to it as the means. by which militarism shall be once for all rivetted Jirmly on the neck of the nation. The German war lord is hateful to them because he is German, not because he is a war lord; we may be sure that they will strain every nerve to set up an even greater war lord here. Every new step towards Socialism helps to provide the essential condition of this in the subordination of the individual citizen; here, as always, we see that Toryism and ocialism are but two aspects of the same thing.

The argument for Socialism has been urged from another side, on the ground of the efficiency with which the railways ";.ve been managed since they were taken over by the State for the purposes of mobilisation. This, we are told, is an object lesson in railway nationalisation. There are two things that make the argument inapplicable. In the first place, there has been no tranfer in any real sense. All the old officials have been left in charge, and there has been no attempt to interfere with their management. In the second place, every­thing has had to give way to the necessities of mobilisation. Just as any man can govern in a state of siege, so any man can secure that a particular kind of traffic shall be promptly and efficiently handled if he is authorised to disregard every other consideration. This is not the way we want our railways managed in ordinary times, and in this regard recent events may be said to afford an argument against nationalisation. Army traffic is the favoured traffic now, and to that we are most

7

0'£ us prepared to submit. How should we like it if the favoured traffic was determined by the balance of votes in the House of Commons, as it musl be once commercial principles are abandoned?

All these arguments, however, about efficiency, whether applied to railways, as they are now, or to the Post Office or any other Government department, are fundamentally unsound because they ignore the essential factors in the efficiency claimed. The standard of efficiency now is the standard set by the best managed private businesses; a Government depart­ment is praised or blamed as it approdches or falls short of that standard. If there were no longer that standard to appeal to, nothing could prevent a rapid deterioration in the quality of all Government services. Moreover, the men who manage Government departments are themselves the product of a society wQose organisat.ion is mainly individualist. The service of the State is only one among many forms of employ­ment that present themselve? to the young man looking round for a career, a form of employment for which he specially trains himself and to which he brings the same general notions of fair dealing as his contemporaries take into other occupa­tions. MoreQver-and this is a cop.sideration which w~ll often weigh where higher ones would not-the State official can in the last resort be discharged just as he could be from an ordinary commercial office. All this would be changed under Socialism. State service would no longer be chosen volun­tarily; there would be no other way of living. On the ot.her hand, there would be no means of getting rid of the in­competent; th~ State would hav-e to make the best it could of all of us. I have heard :r."Ir. Bernard Shaw say that the incom­petent would be left to star ye ; but he must have known quite well that such a thing as a Socialist State leaving anybody to st.arve would be unthinkable. The truth is that the establish­ment of Socialism would be what. the late J. H. Levy used to call" selling out the moral capital of the race." There are certain valuable qualities which have naturally been fostered by an individualist state of society. The State can un­doubtedly get the benefit of those qualities so long as there is a supply of men brought up under the conditions that pro­duced them; but it is inconceivable that they should long survive the generation in which the Socialist State was established.
