"FAITH OF DEMOCRAT"
Mr, Snowden's Treatise on Self-
Reliance.
CONSUMERS AND TAXATION.
LONDCLY, January 1.
"There is a real danger in doing tilings for people instead of people doing things for themselves," writes the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Philip Snowden, in "The Faith of a. Democrat," in one of a book of essays just published. "Self-reliant, self-re-specting independent people are rendered unreasonable by spoon-feeding."
Mr. Snowden describes the British farmer as a survivor of medievalism, and says: "The first essential for a revival of British agriculture is cooperation."
The First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. A. V. Alexander, in an essay on Parliament and the consumer, describes Brir tain as being "in immediate danger of being subordinated to what would amount to a general tariff. No taxation without representation clearly becomes the watchword of the consumers, who at present are mulcted every year in new impositions and taxation on daily needs."
