DANGER OF CHARITY
A SOCIALIST'S ESSAY LOSS Or SELF-RELIANCE LONDON, Dec. 31. "There is a real danger in doing things for the people instead of the people doing things for themselves," writes Mr. Philip Snowden in "The Faith of a Democrat." one of a book of essays published by Conns. "Selfreliant, self-respecting independent people are," he soys, "rendered unreasonable by spoon-feeding." Mr. Snowden describes the British farmer as the survivor of mediaevalIsm, and says: "The first essential for the revival of British agriculture is co-operation." Mr. A. V. Alexander, a member of Cabinet, in an essay on "Parliament and the Consumer," describes Britain as "in immediate danger of being subordinated to what would amount to a general tariff. No taxation without representation clearly becomes a watchword for consumers who at present are mulcted every year in new Impositions of taxation on their daily needs."
