MARXIAN TEACHINGS.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Marxian teachings are making little appeal to people to-day. The position was well put by a reviewer of Professor Laski’s latest book on the development of Liberalism. ‘•lt is here that we touch what has proved to be the greatest fallacy of Marxism. The assumption that the division of mankind into propertied and propertyless classes is the fundamental division in the modern civilised world is simply not correct; and, in particular, it is not correct where the dividing line between propertied and propertvless is a constantly shifting one, or where it is not a line at ail, but a broad belt of small propertyowners whose interests and affiliations lie now on one side and now on the other.” —I am, etc., J. CALSIIORE. Hamilton, July 23.
