The criticism of Mr. Henry George's prop is^iuda from the quarters where he must have looked for sympathy, if not support, continues to be unequivocally hostile. Mr. Alfted Wallace, the apostle of land nationalisation in England, writes to say the statement that he is to assist Mr. George at his meetings " is unauthorised and incorrect." He adds that so far from supporting Mr. George's proposal he will " take every opportunity of opposing what I consider to be grossly unjust in principle, highly injurious in its effects, and altogether illogical and inconsistent from Mr. George's own standpoint." Mr. Labouchere says in 2'"uth, "I do not think Mr. George's scheme will hold water. We have allowed people to acquire property in land. They have a legal title to what they own 1 . We cannot, therefore, deprive them of it without compensation."— DuMin Freeman
