ABSTRACT

The worker who is conscious of the social value of his work, who takes a new attitude towards his own enjoyments and the riches which should be available for all, is faced by hindrances and obstacles. The expanding minds of the new generation are hampered by the economic need for earning a living or the absence of sufficient provision to feed their minds on knowledge and fine emotions. A State-issued or State-guaranteed credit for a million houses would make a very productive return in mere wealth in ten years' time. Freedom requires that the investment of capital, privately or publicly owned, and the issue of credit shall be socialized; that is to say, the dominant motive should be the public need, the supply of which is made possible by such investment or issue of credit. The workers are not likely, unless deluded by demagogues, to forget the interests of others.
