ABSTRACT

The new fiscal policy means a change, not only in the historic English parties but in the conditions of people's public life. The old Conservative Party with its religious convictions and constitutional principles will disappear and a new party will arise, like perhaps the Republican Party in the United States of America rigid, materialist and secular, whose opinions will turn on tariffs and who will cause the lobbies to be crowded with the touts of protected industries. Not for the last hundred years has a more surprising departure been suggested. The theories of Lenin and Trotsky have fatally, and it may be finally, ruptured the means of intercourse between man and man, between workman and peasant. It would be criminal madness to cast the American atom bomb adrift in this agitated and un-united world. The Communist parties of fifth columns constitute a growing challenge and peril to Christian civilization.
