Excerpt from Labour in the Commonwealth: A Book for the Younger Generation Thus, even if we repudiate in our conscious thoughts the idea that Labour is a thing, passive and not active in its nature, that idea is still present in our half-consciousness, and dominates to a great extent the less alert part of our minds. In the midst of a sympathetic consideration of the aims and claims of Labour, we find ourselves, instinctively and by force Of habit, slipping back into the idea that Labour is something impersonal, or at most only half-personal. Being ourselves only half rational, we cannot at once, by means of a new intellectual conviction, expel all the prejudices and presuppositions into which the intellectual convie tions of the past have congealed. It is only by close and constant endeavour that We can keep ourselves from bondage to our immediate intellectual ancestors.
