Excerpt from The Red Light: A Commentary on Mr. J. H. Thomas's When Labour RulesFor there is much in the position advanced by Mr. Thomas with which every right-thinking man must sympathize. We all want to see poverty diminished (although Mr. Thomas appears to find it difficult to admit this) we all want to see freedom and justice reign in this country and throughout the world we all want to see general prosperity increase, we all want to see happiness widespread, culture improved and character strengthened. And because Mr. Thomas and his friends come before us confidently announcing political panaceas for achieving these ends, and be cause Mr. Thomas himself does so in less ¿aming and extreme language than has been common with his socialist colleagues, and because this programme is uttered at a time when political voices generally are speaking in disappointingly uncertain tones, there is a danger that many members of the public will give an over-ready credence to doctrines where closer examination would disclose grounds for scepticism. Hence the ensuing criticism and commentary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
