WHY THEY OPPOSE SOCIALISM. By W. STEWART ( .. Gavroche"). P rinted by CIVIC PRESS, LTD., 164 H oward St reet , Glasgow. P ublished by GLASGO W REFORMERS' BOOKSTALL, 126 Bothwell St.reet.; BALFOUR OF BURLEIGH & CO. HIS pamphlet is written specially for Scottish people. English, Irish, and Welsh are not prohibited from T reading it. It will do them no harm. Scottish folk are specially addressed, not because of their superior intelligence, which is of course taken for granted, but because in this pamphlet an effort is made to do justice to an eminent and highly respectable Scotsman. Lord Bal­ four of Burleigh is modest as well as respectable and emin­ ent, and his modesty has hitherto prevented him from tak­ ing his countrymen fully into his confidence. He has told them that he is opposed to Old Age Pensions, Free Meals for Hungry Children, and Socialism, but he has never yet told them the true reasons why he is opposed to these things. He has indeed implied that he wants to preserve the self­ respect of the Scottish people, and to save Scottish children from being pauperised, which latter is in his opinion a greater misfortune than being starved. But these are not the chief reasons for Lord Balfour of Burleigh's Anti­ Socialism. This pamphlet is designed to explain his Lord­ ship's real motives, which with characteristic reserve he has kept in the background. Incidentally, it will be necessary to explain what Anti­ Socialism means, and that also will involve an explanation of what Socialism means. Thus we are in for an exposure of the Socialists. Also of the Anti-Socialists j all arising out of this attempt to do justice to Lord Balfour of Burleigh. Lord Balfour is in the very front of the Anti-Socialist movement. He is President of the British Constitutional Association, and in that capacity he it was who opened this Anti-Socialist campaign, with considerable bravado and eclat. The date was 3rd October, 1907, a red-letter day in his Lordship's career. It was a great day for the Anti­ Socialists. It was also a great day for the Socialists. 4 For on that day the Anti-Socialists st arted out to advertise Socialism. Since t hat memorable day the Anti­ Socialist campaign has developed. Its missionaries are abroad, and its caravans are carrying inexhaustible st ores of specially preserved gramophonic eloquen ce to the r emotest corners of the land. The people that sat in darkness have seen a great light-the Light of Socialism. They have al so heard a great noise . The noise of the Anti-Socialist gramophones. To oppose Socialism. What is the object of the Anti-Socialist campaign ? Unless we understand this we cannot do justice to Lord Balfour of Burleigh. The object of the Anti-Socialist cam­ paign is to oppose Socialism. That is a perfectly legiti­ mate object. People who do not believe in Socialism have a right to oppose it. It is, in fact, their duty to oppose it, just as it· will be their duty to acquiesce in it when once the will uf the people has declared in its favour. This is the essential virtue of the Anti-Socialist campaign. It is an appeal to the people. It is an admission that the will of the people must be supreme, for or against S ocialism. Socialists have no right to complain, and do not complain. Socialists believe that in an appeal to the people they have nothing to fear. They glory in the fact that the Anti-So­ cialists have at last been compelled to submit the issue to the judgement of the common people. For in that fact rests the assurance that the ultimate establishment of Social­ ism in this country will be accomplished constitutionally and peacefully. Having once conceded the right of the people to decide, the capitalists dare not resist that decision by f orc e. The Social Revolution will be a peaceful revolu­ tion. Well, then. The Anti-Socialists are out to oppose Socialism, Balfour of Burleigh leading on. Who is Lord Balfour of Burleigh ~ T.he answer to that question will give us the answer to another question. TVhy does Lord Balfour of Burleigh oppose Socialism ~ 5 If you know a man's antecedents, interests, and envrr­ onments, you can usually get to the root of his opinions. Who is Balfour of Burleigh? What are his titles to be regarded as an authority on Socialism? An Aristocrat. Firstly, Balfour of Burleigh is an elected Scottish Peer, and in this limited sense is a representative man. He sits in the House of Lords as mouthpiece of the hereditary privileged classes of Scotland, who have at all times been the enemies of the common people. As a member of the House of Lords, appointed thereto by a few Scottish noblemen-so-called-Balfour of Burleigh is vested with legislative authority equal to that of a member of the House of Commons, elected by the people. That is to say, he possesses more political power than an entire Parlia­ mentary constituency. Ten thousand voters are collectively of less importance than is Lord Balfour of Burleigh. Here we have one special reason why he is opposed to Socialism. Under Socialism, Balfour of Burleigh would not sit in the House of Lords. There would be no House of Lords. Socialism is democratic. It has its roots politically III democracy. Socialism would abolish the House of Lords, and would place Balfour of Burleigh on a level politically with every other citizen. Naturally Lord Balfour is an Anti-Socialist. He does not want to be placed on a level with other citizens. He does not believe in democracy. He believes in the House of Lords, and in Balfour of Burleigh. On the question of Socialism he is a prejudiced person. The Anti-Socialist vans are out to defend Balfour of Burleigh's claim to sit in the House of Lords. A Jerry-Built Statesman. Secondly: Lord Balfour, by virtue of his peership, and by virtue of that alone, takes rank as a statesman. He 6 has been a minist er of the Crown, and hopes to be so again. That is one of the immediate objects of the Anti-Socialist campaign-to return Lord Balfour's part y to power so that he and his associates may once more become ministers of the crown. H ere we have another reason wh y Balfour of Burleigh is opposed to Socialism. Under Socialism he would stand little chance of being either a legislator or a st ates­ man. Social D emocracy would not accept its st at esmen ready made and predestined. It would choose them for their brains and abilities. It would train and educate them for their special duties, and it would demand from them national ser vice, not class service. Under such a syst em as that Lord Balfour would not suit at all. It is not su rpris­ ing that he is opposed to Socialism . The Anti-Socialist vans are out to defend Balfour of Burleigh's spurious claims t o statesmanship. A Recipient of' Out-Door Relief'. Thirdly: Lord Balfour is a State Pensioner. Not a paltry " five shillings a week at sixt y" pensioner. Nothing so petty and insignificant as that. Balfour of Burleigh's pension is ;£1200 a year , ;£100 a month. He gets as much pension in one fortnight as the average workman gets wages in a year. Balfour of Burleigh's pen sion would give five shillings a week to 9 f2 person s. It is not suggested that his Lordship is therefore 92 times a pauper, but it must be evident that he is not without reasons for being opposed to Socialism. Balfour of Burleigh's pension would supply 14-4-,000 m eals for sch ool children. We are thus enabled to measure the loss of self-respect which his Lordship suffers every time he draws his pen sion. The moral damage must be enormous, and is only equalled by the heroism with which his Lordship bears up against it. Balfour of Burleigh's pension is not an Old Age Pension. He is not yet sixt y, and looks hale and hearty. It is not a service pension. H e has done nothing notable. He has not written a great book nor painted a great picture, nor invented a labour-saving machine, nor saved human lives, nor fought his country's battles. He is simply an ordinary commonplace man like 7 the rest of us. He is none the worse of that, of course, and the fact that he is able to lay hands on a pension which is certainly not commonplace, probably accounts for his objec­ tion to other commonplace people getting pensions. Them might be less for his lordship. Balfour of Burleigh's pen­ sion is not an Old Age Pension nor a Service Pension. It is a Poverty Pension. He draws his pension on account of his Poverty. He himself has said it. He had to say it in order to get the pension. He has a few companions in misery, who like him­ self are not too proud to accept public money in alleviation of their financial decrepitude. Here are the names and titles of some of these distressful knights of the Round Table Dolorous :- Right Hon. Viscount Cross .". ... £2000 Right Hon. Lord Geo. Hamilton 2000 Right Hon.

  • Political Friendship in Early America
    CAMPBELL, THERESA J., Ph.D. Political Friendship in Early America. (2010) Directed by Dr. Robert M. Calhoon. 250 pp. During the turbulent decades that encompassed the transition of the North American colonies into a Republic, America became the setting for a transformation in the context of political friendship. Traditionally the alliances established between elite, white, Protestant males have been most studied. These former studies provide the foundation for this work to examine the inclusion of ―others‖ -- political relationships formed with and by women, persons of diverse ethnicities and races, and numerous religious persuasions -- in political activity. From the outset this analysis demonstrates the establishment of an uniquely American concept of political friendship theory which embraced ideologies and rationalism. Perhaps most importantly, the work presents criteria for determining early American political friendship apart from other relationships. The central key in producing this manuscript was creating and applying the criteria for identifying political alliances. This study incorporates a cross-discipline approach, including philosophy, psychology, literature, religion, and political science with history to hone a conception of political friendship as understood by the Founding Generation. The arguments are supported by case studies drawn from a wide variety of primary documents. The result is a fresh perspective and a new approach for the study of eighteenth century American history.

THE FATES OF THE TANKARDSTOWN MINERS: SOME EXAMPLES by Des Cowman Abstract: As Tankardstown was developed in the early 1850s there is evidence that famine and pre-famine emigration con- tinued regardless of employment opportunities. Economic factors greatly influenced accelerating departure rates through the 1860s and 1870s. The fates of only a tiny proportion of those who left can be sketched without knowing whether they were exceptional or the norm. Finally the fate of a few of those who tried to stay in the area is suggested. Journal of the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland, 5, 2005, 47-52.

  • Members of Parliament Disqualified Since 1900 This Document Provides Information About Members of Parliament Who Have Been Disqu
    Members of Parliament Disqualified since 1900 This document provides information about Members of Parliament who have been disqualified since 1900. It is impossible to provide an entirely exhaustive list, as in many cases, the disqualification of a Member is not directly recorded in the Journal. For example, in the case of Members being appointed 5 to an office of profit under the Crown, it has only recently become practice to record the appointment of a Member to such an office in the Journal. Prior to this, disqualification can only be inferred from the writ moved for the resulting by-election. It is possible that in some circumstances, an election could have occurred before the writ was moved, in which case there would be no record from which to infer the disqualification, however this is likely to have been a rare occurrence. This list is based on 10 the writs issued following disqualification and the reason given, such as appointments to an office of profit under the Crown; appointments to judicial office; election court rulings and expulsion. Appointment of a Member to an office of profit under the Crown in the Chiltern Hundreds or the Manor of Northstead is a device used to allow Members to resign their seats, as it is not possible to simply resign as a Member of Parliament, once elected. This is by far the most common means of 15 disqualification. There are a number of Members disqualified in the early part of the twentieth century for taking up Ministerial Office. Until the passage of the Re-Election of Ministers Act 1919, Members appointed to Ministerial Offices were disqualified and had to seek re-election.

  • The 1924 Labour Government and the Failure of the Whips
    The 1924 Labour Government and the Failure of the Whips by Michael Meadowcroft The first Labour government has been the subject of much research aided by a remarkable number of MPs who served in the 1924 parliament who either wrote memoirs or were the subject of biographies. However, though there is a consensus on the underlying strategic aim of Labour to use the arithmetic of the Liberals’ political dilemma to deal the party a lethal blow, there has been no focus hitherto on the day-to-day parliamentary process and the lack of a clear Labour strategy in government. There was neither a tactical decision to have measures that the Liberals could be expected to support, nor a deliberate policy to press forward with more socialist legislation that would please its own MPs, or at least the more vocal of them, and deliberately challenge the Liberal MPs. Instead the government continued along an almost day-to-day existence. The Labour parliamentary party had no collective experience of managing parliament and singularly failed to learn the tricks of the trade, not least as a consequence of the failure of the party whips to function effectively. This analysis focuses on the key role of the party whips and on their responsibility for the short nine-month life of the first Labour government. I have to declare an interest as a paid up member of the Whips’ Union having acted as Alan Beith’s deputy whip, 1983–86. The importance of the whips in a party system is a neglected field of study.

  • Into the Twenties
    11 INTO THE TWENTIES. We hold the position that the whole economic value of land belongs to the community as a whole . When the Labour Government does sit upon those (i.e., the Government) benches it will not deserve to have a second term of office unless in the most determined manner it tries to secure social wealth for social purposes. Philip Snowden, MP House of Commons. 4 July 1923. The Parliament which met at the end of 1922 pursued a policy which Government supporters called "tranquility", but which the Opposition was more disposed to describe as stagnation. Only two pieces of legislation which had any bearing on the land prob- lem emerged, and neither of them could be regarded as of major importance. An Act of 1896 had halved agricultural rates; the Agricultural Rates Act of 1923 reduced them to a quarter of the assessment. Neville Chamberlain (son of Joseph, half-brother of Austen) defended these proposals on the grounds that agriculture had fallen into a "desperate condition"; but as the total rate reduc- tion amounted to less than £3 millions, Government supporters and opponents alike were unable to discover any prospect of sig- nificant improvement. The second measure which bore on the land question arose in connection with the Finance Bill of 1923. While the proposals were being debated, an amendment was proposed by Sir William Bull - a Conservative backbencher long noted for his extreme opposition to anything remotely resembling land taxation. Under the Finance Act of 1909-10, landowners were required to supply the Land Valuation Department with particulars of sales and leases, and this obligation had not been removed in 1920.
