Nor is there any reason why this opening up of new markets should be confined to the United Kingdom, for if other nations find that a system of small uniform fares and rates is not only practicable but remunerative here, they will surely follow our example, as in the case of Penny Postage, and the day will not be far distant, after the system has once been adopted in this country, when it will be possible to travel all over Europe at the cost of a few shillings, and to transmit and receive goods at correspondingly low rates. It is impossible to foresee all the social and political as well as financial effects which may be produced by such a revolution. The advantages of travel, which have hitherto been restricted to the wealthy, will be thrown open to all, whatever their means. Another important result may be anticipated and hoped for, namely, that the intermingling of the people of the various races and nations will tend to remove the prejudices, misconceptions and misrepresentations which have so often produced disastrous wars in the past. Should this be so, it may be that the reform here proposed will bring nations nearer to the desired haven of Peace. _A QUESTION for to-day and to-morrow_ The Case for LAND NATIONALISATION BY JOSEPH HYDER (_Secretary to the Land Nationalisation Society_).
