The authors contend that no solution of the serious problems that
confront the community can be found until the nation itself becomes the
ground landlord of the country in which it lives. They put forward a
scheme for nationalisation complete in financial and administrative
details, providing for the participation of various sections of the
community in the management of the land.
PROLETCULT, by _Eden_ and _Cedar Paul_ (authors of “Creative
Revolution”). Crown 8vo, 4/6.
Education to-day, availing itself of the widest means, employing the
press and the cinemas no less effectively than the schools, imposes upon
the community the ideology, the cultured outlook, of the ruling class.
The authors contend that among the working classes there are many who
strive for the realisation of a new culture.
Proletcult (proletarian culture) organises and consolidates the
thought-forces which will complete the overthrow of Capitalism. It will
then inaugurate and build up the economic and social, the artistic and
intellectual life of the “new era.” This great and far-reaching
contemporary movement is the theme of “Proletcult.”
OPEN DIPLOMACY, by _E. D. Morel_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.
“Foreign Policy” and “Secret Diplomacy” continue to be terms invested
with some kind of mysterious attributes. In this volume Mr. Morel
endeavours to simplify a problem which still remains complicated and
obscure to the general public. He shows us “foreign policy” as an
influence working in our everyday lives. He brings “diplomacy” into our
homes, and serves it up as a dish upon the breakfast table. He depicts
us as helpless automata moving blindfolded in a world of make-believe
until we secure an effective democratic control over the management of
our foreign relations.
THE NEW LABOUR OUTLOOK, by _Robert Williams_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.
_Morning Post._—“An exceedingly shrewd and lively commentator on the
significance of events ... decidedly valuable.”
_Daily Herald._—“We hope this book will have a wide circulation, as it
will enable all who read it to realise the difficulties before us.”
SOCIALISM AND PERSONAL LIBERTY, by _Robert Dell_ (author of “My Second
Country”). Crown 8vo, 4/6.
“Personal Liberty in the Socialist State” is an old controversy, and the
publishers feel that Mr. Dell’s new volume will evoke widespread
interest and discussion.
The author shows that Socialism is not necessarily incompatible with
personal freedom, or with individualism properly understood, but is
rather an essential condition of both. He contends that economic freedom
is unattainable under Capitalist conditions by any but the owners of
capital and that individual liberty is being threatened by political
democracy, which is becoming a tyranny of the majority.
A NEW AGRICULTURAL POLICY, by _F. E. Green_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.
_Times._—“His advocacy is clear and detailed, and his criticisms
pointed ... worth noting.”
_Glasgow Herald._—“Brightly and vigorously written by a shrewd
observer.”
