“In this, his second book, there is fine performance and no little
promise of greater things. He stands, as craftsman, upon the ancient
ways, and reminds one at times of the cool lucidity of Matthew
Arnold (and, at times, of the jeweled intensity of Rossetti). He is
especially successful in the sonnet.”

“We need this book to get the full significance of the numerous and
contradictory reports about Russia that are published in our daily
press. For only when we know what the status of the Russian people
was before the war can we judge whether conditions in Russia are
improved or made worse by the Soviet government. Another signal
service that Mr Hindus has performed is the dissipation of the
illusions about the soul or the character of the Russian peasant.” J. J.

“The book is very well illustrated and printed and will be found an
excellent thing to dip into and dally with in the spirit in which it was
written. It is a book for the country house table.”

Sir Shawn O’Gara had upbraided his dearest friend, his brother in
affection, for having ruined—as he thought—a young girl of the
people; and enraged beyond control at Terence Comerford’s careless
laugh had lashed the spirited horse, Spitfire, Terence was riding, thus
sending him to his death. The shadow of his remorse haunted Sir
Shawn throughout his subsequent, unusually blest married life.
Retribution overtook him when his own son fell in love with Terence
Comerford’s supposedly illegitimate daughter, Stella, and when his
horse Mustapha, grandson of Spitfire and as spirited as his ancestor
threw and apparently killed him. But he lived and Stella was proven
legitimate and of exceedingly fine metal for standing up for and
openly loving her mother while still in disgrace.

“Four years ago, while yet our armies were in the field, was
published a volume entitled ‘Friends of France,’ which contained
numerous accounts of the work done by American soldiers in France
who wore the blue of the poilu. The war was still in progress and
some of our regiments were still on the way overseas in danger of
submarines and anticipating the serious work which was to follow.
The volume, ‘Friends of France,’ was therefore more or less
provisional and incomplete. This publication then is designed to
supersede the former work; its aim, as expressed by the publishers, is
to fill in the gaps and finish the story, to give the final record of all
the sections, new as well as old, and of the work of the many
hundreds of younger volunteers as well as of the pioneers of 1915 and
1916.”—Boston Transcript

“It ought not to be the case that there is one standard of morality
for individuals in their relations with one another, a different and a
slighter standard for corporations, and a third and still slighter
standard for nations.” That this, however, actually is the case is the
book’s contention. The author makes a plea for an emergency
commerce and finance agreement between nations by way of
preventing economic ruin and starvation in the war-stricken
countries of Europe. “For morality among nations, as among
individuals, implies faith and risk-taking.”

The author holds that the war’s legacies of indebtedness and its
large sudden demands of state expenditure for reconstruction,
calling for an enormous increase in tax-income, necessitates a re-
examination of the principles of tax policy. “Recognizing that the
normal annual tax-income can only be derived from the incomes of
the several members of the nation ... we are confronted first with the
necessity of distinguishing the portions of personal incomes that
have ability to bear taxation from those that have not such ability.”
(Preface) The object of the book then is to arrive at a clear definition
of ‘ability to bear’ and to ascertain the reforms needed to conform the
demands of taxation to this principle. The book falls into two parts.
Part 1: Principles of tax reform, contains: Ability to pay; The taxable
surplus; The shifting of taxes; The taxation of income; Reforms of
income-tax: Death duties; Supplementary taxes; Tariffs for revenue.
Contents of part 2, Emergency finance, are: Our financial emergency;
A levy on war-made wealth; A general levy upon capital; Relations of
imperial to local taxation; Index.
“Of the ways and means of ascertaining the taxable capital and of
collecting the levy, Mr Hobson does not say as much as one would
like. But he is dealing primarily with principle rather than with
practice.” R. R.
“That Hobson has few illusions regarding the nature of the present
regime, is clearly evident in the second, more interesting half of this
volume.” L: Jacobs

“The idea of receiving wages for work done seems to give him
positive pain, but his attempt to formulate a practical alternative is a
sad failure, though it is veiled in obscure terms.”
Francis Erskine was given a year to live by his doctor and chooses
the Cornwall coast to pass this year in quiet rural seclusion and in
finding out, if possible, if there is any hope for a life beyond. He is an
unbeliever and has no faith whatever in immortality. His secluded
hut on the cliffs turns out to be almost directly over a cave used by
the Germans for their secret operations and he soon begins to sense
the presence of German spies. He spends his time between
cultivating the village folk and clergy, in his quest for a life after
death, and in trying to discover what the Germans are doing at the
cave. To this last he consecrates himself in patriotic fervor, and
succeeds, but apparently dies in a struggle with a spy. During his
death trance he has a vision of the two worlds and becomes
conscious of the presence of God. He awakes to find that an
operation has been performed on him and that a new life and even
love is waiting for him.

“Mr Hodges’s case is, briefly, that there is inevitably waste in the
production, in the consumption, and in the distribution of coal under
the present system of private ownership. He insists that the coal
industry should be regarded as a whole; that the accidental frontiers
of private ownership are not geological frontiers: that the prime
consideration of an industry developed by shareholders’ capital,
namely, that a certain monetary return should be obtained within a
certain time, is not compatible with the most efficient and scientific
development of that industry; and that different and competitive
systems of distribution involve needless expenses for superfluous
labour. His conclusions are based on figures, and the figures are
taken from government reports. His argument is, in fact, the old
argument that one great trust controlling a whole industry can work
more efficiently and economically than a number of small and
overlapping concerns. Here he develops his second argument. We
have to consider the psychology of the miners. Rightly or wrongly,
they are now reluctant to work for the purpose of creating private
profit. No system of profit-sharing will content them; they insist on
the dignity of being regarded directly as servants of the community;
they have lost all faith in the divine right of employers. That is why
the country, and not a trust, must own and develop the coal-
mines.”—Ath

“A book like the present one should go far to supply the real need
of a clear and convincing statement of what is admitted to be the
most difficult of all philosophical systems. Mr Hoernlé is to be
congratulated on a work of permanent value.”
