Abstract
ARGUMENTS are more likely to prove weighty in the absence of exaggerated presentment, and may easily show fallacies in depending upon statistics. Issue may be joined with the remark, that taxation impoverishes one class to enrich another; and the glorification of leisure as the dolce far non troppo, in place of an honest day's work, as hitherto understood, is to be deplored. Mr. Hodgson has wandered up and down and to and fro, with the amazing resultant discovery, that the U.S.S.R. deserves praise at the expense of the rest of the world. The trend of events during the last few months serves to discount the value of much of Mr. Hodgson's text.
