I powerfully the case against militar- ism, the case against secret -diplo- macy, and the case for freedom of expression. His new book, “The Brit- ish Revolution and American Democ- racy,” therefore leads those familiar with his work to expect something worth while, and they are not disap- pointed. = The British revolution he refers to is the turnover which the Brit- ish Labor party is effecting, and about which the American public knows so little, because our press regards the news of a people breaking away from monopoly domination as bad news. The ob- ject of this revolution is industrial democracy, an order of society in which the toiler receives the full product of his toil. The immedi- ate cause of the great drive to- ward it, or, as we say, the awak- ening of labor, is the hard condi- tions produced by the great world war and the final realization that ruling classes will do. nothing to benefit the common man. The author meets the common as- sertion that the “wicked Bolshevists” cause our unrest with the remark: “The _ introduction of extremely radical politics into America is not the work of the Socialist party or the I W. W,, but results from the actual measures of ‘the government for war purposes. These revolutionary meas- ures, which could never have been in- troduced by Socialist influence, have actually been put into effect, and the question which will shortly present it- self to the American public is: ‘Which of these measures shall be undone?’ and out of that question may arise, with the changes wrought by war conditions, a realignment of political forces, as in England. The British problems are already here.” Again he says: “The question which Americans have to answer is not ‘What do you think will happen ?’ but ‘What are you going to make happen? ‘What are you going to do? Are you going to keep the ships or sell them? Return the roads or retain them?’ - “In passing upon the question as to whether the government shall retain or return the roads, hand over the ships to private ownership or not, abandon the coal control or not, retain the in- come tax and extend it as the method of paying for the war or resort' to further bond selling, perpetuate conscription on the present scale or not, Americans will ‘be deciding not merely a de- tached detail of legislation-but principles far more important in their effect upon the daily lives of the majority of the people than would be a decision as between, say, a monarchy and a republic. For the control of railroads, for . instance, involves the control, through rates, of the whole indus- trial life of the country.” s His chapters on “The Spirit of Ad- venture in Social Change” and “Why Freedom Matters” are masterpieces of reasoning and expression. An ap- pendix contains the full draft report of the British Labor party on recon- struction. : A possible fault of the book arises from the' fact that Mr. Angell is so familiar with world conditions that he assumes much the general public would hardly know about and his style is too much that of the philoso- pher. But those who are accustomed to do some general reading will able to surmount this difficulty easily * and will find the book stimulating. “The British Revolution and American Democracy,” ,by: Norman Angell; B, W.
