LADY WARWICK
MAKES STARTLING
& STIRRING APPEAL
The Countress of Warwick, owner of
23,000 acres, has issued a stirring ap
peal to the landed aristocracy of
Great Britain to follow the example of]
lhe Russian grand dukes and turn '
over all their feunl properties to the
state, says a recent Lou tot: cal Irg’am.
"\Ve must go,' »ne says. "The aristo
cracy of England, in Its position of
hereditary landowners, must go.
"The country rings with sugges
tions of the betterment of thee on
d It Ions under which land is cultivated,
inti as I see things, the suggestions
are in no insnnee drastic enough.
“The only cure for the preset t e iis
seems to ine to be state ownership 1 be
aholicun of all private property in tlie
eartli that was given to all of us in
commor.,
"There are two classes of large land
owners in England, (he aristocracy
and the plutocracy.
"As a class, the aristocracy e
been good land lords wit in limits,
but the limits are very marked, be
cause they have always been a nar
row-minded body. The average chate
laine who plays the part of Lady
Beautiful Is to me an abomination,
because her philanthropy Is so closely
associated with dogmatic religion,
personal pride, and party politics.
"I have known estates where the
tenants are expected to belong to the
church of England, and non-conform
ists are barred or persecuted. Rad
icalism is likewise suspect. Farmers,
laborers and small village tradesmen
i have been ruined or exiled from th”
place of their birth because (heir
opinions are contrary to those of their
landlord. Al«,. and women on such
estates must rule their lives to order,
think as they are told to think. If
our aristocracy possessed the over
whelming wisdom necessary (o their
role as supreme dictators, all would
he well, but I cannot reckon in their
ranks more than six whose claims
would bejtr momentary consideration.
“As for the plutocrats, the men-who
have bought lands and titles In thfc
open market—and the one is nearly
as readily purchased as ilie other—
they have not the old feudal tradition ,
of the aristocracy. They have
accustomed to make business ivn- |
turcs pay; they demand six per eenl j
on their outlay and employ an agent I
who will see that they gat U.- 'The
landlord of this class is a ba l.Vidxnl.
i i
landlord of this class Is a bad lancllonlf
“For the' betterment of socia'Vieon
ditions in Englxr. 1 a supreme sacrifice
is required. It Is no more than Jus
tice that the men who have i."ered
their lives in this war for Britain
should have the freedom of Britain
for their reward. It Is no Justice that
Is men to fight for the land and
j leaves it in the hansd of a fraction
of those who fought. To me It Is
impossible that in the future 'His
grace’ of ‘My lord' should own square
miles of the mother earth for which
Tom died and Hick was sore w uu.dod
and Ha-ry fought unscathed.
"The country has great metis, if It
is to remain solvent the united work
of one and all Is necessary. The old
feudal landlord will lie an anachron
ism, the new money-spun landlod an
alinominatlon. Only the state can
own the land In trust for those who
can make it productive. \Yc who are
in the high p.aces in England should
retire from them in the real halo of
renunciation, and our act of sacrifice
would he a better memorial than the
host of us could have hoped to gain.”
NEW RUSSIA
TO SWITGN
ITS CALENDAR
i
_
I’KTIt( Kil:.\ I) Bringing up to date
of tho Russian calendar w'lll lie one of
tlie earliest reforms of the new gov
ernment in Russia, Although opposi
tion is expected from eeeleslstleal
quarters.
Any alteration of the calendar has
always been regarded ns an act of |
impiety by a large section of the Rus- i
sion people. When the Gregorian cal
endar was introduced in 158 as a cor
rection of the Julian or Roman, three
oountrtes In Kurope—Russia, Sweden
land Rngland refused to come Into
with the others. R was not ntil 1752
that Rngland brought the calendar
up io date. Sweden followed the next
year, hut Russia has persisted in re
maining isolate up to the present.
The Julian calendar was eleven
minutes ten seconds out of reckoning
each year, and the accumulation would
now amount to about thirteen days.
