Land nationalisation, its necessity and its aims : being a comparison of the system of landlord and tenant with that of occupying ownership in their influence on the well-being of the people . sentially on the relation of landlord and tenant—a relationwhich gives a power to one citizen over the liberty and well-being of others which is incompatible with freedom, while itdenies the right of Englishmen to occupy any portion of theirnative land except at the will and pleasure of its comparativelyfew owners. Further, it has been shown that the divorce ofthe working classes from the soil is the prolific parent ofpauperism, vice, and crime; and that, as a mere question ofnational policy, it is essential that some means should beadopted to give every labourer, as well as every Englishman, aright to a portion of land at a fixed rent, for cultivation andhome occupation. This can only be done by the abolitionof private property in land and its complete nationalisation—undoubtedly a measure of a radical if not of a revolutionarycharacter, but the evils to be cured are so gigantic and sodeeply rooted that any less searching remedy would be powerless to effect a cure of the Ocaipying Ownership. 135 CHAPTER VI.
