MR. G. H. REID, MR. McLEAN, AND " LIBERTY AND PROGRESS." 



[Last month, by the courtesy of the Australian Press -Cuttings' Agency, 341 Collins-street, Melbourne, I was able 

 to give definitions of " Socialism " from Mr. J. C. Watson, M.H.E., Senator McGregor, and the Editor of The Worker 

 (Brisbane). They were given in connection with The Gridiron Map, prepared b.v the Agency, showing the propor- 

 tionate area of land in Australia represented by Socialists, and published in tlie last fssne of " The Eeview of 

 Reviews." The definitions were asked for to give in a pamplilet on Socialism now being prepared by the Agency. 

 This month, I am able, by the courtesy of the Agency, to give deiinitions of Socialism from Mr. G. H. Beid, M.H.E., 

 Mr. McLean, M.H.E.. and the Editor of Liberty and Progress (Melbourne). Mr. Connell, the manager, requests me to 

 say that the Australian Press-Cuttings' Agency has cop.vrighted the definitions, but has no objection to their use b.v 

 newspai)ers if due credit be Eriven for them to the Agency and "The Keview of Reviews." To make the statements 

 more complete, I again publish the maps. — EDITOE.] 



The Editor of " Liberty and Progress'' (Melbourne), 

 '_Mr. Chas. Smith, supplies the following definition: — 



We understand Socialism in Australia, as at present 

 promulgated by the Labour organisations, to mean 



the confiscation of laud by gradually taxing the value 

 out of it, and tlie building up of a huge congeries of State 

 monopolies by nationalising one industry after another, 

 under the pretence of suppressing so-called private 



The Gridiron Map— The Senate. 



^howin" the strength of Socialism in the Federal Parliament. The black bars (red in the original) show the area 



of land in the difTerent States represented by Socialists.
