3. In Germany methods were adopted for providing towns 

 with the hind they required for housing and public use without 

 nationahzing all rural land. A really comprehensive Acquisi-

4. Occupying ownership gives absolute security and, when 

 accompanied with the provision of a sound system of credit, 

 the most \\holesome security. 



5. Railways have been nationalized without nationalizing the 

 land. 



6. A proper Acquisition of Lands Act, along with a properly

 land. 



7. The point in regard to single tax is hardly worth replying 

 to, in \-iew of the fact that for some years the National Budget 

 will require a revenue of at least ^(^700,000,000, and the total 

 annual value of all land and houses in the United Kingdom 

 does not amount to half that sum.
