unfair. They must know, if they think, that if he tried to 

 do much more towards Socialism he would break up the 

 Government and let in the Tories. — Yours truly,

To Mr. a. Wiltshibe 

 Old Orchard, Broadstone, Dorset. September 14, 1913. 



Dear Sir, — I wish you every success in your work for 

 the amelioration of the condition of the workers, through 

 whose exertions it may be truly said we all live and move 

 and have our being. 



Your motto is excellent. Above all things stick together. 



Equally important is it to declare as a fixed principle 

 that wages are to be and must be continuously raised, 

 never lowered. You have too much arrears to make up — 

 too many forces against you, to admit of their being ever 

 lowered. Let future generations decide when that is neces- 

 sary — if ever. 



This is a principle worth enfbrcing by a general strike. 

 Nothing less will be effective — nothing less should be 

 accepted; and you must let the Government know it, and 

 insist that they adopt it. 



The rise must always be towards uniformity of payment 

 for all useful and productive work. — Yours sincerely, 



Alfred K. Wallace.
