xix SOME OBJECTIONS ANSWERED 363 



In conclusion, therefore, I would, urge most strongly, 

 that in all arrangements or proposals with regard to the 

 land, we should throw aside altogether the idea of getting 

 the highest possible rents, but should always aim at the 

 maximum of well-being for the cultivators. By thus 

 acting we shall best secure the equal well-being of the 

 whole of the industrial community, and shall initiate that 

 progressive improvement, with the diminution and ultimate 

 abolition both of enforced idleness and of undeserved 

 poverty, which is the whole aim and object of Land 

 Nationa lization.
