Excerpt from The Hibbert Journal, Vol. 11: A Quarterly Review of Religion, Theology, and Philosophy; October, 1912-July, 1913 What then, I must ask again, is' a satisfactory wage? Shall we say it is the maximum attainable under existing conditions, be they good or bad? But who is to judge when the maximum is attained? Can we say in advance that when the State is organised as we desire, the people will be in such perfect sympathy with their executive that they will, under all circumstances, accept as the just maximum whatever measure Of reward the State allots them? But this perfect sympathy between the individual and the State is only another name for that perfect social discipline grounded on self-restraint which no community yet possesses; and its introduction at this point of the discussion only serves to strengthen the plea to which the whole argument leads up. Or can we say that a democratic people will always be satisfied on proof given in the national balance-sheet that all the profits of collective effort, be they small or great, have been equitably distributed? But what about the losses? Will there never be an adverse balance? Would not this have to be divided also? Will there be no declining industries? If hats begin to go out of fashion, will the hatmaker be content to bear the consequences himself, or will the State require the coatmaker to help him in bearing them? Will the coat maker be satisfied with the arrangement? If a decline takes place in Protestant opinions and a revival in Catholic, will the Catholics be content that some portion of the collective wealth should be applied in providing a minimum wage for the impoverished clergy of the Protestant persuasion? I am far from suggesting that such things are impossible. Human nature is capable of disinterestedness greater than this. I would only point out that such a system of bearing one another's burdens presupposes once more a disciplined self subordination in all ranks of the community in strange contrast to our present attitude of mind.
