MRS. M. A. HAMILTON ON "THE ARTIST IN THE SOCIALIST STATE"

Most artists reject Socialism because they believe it menaces their freedom. Yet the artist is, in his inmost being, a Socialist. He is distinguished by his power of creating beautiful objects; but those objects are meant to be appreciated by others­hence artistic work constitutes a service to the community, a service of the very highest order. The artist necessarily demands a communal life in which all may have the opportunity of sharing in his supreme gift.

Now, what does Socialism mean? It means the organisation of the entire resources of society for common service and common enjoyment. The most frightful injustice of our present system is that it excludes from the enjoyment of social advantages a large proportion of our fellow-men. The greatest of those advantages come from art, and everybody has the right to participate in them. This, precisely, was the doctrine of William Morris. He was met by the argument that a keen appre­hension of beauty was exceedingly rare. We now know that this argument is ground­less, for, as Mr. Charles Smith has demonstrated by his experiments in a Ber-

3

mondsey school, almost every child possesses a considerable artistic sensibility wh;ic?­only needs development to become a source of life-long pleasur~. If ~ults exhibIt such distressingly bad taste, it is because neither at school nor m theIr homes have they been encouraged to value beauty. It is therefore incumbent upon us to demand these two things: Freedom for the growing child to have access to beauty; and the establishment of a beautiful environment for all citizens. Both could be accom­plished by political action giving the Government control over material ~esources, town-planning and the production of articles of daily use. The machine, used exclusively for profit-making, will assuredly stamp out beauty: it is. im:perative ~at mechanised industry should be under the control of the communIty m whose m ­terests it exists. Mass-produced articles need not be ugly; they can and should be beautiful. Socialism demands that what is hideous in industry should disappear and what is beautiful should be increased a hundredfold.

In the coming reconstruction of SOCiety the artist will, of course, play an important part. But it must be clearly recognised by all Socialists that any attempt to control or organise the artist would be foredoomed to failure. Individuality is the soul of art. Let the artist please himself I-for only thus can he give of his best to society. The artist is not the servant of the State; rather is the State the servant of the artist. This, after all, is only a reaffirmation of a principle which many Socialists are in danger of forgetting: that socialistic organisation is never an end but always a means. Means to what? Means to the profoundest resthetic enjoyment of all citizens. Art informs life with v·alue. May England, when she finally adopts Socialism, see to it that the artist enjoys not less freedom but more freedom; that those who love his work increase with every generation; and that our whole com­munity shall ultimately unite in that adoration of Beauty which formed the well­spring of all that was most valuable in the culture of ancient Greece !

DR. C. DELlSLE BURNS ON "BARBARISM AND GOVERNMENT" The contrast between democracy and dictatorship is part of a larger confiict of

tendencies, such as that between reason and revelation, or between civilisation and barbarism. In this context "barbarism" does not mean "savagery" but rather a primitive form of social organisation wherein man exhibits less often, amid the prevalent lunacy, those lucid moments which have earned for him the title of "sapiens." We all have certain impulses which do not find an easy outlet In normal life and which are, consequently, either redirected or suppressed. At times, external events disturb the balance of impulses and provide an egress for inhibited desires. It is then that a retrogression occurs to earlier social habits through which we seek relief for such appetencies as are not ordinarily satisfied. This "nostalgie de la boue" is the psychological explanation of the craving for that barbariC, because authoritarian, system of government termed" dictatorship." All government is a process of maintaining those habits which permit men to live with one another; a progressive government is one which schools its subjects into the formation of new habits whereby the range of communal life is constantly extended and raised to higher levels. A parallel to the latter and newer conception of govern­ment may be found in the present educational movement which aims at replacing the tradition of authority and compulsion by a scheme permitting the utmost expan­sion of individuality in mental and manual work. Not what to think but how to think: to teach this is the major problem of advanced educationalists to-day. Government, also, is a form of education. We should therefore expect it to undergo similar changes. A great difficulty, however , h as to be met, for human contacts are now no longer "face-to-face " ; the members of a community do not see those on whom they depend. Hence they have to learn to live with people whom they never know, without either wishing to destroy them or acting as though they did not exist. A form of social organisation which will inculcate the habit of taking an interest in fellow-workers whom we never see, is, for this r eason, highly desirable. It is precisely this kind of habit which is not instilled by a dictatorship. Nevertheless, authori­tarianism does benefit some persons: those who demand relief from the strain of thinking, discover that dictatorship provides that r elief ; those who cannot stand the strain of uncertainty but have a patholOgical propensity to believe something fiercely, fanatically, also find satisfaction in dictatorship. Hence this type of government represents a return to medirevalism: faith disencumbers the intellectually sluggish of the burden of personal reflection and offers the spiritually immature a haven from the terrors of doubt. Democracy, on the contrary, is a method of teaching citizens to govern themselves by rousing an individual interest in public affairs. The pro­gress it desires is a progress in experimentation, in criticism of authority, in the free discussion of opposing views, in the formation of reasoned conclusions. It hopes to

I'

4

bring the ordinary worker to understand his role in communal life, and all men to the realisation that they need one another. Only when it has succeeded in doing this shall we enjoy a civilised process of government.

MR. J. A. HOBSON ON "MAN AND WOMAN" How much do men and women really know about one another? Do men know

as much about women as women do about men? What characteristics difi'erentiate the sexes, and are they fundamental? Such were the questions with which Mr. Hobson's discourse was concerned.

The instinct of sex is both a lure and a barrier. The barrier must always remain if sex is to keep its glamour and its spirit of adventure. An objective study of sex as a barrier can most easily be made among primitives, where it appears as a fear complex. Man is afraid of the feminine in woman, and woman of the male in man. Man being in general more intelligent and stronger, woman found it neces­sary to develop a self-protective technique and a method of "managing" him. Nevertheless, the strong bond of attraction always existed. Matriarchy developed as a result of the need for being certain of parenthood, the father being regarded as only an emergency protector, for providing food, etc. As civilisation evolves, the domestication of the male becomes ever more fine, and the woman's control of man becomes a subtle process, not purely sexual. Sex urge does of course continue to be of primary importance, but it begins to express itself in a more general

I1 and artistic way. Refinements of purely personal satisfaction begin, which are beyond the immediate req11iremellts of survival. Thus woman has, through relying on her wits, come to know man far better than man, relying on force, knows woman. In our modern SOCiety money is the instrument of the coercive male power, though civilised man is normally a willing supporter of the family. Not so willing, however, as woman, since he has stronger attachments outside the family than she has. Man through his financial poSition tends to control the family, though woman has deve­loped a remarkable finesse in extracting money for family purposes.

On the whole women are more skilful than men, though their skill, being cir­cumscribed by home afi'airs, is more limited. Women are not normally addicted to abstract reasoning. Modern feminism and the development of women's mental and physical attributes is partly a result of smaller families. But psychologists are to-day stressing the unconscious attributes of sex, and holding that economic and political equality cannot go far in achieving real equality. In the realm of literature women certainly have their achievements, but the proportion is relatively small. Biologists observe that there is a markedly greater variability among men than women.

Modern feminists tend to ignore entirely the natural inequalities in the sexes so that, for example, women spend far too much time learning mathematics and other abstract sciences. They will never equal men in such professions as Law and Medicine. But in the general communication of knowledge and in languages they excel men. Women have a greater natural aptitude for oratory, though this may be due to the supremacy of their emotions over their intellect. The formal removal of obstacles to women in the professions has enhanced the sex difi'erences, quite apart from the fact that it has aggravated the existing competitive struggle. Men are reluctant to receive orders from a woman; and women generally find it difficult to achieve that impartiality which is so necessary in poSitions of responsible power.

The value of domesticity is much underrated to-day. Women will learn sooner or later that the skill required for the ordering of the home afi'ords far wider scope than the routine work of the outside world, which is the lot of most men and women.

MR. S. K. RATCLlFFE ON "THE SENSE OF SIN" Mr. S. K. Ratclifi'e, on May 13, spoke on " The Sense of Sin." Sir Oliver Lodge, he

said, had written that there is nothing the modern man thinks less about than his sins, and certainly our time has witnessed an immense alteration in the common feeling on this subject. In a new Life of Sir Henry Lawrence, the hero of Lucknow, there is an illustration of the change. Some Evangelical officers with whom he was associated in India complained that Lawrence did not seem to have any comprehen­sion of the doctrine of Original sin ! As a matter of fact, the work of later psycholo­gists does not bear out Sir Oliver Lodge: the Freudians by their insistence upon the importance of the Unconscious are much more in line with the old theologians than are those liberal religious teachers who make nothing of sin.

5

The study of comparative religion reveals the extraordinary prevalence of the sense of sin. It has been as widespread as religious ceremonial; it is heard in the cries of humanity through the long pain of evolution. In the cuneiform records of Sumeria there are penitential psalms that are the counterpart of the Hebrew. It is remarkable how the phenomena are repeated in nearly all races-as, for instance, the idea of vicarious punishment, the intolerable pathos of the accursed scapegoat and so forth. Christianity has been pre-eminently the religion of the sick soul. Sin is associated with the great superstructure of Christian theology. And yet there is little of it in the recorded words of the founder. Jesus lays stress upon the evil of anger, lust, self-deception, and neglect of human charity. He does not refer to the Fall, or even so much as glance at original sin. That tremendous doctrine is mainly the creation of st. Paul and Augustine. It was re-cliscovered by Luther who was alto­gether an Augustinian. The first two centuries of the Reformation period make a vast theatre of sin. We know it in extraordinary detail, for it happens that some of the most conspicuous representatives were men of great power of expression, spiritual egoists on the grand scale. Readers of that fascinating book, William James's "Varieties of ReligiOUS Experience," will remember the varied collection of personal narratives there given. From Luther and .Bunyan to Leo Tolstoy they cover a very wide range, the earlier penitents being little concerned, if at all, with social and ethical offences. It is an appalling side of the tragedy of mankind, this unlimited misery over offenoes that have not been committed, imaginary sins involving an end­less doom; and the liberation from the horror must be reckoned as one of the great gains of the modern age.

Few human beings can ever have been less conscious of guilt than the Evan­gelicals and Calvinists who played so prominent a part in the establishment of capi­talist industrialism. As one historian remarked, they were so much taken up with Adam's sin that they had little thought to spare for their own conduct. Hence the social awakening, which came slowly in the modern age, was largely the work of men and women who were contemptuous of the dogma. A main root of the sense of sin was, of course, the agelong failure of the Church to arrive at a tolerable principle of thought and action in relation to the animal nature of man. Very curious that they should have believed in a perfect and almighty deity, the very principle of good, who yet had created the body and its functions, so shocking that the religious man and woman must turn away from them in shame and disgust. Conviction of sin, said William James rightly, is part of the phenomena of adolescence, and those, of course, are most closely related to the spirit and methods displayed in early training. The religious teacher being dispossessed, it is now the turn of the psychologist; and Dr. Adler's recent appearance at Conway Hall reminds us of the importance of the Vienna school. Who can say that, in the treatment of the sick soul, Vienna may not be in the line of advance from Rome and Wittenberg and Calvin's Geneva?

NOTES Members of the Society who heard Mr. Hobson's Sunday morning discourses last

winter, and those also who had to be content with the neoessarily brief reports in the RECORD, will be very glad to learn that the lectures, with additional matter, are now obtainable in book form. The book, which is entitled "Democracy," is the first volume of a new series issued from the Bodley Head under the title" The Twentieth Century Library." In spite of the rise of dictatorShips and oligarchies in so many countries, Mr. Hobson remains a convinced democrat; but he believes that if demo­cracy is to survive or recover, its institutions must be reformed to meet the needs of the new time. His book provides not only a powerful defence of the principle of democracy, but an illuminating discussion of the needed reforms. The book is on sale at the bookstall, price 2s. 6d. Mr. Hobson has very kindly presented a copy to the Library.

• • • • • Mr. Gerald Heard's new book, "These Hurrying Years" (Chatto and Windus,

7s. 6d.) is an historical outline of the period 1900-1933, a stop-press report, as the author describes it, of the greatest social earthquake which has ever shaken mankind. The book is certainly of breathless interest, and it does much to illustrate one of the recurring themes of Mr. Heard's stimulating lectures in Conway Hall-his belief, namely, that the real issue to-day is between Realism and Humanitarianism, "between those who believe that outer conditions as we have perceived them must dictate ever more thoroughly our social organisation and our personal values, and those who hold that values must be developed until they can assert themselves as facts in social relations and throughout the practical world."

• • • • • Mrs. Cecil Chesterton has gratefully acknowledged, on behalf of Cecil House

(Women's Public Lodging House), Devonshire Street, W.C.I, the parcels of clothes

6

contributed by members of S.P.E.S. ill response to the appeal in the March RECORD. Will any other friends who wish to send discarded clothing and shoes kindly label the parcels "Mrs. Hawkins, for Cecil House," and leave them with the porter at Conway Hall? The parcels are handed over as they are .

.. .. .. .. .. Since the announcement of the proposals for a Children's Circle, about a dozen

members of the Society, some of whom are experienced teachers, have offered their services, and a considerable number have expressed general sympathy with the scheme. On April 11 the General Committee appointed a Sub-Committee to consider it, and the Sub-Committee's Report was submitted to the General Committee on May 2. The hour being then late, it was decided, after a brief discussion, to defer further consideration of the report until the next meeting .

* .. .. .. .. In spite of the efforts of the Members' Committee it is believed that there are

still members of the Society who, through no desire of their own, are but little acquainted with other members. We wish to suggest to them that one of the best ways of making friends in the SOCiety is to attend the Rambles, at which they will be very welcome.

THE ANNUAL MEETING The Annual Meeting will take place on Sunday evening, May 27, at 6 p.m. There

will be a social gathering at 5 p.m. at which light refreshments will be provided. The attention of members is directed to Rule 4, which states: "Those members

only who are twenty-one years of age or upwards, whose names have been twelve months upon the register, and whose seat rents for the previous quarter have been paid, shall be qualified to vote and to hold office."

CONWAY MEMORIAL LECTURE The Con way Memorial Lectures, which are delivered annually, were inaugurated

111 1908, as a Memorial to Dr. Moncure Con way. The Committee Is not yet In pos­session of the necessary capital for the permanent endowment of the Lectureship, and ill the meantime it makes an earnest appeal to all readers of the MONTHLY RECORD either for subscriptions or donations, to ensure the contilluance of the lec­tures. These should be sent to the Hon. Treasurer, Mrs. COCKBURN, Peradeniya, 18, Northampton Road, Croydon.
