MENhaveforalongtimebeen accustomedtogivetoChrist thetitleofKing,becauseof theperfectionthroughwhichHeexcelsallcreatures.Itwasnot,however,untilDecember,1925,thatPope PiusXIdeclaredtheFeastofJesus Christ,OurLordandKing,asapublic festivalforthewholeChurch.The institutionoftheFeastwasopportune, formanyhadgonefarfromtheStandardofChristtheKingandsought thevainstandardsoftheworld.This Feastwastoremindallofthetrue King.

X111MissDistinctionBetween PossessionandOwnership?

InTheorySingleTaxMightRestoreOldCatholic LandSystem

ThemeritsofSingleTaxhaverecentlybeenagainagitatedovertheair. WhatistheattitudeoftheChurchtowardsit?HereMr.ChristopherHollis enlightensreaders.HesaysofHenry George'sproposalsthattheyrisked catastrophe,notbecausetheywould notdosomegood,butbecausethey promisedtodosuchanenormous amountofgoodthatmenmightwell becomediscouragedatseeingthemerelymoderateamountofgoodthatthey infactdiddo.

RERUMNOVARUM"was, course,aswritersinthe"Tablet"pointedout,primarilydirectedagainstSocialismandtheabuses ofthecapitalistsystem.Butitalso passeditscondemnationonwhatthe Popeseemstohavethoughtofasthe systemofHenryGeorge.InArticle II.oftheEncyclical,LeoXIII.wrote: "Wearetoldthatitisrightforprivate personstohavetheuseofthesoiland thefruitsoftheirland,butthatitis unjustforanyonetopossessasowner eitherthelandonwhichhehasbuilt ortheestatewhichhehascultivated. Butthosewhoassertthisdonotperceivethattheyarerobbingmanof whathisownlabourhasproduced.For thesoilwhichistilledandcultivated withtoilandskillutterlychangesits condition;itwaswildbefore,itisnow fruitful;itwasbarrenandnowit bringsforthinabundance.Thatwhich hasthusalteredandimprovedbecomes sotrulypartofitselfastobeingreat measureindistinguishableandinseparablefromit.Isitjustthatthefruit ofaman'ssweatandlabourshouldbe enjoyedbyanother?"

NotContrary.

Inconsequenceofthegeneralunderstandingthatthisparagraphreferred toHenryGeorge'ssystem,FatherMcGlynn,ofSt.Stephen'sChurch,New York,whowasasupporterofHenry George,gotintotroublewithhisecclesiasticalsuperiorsandwaseventually excommunicated.However,itwas notreallyverydifficultforthesupportersofHenryGeorgetoshowthat eitherLeoXIII.inhiscondemnation wasnotreferringtotheGeorgesystemor,ifbyanychancehewas,then hehadbeenmisinformedaboutit,and whenFatherMcGlynn'scasewasreopenedontheinstructionsofthePapal Delegate,thedecisionwasgiventhat histeachingwas"notcontrarytothe doctrineconstantlytaughtbythe Church,andrecentlyconfirmedbythe HolyFatherintheEncyclical,"Rerum Novarum'" Thereisthereforenoreasonwhya Catholicshouldnotbeafollowerof George,oragreewithhispracticalproposals.

George,itistrue,hadapiousmannerofwritingasifeverywordofhis teachingfollowedinevitablyfromthe acceptanceofDivinerevelation,which, thoughpreferabletotheanti-religious toneofmostofthesocialreformersof thetime,couldyethardlybewhollyacceptabletoaCatholic.However,what mattersishisproposals.

WhatGeorgeProposed.

HenryGeorge,whenhesaidthat thereshouldbenoprivatepropertyin land,didnotintheleastmeanthat thelandshouldbeadministeredbythe StateinaSocialistsystem.Hisproposalshadnothingtodowiththat. Thekeytotheunderstandingofhis teachingisthedistinctionbetween ownershipandpossession.There

HenryGeorgewasstruck,asall thoughtfulmenmusthavebeen,bya paradoxofindustrialism.

Theparadoxwasthis.Asprocesses improved,therealcostofproducing mostofthearticlesofeverydaylifethatis,theamountoflabour,bothultimateandimmediate,requiredtoproducethem-wasvastlydecreased.Yet theirmarketcostwasreducedbutlittle,ifatall,andtherewasnorisein thestandardoflivingofthepoorat allcomparabletotheincreaseofsociety'sproductivepower.Whywas this?

Theexplanationwasthatindustrialism,basedoncoal,requiredtheconcentrationoffactories.Ergo,parallel tosociety'sincreasedproductivepower wentanincreasedconcentrationof production.Thismeant,underthe systemthatwehave,thattheowners oflandinthefortunateplacesfound theirproperty,throughnolabourof theirown,increasinginvalue.Those ofthemwhowereexceptionallyfortunatecouldchargemoreorlesswhatthey likedfortheirgroundrents,andcould thuskeepthepriceoftheproductsof industryuptotheiroldlevel,merely puttingintotheirownpocketsanydifferencethattheremightbebetween oldpriceandnewcostofproduction.
