Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Socialism for Pacifists
During last summer so many Pacifists, attracted to the i.l.p. Movement by its opposition to the war, wrote to me asking for a simple statement of the case for Socialism as Opposed to the case for Militarism that I decided to attempt to write a small book to meet the demand. I had written the first three chapters when I was removed to Pentonville Prison to serve a sentence imposed under the Defence of the Realm Act for attach ing my signature to a lea?et denouncing Conscription. The last five chapters have been written during a week's holiday at Letchworth, previous to my arrest under the Military Service Act. I regret that I have no oppor tunity to revise the ms.; there are many blemishes I would like to remove. Under the circumstances I must ask the indulgence of my readers, and trust that where there is repetition it will only serve to emphasise points which have seemed to me important.
