That the law may be in harmony with its principle, that it may be truly inspired by that spirit of justice for which it is commended, it must while facilitating expropriation lower the legal price of money. Otherwise, the reform concerning mortgages is but a trap set for small proprietors, a legislative trick. Lower interest on money! But, as we have just seen, that is to limit property.
A still more oppressive measure came in 1908, when, in clear defiance of the German Constitution, the Prussian Government actually took powers and were voted funds from taxation paid by Poles and Germans alike for the compulsory expropriation of Polish owners against whom nothing whatever could be alleged except their non-German nationality.
Expropriation in the name of society may be likened to a contract of convenience, agreed to by each with all; not only then must the price be paid, but the convenience also must be paid for: and it is thus, in reality, that the indemnity is estimated.
He wrote in the Taschuo-Koron of Tokyo, that the Koreans have no objection to the construction of good roads, but that the official way of carrying out the work is tyrannical. "Without consideration and mercilessly, they have resorted to laws for the expropriation of land, the Koreans concerned being compelled to part with their family property almost for nothing.
What! a mere peasant stand in the way of a great enterprise?" "You intend expropriation then?" The voice of Don Silverio was very calm and sweet, but his countenance was stern. Corradini was irritated beyond measure. He did not desire to play that great card so early in the game. "I do not say that," he muttered. "There must be parliamentary sanction for any forced sale. I spoke in general terms.
The mass of the agricultural population became mere labourers without rights of property on the soil they tilled; thousands lost employment and swelled the ranks of sturdy beggars; and sporadic disorder came to a head in Kett's rebellion in Norfolk in 1549, which was with difficulty suppressed. But even this highhanded expropriation of peasants by their landlords stimulated national development.
How many hundred thousand gulden had he made in similar circumstances by buying hovels before the expropriation, and selling them afterward to the government at the price of palaces? Only he would certainly like to have seen the plans, and begged his future son-in-law as prettily as possible to let him have just one peep at them.
I doubt if they will be able to stave it off to the end of the long struggle which is still before us if the militarism of Germany is really to be arrested and discredited. Expropriation and not conscription will be the supreme test of Britain's loyalty to her Allies. The British shipowners, in particular, are reaping enormous but precarious profits from the war.
Professor Bernhard goes so far as to say that he doubts if even the putting into force of the expropriation law of 1908 will bring about any better results. To an American this lack of unity seems to be perhaps of exaggerated importance.
Carnegie alludes, but there is no radical difference in principle, and the Labour Party accepted the present law as being a considerable installment of what they want. Carnegie remarks that "we must read the bracketed works in the light of Mr. Churchill also aims at the ultimate expropriation of the whole future unearned increment of the land.
