An appeal for further support has been issued by the

Land Union, in view of the new campaign for land taxation that has been started by Mr. Lloyd George. Captain Pretyman, the president of the Union, asks every owner of land or house property to join it, with a view to securing "that national burdens shall he evenly distributed according to ability to pay and shall not all be piled upon land and property owners while foreign investments and other forms of wealth escape scot free." A very large fund is required for propaganda, and subscriptions should be sent to Mr. C. H. Kenderdine, St. Stephen's House, Westminster, S.W. We need not say that the proposal has our warmest approval.
