Excerpt from The Theory and Policy of Labour Protection His plea for more international exchange of Opinions and international uniformity of practice is one which must be echoed by all who have the cause of Labour at heart. To that larger sense of brotherhood which ex tends beyond the bounds Of country we must look for the accomplishment of the Social Revolution which is surely on the way.
