Most wage-earners would welcome even a servile life-contract of guaranteed employment as a boon
Drawn from what Hilaire Belloc said
What Hilaire Belloc actually said
- Hilaire Belloc Anglo-French writer and historian (1870 to 1953)
What proportion would refuse it no one can determine; but I say that even as a voluntary offer, and not as a compulsory obligation, a contract of this sort which would for the future destroy contract and re-erect status of a servile sort would be thought a boon by the mass of the proletariat to-day.
