56ar - ]2.- IV. The social relations in England. ____/__-__.__A a). The opposites between poor and rich. The rulers of England have long forfeited their power. Each laughs then their inner justification, when the people who are in possession of power, a"f"and their moral charac terts justify the possession of the power, i.e. In any country of the earth, however, there are so harsh differences between the ruling Dchicht and the masses of the working people.The men responsible for the often humane conditions belong to the government, are informed about the social gains of the lower classes of the people, but do not worry about any remedy. The reason for this is in the fact that these men themselves belong to the group of capitalists who are enriching themselves with the working class's aspiration.This creation is not out of the habit of propaganda, nor is it based on the testimonies of English and non-Deutch authors. The Frenchman Max O'R e l l writes in "John Bull und sein Insel- heim", Berlin o.J., page 69, about the contrasts in London: o "London is a common mixture of beer and the evening, of schnapps and the Bible, of frunksvcht and hypocrisy,vøn "nerhörtem Schm'tz and unbridled luxury, of'elend and prosperity, of poor, frozen, a's hungry confused menscien and of exceedingly rich and ~ lucky, whose annual income "ns an unhevres capital ersc ers." As the "rescissions" are "adapted" comes from another remark @ Rells. Page 2, 41228
