The S.D.F. consists of Socialists. The land, the means of producing and distributing wealth are now owned by private persons, who take to themselves the greater part of the wealth created by labour of the workers who sell brain and labour power for wages.

The poverty, degradation, and misery in which millions of our fellow citizens exist is the result of private possession of the means for producing wealth required by all.

The people should own what the people need. That is to say, the land, factories, railways, and all things essential to wealth production, should be owned by the community, and used for the common good. This done, and the socially-produced wealth distributed in accord with the needs of the people, poverty would cease, and equal opportunity bring comfort and culture to all.

This great change in Society demands the organisation of the working-class into a political party having Socialism as its aim. The S.D.F. is that party, and endeavours to spread a knowledge of its principles by every means available.

If you desire to know more about the S.D.F., and if you agree with its principles and desire to join, application may be made to the local branch Secretary or to the Secretary of the S.D.F., H. W. LEE, 21a, Maiden Lane, Charing Cross, London, W.C. A full list of the local Branch Secretaries and their Addresses is published in "Justice."
