"PILGRIM TO THE LEFT"
[To the Eator of THE SPECTATOR] Stit,—In her charming review (December 9th) of my book, Pilgrim to the Left, Honor Croome charges me with ignoring certain criticisms of the House of Industry. And accordingly I am guilty of "second-rate journalism." I pledge her my honour I have not seen them. I wish I had. No doubt my hermit habits are to blame.
Two more points : (i) The functional principle is widely different from he "functionalism." I know how important it is to distinguish. It is, in fact, the difference between the static and the d}nimie.
(ii) My critic insists upon the separation of the man from his labour. May I refer her to a celebrated passage on the subject in Marshall's Princip!es of Economics:—Yours faithfully, Little Lrickhill, nr. Bktchley. S. G. HOBSCN.
