“In this lecture, delivered on the four hundredth anniversary of Leonardo’s death, Mr Holmes sets out to show that Vasari’s judgment of the master—‘an artist of marvellous gifts who frittered them away on toys and trifles’—is wrong. Today we know more of Leonardo’s mind than did Vasari, so that we may ‘reverse the traditional formula and regard him as a very great man of science, who made a living by his talent as an artist and an engineer.’ Mr Holmes supports his contention by numerous and interesting quotations from Leonardo’s note-books.”—Ath

HOLMES, JOHN HAYNES. Is violence the way out of our industrial disputes? *$1.25 (5c) Dodd 331
20–7773
Is violence the way out of our industrial disputes, which the war, far from curing as it was hoped, has aggravated into a condition of chaos comparable only to the military chaos that went before? In the three addresses in the book, originally prepared for the Community church of New York, the author outlines a doctrine of non-resistance which alone can solve the problem satisfactorily. Between the struggle of capital and labor there can be no compromise. Labor must win but neither can win through violence. The presence of certain psychological elements, not impossible of achievement, are necessary to solve the problem: co-operative good-will on the part of labor, renunciation and confidence on the part of capital, and on both a viewpoint of human relationships taught by the prophet of Nazareth. Contents: The answer for capital; The answer for labour; The better way; Conclusion.
