EXCERPT FROM: THE INCRDULITY OF FATHER BROWN - CHAPTER 8 - THE GHOST OF GIDEON WISE

HERE IS UNDOUBTEDLY A BOLSHEVIST MOVEMENT IN THE MODERN WORLD, AND IT MUST BE UNDOUBTEDLY RESISTED ... BUT WHAT NOBODY NOTICES IS THAT THERE IS ANOTHER MOVEMENT EQUALLY MODERN AND EQUALLY MOVING:  THE GREAT MOVEMENT TOWARDS MONOPOLY OF THE TURNING OF ALL TRADES INTO TRUSTS ... THAT ALSO PRODUCES WHAT ALL REVOLUTIONS PRODUCE, MEN WHO KILL FOR THAT AND AGAINST THAT, AS THEY DO AGAINST BULSHAVISM.  IT HAS ITS ULTIMATUM AND ITS INVASIONS AND ITS EXACUTIONS.  THESE TRUST MAGNATES HAVE THEIR COURTS LIKE KINGS; THEY HAVE THEI BODY GUARDS AND BRAVOS; THEY HAVE THEIR SPIES IN THE ENEMY CAMP.
