NEW RIGHT-RADICAL JOURNAL Lord Lymington Explains
By a C.H. Reporter A new literary monthly to counteract some of the thunder on the Left makes its appearance this week. Its name is New Pioneer, and its editor is Viscount Lymington.
Anthony Ludovici, Patrick Donner, M.P., Philip Mairet, Maj.-Gen. J. F. C. Fuller, and A. K. Chesterton are among the con tributors. Their dominant theme is the regeneration of England, through a full use of national resources, through a solving of the problems of unemployment, malnutrition, decreasing birth-rate, wastage of land.
A. K. Chesterton is a cousin of G.K.C. With much force he writes of the need of making full use of the peace granted to us at Munich by reconstructing the nation, making it worth defending. He blasts the folly of complacency or a war psychosis that can see safety for Britain only in increasing gas-masks and gas cylinders.
Viscount Lymington told the CATHOLIC HERALD of the policy of his journal.
" New Pioneer is completely non-party. Our basis is national integration through the encouragement of individual responsibility, the strengthening of the family life as a fundamental of society.
" We favour a more widespread distribution of property inasmuch as we aim at the taxation of irresponsible rather than
responsible holding of property. Naturally we would support the small capitalist against the combine or trust.
" With many of the characteristics of the regimes of Germany and Italy we may not agree, but we believe that England can work in accord with those two countries."
