The first principle of the moral law, written alike in the natures of Christians and their adversaries, accounts for such unity pf purpose as can be found in the conflicting social theories of the present day. The desire to establish justice has supported some of the most noble and some of the most terrible movements of history. Today, perhaps more than ever before, there is a need for defining clearly what we mean by justice, since thousands are being led from the truth, not by the promise of economic gain so much as by a passion for social ideals. Here we shall examine only that phase of commutative justice which concerns itself with the ownership of land.
