- 1918 - Letter, Everyman, April, in
which he wrote: "One matter of
vital importance in The Great Adventure program is that it
clearly sees the real cause of war and proposes to abolish war
by removing the cause. To abolish the privilege of holding land
idle will not only win the war against special privilege in
Europe, but all over the world -- for special privilege knows no
country or nationality. Like the pirates of old it flies the
black flag and is the people's enemy everywhere. We should
concentrate all our efforts on California now, where the
opportunity seems to favorble for success."

- 1955 - Comment in Charles Albra Barker (Henry
George, 1955, p.577): "Since
1892 Catholic thinkers have contemplated as within reason
George's distinciton between property in land and other private
property, and seem to have been positively affected. The
writings of Father John A. Ryan of Catholic University, in the
century American Catholicism's outstanding social thinker, are a
case in point. this scholar rejected George's formulas, but
agreed in part on taxation and on the social nature of rent."
