This article focuses on two books "The Larger Socialism," by Bertram Benedict and "The Labor Movement," by Frank Tannenbaum. Mr. Benedict feels that failure of the Socialist Party in the U.S. to engage the sympathies of any large proportion of citizens is due not so much to any flaw in its main program or to any difficulty in its situation as to defects in its philosophy and tactics. He begins with the assertion that socialism ought to become a broader and deeper movement, concerned not merely with securing for the worker the full product of his labor, but also with building a better culture on the basis of material welfare.
