ENDING OF EPOCH
TIME TO TAKE STOCK PLANNING FOR FUTURE OPINIONS IN LORDS PEACE PREPARATIONS (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 3 p.m. RUGBY, Dec. 5. Lord Snell, who spoke in the House of Lords before the Foreign Secretary, Viscount Halifax, to-day saia that it was advisable to think now about the kind of world we wanted to leave behind us. “As I see the present situation, we are at the end of an epoch,” lie continued. “I believe that capitalism is not only dead, but is condemned and nothing whatever can restore it in our time.” He suggested that a Ministry of Reconstruction ought now to be set up beginning preparations for the time when peace again reigned. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Lang, said it was not possible to contemplate without some shame the recurrence of war twice in the lifetime of a single generation, and he thought the reason might be that during the: last war little thought was given to the terms of the subsequent peace. He felt that the younger generation might nbt be able to put its whole effort into this war unless they knew, not merely that freedom would result, but that yet another generation would nbt be daunted by the shadow of war.
