NATIONALISATION.
OPPOSITION' TO BRITISH SCHEME. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright, London, Jan. 19. Mr. Philip Snowden (formerly a Labor M.P.), speaking at Glasgow, said that the experience of the war period showed that there was all the difference in the world between organising things and controlling men. It was possible to organise inanimate machines" efficiently, but men were different, and it would be fatal to our success for any nationally-owned industry to try to impose a uniform system of management on the whole country.' He did not wish to see the mines and railways nationalised, if it meant management by the present Government. An efficient democratic system would be management by a national joint board, containing representatives of the community and workers and district boards, the latter dealing with the rights anii grievances of the men locally. Lord Robert Cecil, delivering the Earl Grey Memorial Lecture, reviewed the evils of nationalisation, which, he said, would tend to make the wages question a political issue. He advocated a partnership between labor and capital. —Aus.-N-Z. Cable Ansa.
