NATIONALISATION OF INDUSTRIES.

MR SNOWDEN’S VIEWS

Australian and N.Z. Cable Association Received January 22, 11.30 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 19.

Mr Snowden, speaking at Glasgow, said that the experience of the war period showed there was all the difference in the world between organising things and organising and controlling men. It was possible to organise inanimate machines efficiently, but men were different. It would be fatal to our success for any nationally-owned industry to try and 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 and grievances of the men locally.

LORD ROBERT CECIL’S IDEAS.. LONDON, Jan. IE). Lord Robert Cecil, in delivering an Earl Grey memorial lecture, reviewed the evils of nationalisation, which would tend to make the wages question a political issue. He advocated partnership between Labour and Capital.
