LAUNCH SOCIALIST
MOVE IN COMMONS
Challenge to Capitalism To-
night Marks Epoch in
British Politics.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 2o.-Socialism
throws down the gauntlet to capitalism
in the house Of commons tonight when
Philip Snowden, one of the leaders of
the independent labor party, puts a
motion denouncing the capitalist sys-
tenn" as a failure and proposing that
legislation be directed toward its
gradual supercession "by an industrial
and social order based upon public
ownerships and democratic control Of
the Instruments of production and dis
tribution."
1t will be the first time in history
that socialism has launched in the
British parliament a direct formal
challenge of the existing order, and the
event, discussed In the press for sew
eral days. is regarded as one Of the
most significant happenings in a long
time.
support of Other Parties.
All the other parties in the house
are united in opposing Mr.. Snowden's
motion, and their whips have urgently
called their respective supporters to
attend tonight's sessions.
Amendments have been framed by
every party. That prepared by the
conservatives declares that "in view
OF the admitted efficiency OF the cap
italist system" efforts should be made
TO extend II. The amendment con-
cludes with declaration in favor
OF giving workers in each industry
IAN opportunity of being associated
legitimately with its direction and
management"
The independent liberals amend
ment states various reasons against
socializing industry and asserts that
the existing evils can and must be
remedied, not by sudden and revolu-
tionary changes. but by wise and
beneficial economic policy which the
amendment outlines.
The national liberals also will set
forth various objections. This groups
amendment expresses the belief that
social redress Is obtainable without
overcoming the present basis Of So
ciety, retaining TO the state the
benefits Of individual Initiative"
Little Time for Solution.
Inasmuch as the motion will not
be submitted until Sis o'clock, and
as the discussion will presumably
end at II. under the rule applying
TO a private members business. there
will not be much time for q solution
Of the problems involved. II is. there
fore, uncertain whether the motion
Will go to a division.
Mr. Snowden desires division on
the original motion, but il will! be
at the speakers discretion to call for
a discussion OF any amendment; the
choice of which one rests with him.

OF the problem and help the develop
ment Of this new art.
Mobile services of the war branches
of the government possibly have been
overlooked in the ALLEGATION of wave
lengths. Commander D. c. Bingham of
the Navy warned the conference.
Commander Bingham said the deveI-
opment of aircraft has not reached
Its peak. and that possibly the devel-
opment of this branch of the service
would parallel the development OF
radio. He added that inasmuch as
all hroadcasting stations, the govern
ment would have to depend on civic
bodies for their assistance in regula-
tion.
Demand Exceeds Supply.
The demand for wave lengths ex-
ceeds the supply, according to Dr.
Alfred y. Goldsmith, secretary Of the
Institute Of Radio Engineers. DR.
Goldsmith said that unless a broad
casting station uses its wave length
constantly its use Is unjustitied
simultaneous transmission with in
reference. DR.. Goldsmith added.
The present question, and the most
pressing one before the conference,
he declared, was how many broad
casting channels may be carved in
the air and who shall best use them.
Representing the amateurs of the
United States, Hiram Percy Maxim
a leader in amateur radio work, said
the industry must learn to Coop
crate. and that without this suggest
ed cooperation uninterrupted trans
mission Is hardly possible.
Six Bands for Broadcasting.
In an agenda submitted to the con-
ference for discussion W. .. Terrell,
chief radio inspector Of the Commerce
Department. says the inspection COM
mittee has provided six bands of wave
lengths for the broadcasting service,
two of which are within the govern
ment reservation. Heretofore the
broadcasting service has been limited
to the specific wave lengths of $50, 400
and 4S5 meters. The new arrange
ment, the agenda says. will permit
the reception of signals from several
close proximity with the minimum in
reference possible under present
limitations provided receiving ap-
paratus of reasonable selectivity is
employed and adjusted efficiently.
The committee recommends that
only one wave length be assigned to
each broadcasting station except sta
tions authorized and licensed to
broadcast government reports, which
should be transmitted exclusively on
the wave length designated and re-
served for this service.
"In the absence of the required
legal authority" the report concludes.
