SNOWDEN, BRITISH
HERO, OWES IT TO
BICYCLE ACCIDENT
Was Converted to Socialism
While Suffering in Bed

BIZ NEA Serrice

By NEA Service
LONDON, May 20.-Exhibited by
Tory orators as a terrible hobgoblin
who would wreck the credit, bust
ness and finance of Great Britain,
Philip Snowden is today blessed in
a million British homes as the
bringer Of the cheapest breakfast
table the kingdom has known since
the outbreak of the great war. And
in an essentially conservative coLn-
try like this, it's some triumph for
the first Socialist chancellor of the
exchequer in the history Of Britain.
Years ago Snowden wrote a book
on "The Socialist Budget" Later,
in speeches, he didn't shirk the is
sue. He was not afraid to say he
favored a capital levy on great
wealth in order to wipe out stagger-
ing national debts. But when, as
chancellor, he came to build his first
Socialist budget, he didn't attack the
classes at all. Instead. he favored
the masses. He took half the taxes
off of tea, coffee, cocoa and sugar.
At once, all the grocers in the king
dom, not waiting until his proposals

Tars SuperstitiOus

NEW YORK, May 2O.-When the
West Campgaw ran into forty-eight
hours of ensuing gale and fog in
region infested with icebergs, the
sailors attributed their bad luck to
hymn singing by two preachers who
were working their way to Europe
as cattle men aboard ship. The black
robe of a churchman in the early
middle ages was regarded as certain
satsfn1tllna for the craft he sailed on.

For years this SnOwden has been a
DOGGY. His figure has been well

He's one Of the biggest men in
the Labor Socialist party and it is
all due to a bicycle accident which.
seemingly ended his career. Instead
it began it. Snowden was born
sixty years ago in a Yorkshire cot
tage, his father being a weaver. The
boy got a good education, the fam
lily making sacrifices so he might
obtain it. He rewarded their toll by
passing a brilliant examination and
securing a position in the British
civil service in the customs depart
ment In the ordinary course Of
events he would have led the rou-
tine life Of a civil service servant,
slowly being promoted and retiring
with a pension after a certain per
Tod But the bicycle accident made
him give up his job.
Becomes Socialist
Confined to his bed for a long
period, Snowden sought surcease
from pain by intense application to
books. When he finally got up. lame
for life, he was a firm believer in
Socialism. He threw himself with
devouring energy into journalism
and politics. He became one of the
leaders of the Independent Labor
party. He ran for parliament and sat
for Blackburn from 1906 until 1918.
when he was finally defeated be-
cause of his pacifism during the war.
He came back to parliament for
Colne Valley in 1922. The leading
eE&get expert in his party, it was
inevitable, when the Socialists took
hold Of the government, that Snow
den should have charge of the treas
ury department. His speech setting
forth his first budget broke all rec
ords because Of one circumstance
he was listened to by six former
chancellors, all of them in the pres
ent House of Commons. They were
Austen and Neville Chamberlain, Sir
Robert Horne, Stanley Baldwin, H.
H. Asquith and Lloyd George. And
regardless of party, all Of them con-
GRADUATED him when he completed
his speech.
