SnoWden Reveals Labor Plan
to NationaIize Land; Says
Private Use Must Cease

LONDON, May 5 O.N.SD.
definite plan by the Labor gov
ernment to nationalize Britaln's
great estates on the grounds that
land was given by the Creator
mot for the private use of dukes,
but for equal use by all his chill
dren," was seen today in the
wake of a speech by Chancellor
of the Exchequer Philip Snowden,
explaining his land-tax proposal.
The speech gave the first key
as to why Snowden saw fit to
designate the proposal as the
most important angle of the
budget he introduced in the
House of Commons last week.
Explains His Plan
Courting the undying hatred
of Britain's landed gentry" the
Chancellor explained his propo-
sal in some detail, intimaCing
the land tax was to be the first
step toward naturalization of
land and that the mere revenue
from the new tariff was not his
sole objective.
The measure, he explained, rep
resentS the governments inten-
ton Of asserting the right of the
community to ownership of the
land. He added:
"If private individuals con-
tinue to possess a nominal
claim to land, they must pay
rate to the community for
the enjoyment of it. They
cannot be permitted to enjoy
the privilege to the detriment
Of the community.
Freedom Restricted
Land differs from all other
commodities in various respects.
Land was given to US by the
creator, not for the private use
of the dukes but for equal use
by all his children. Restriction
of freedom in the use of land
is a restriction of human
liberty.

the United States, too would
eventually be part of the
proposed syndicate.
He said establishment of such
an organization throughout the
world would insure a fair price
for the consumer, and provide
a demand,and-production balance

liable benefit to the worker. He
said:
I'm continental Europe" the
coal situation is improving. The
producers are organizing well,
and are firmly established. An
organized coal syndicate in
England is on the way, but is a
matter of time. The begin
ming of such a syndicate has
been established, but as yet
is only six months old, and
will be developed slowly.
Prices to Be Stabilized
'When English producers are
organized and welded into the
whole, prices will be stabilized.
And we will not find one
locality paying one price for
coal while another pays a
higher or lower price. We will
let the burdens be equaliZed.

Gall, who was not going to change, sat
on the upper porch step few feet above
the path and stared at the beauty and

Already she knew several things that

She looked charming In her old

day at Muller's.
Van leaped out to take her suitcase;
they were laughing, delighted to be TO-
gether again, as they slowed 1t in the
rumble.
One thing still disturbed her. When
she had come downstairs that morning
she had found Ariel lingering over

But this rare demonstration from cool
little Ariel had brought no responsive
happiness to Calls heart. To have
Ariel protecting her, abetting her in
deceit, in dealing with what was not
open and fair, had given her wretched
sensation that the solid ground was
failing beneath her feet.
Driving along the country roads that
were smothered in Spring beauty, her
spirits rose. Nothing could prevent her
having a week end in q Los GatoS
country house now. On Sunday evening
she would Join the family at the din

back at work and everything would re-
, turn to normal. But she would have
this wonderful memory as so much pure
gain.
She was always in a gale of high
spirits when she was with Van, any
way; it was impossible to be other
wise; he was the gayest Of the gay.
He laughed at everything, he made q
joke Of everything, his life was one long
search for amusement and entertain
ment.
But why shouldn't he? Gail would
sometimes ask herself, looking into the
handsome, likable face. He took fun
with him wherever he went. He was
not a fool, for all his frivolities. Over
and over again the girl was struck
