Mr. H. G. Wella, who at the General Election was the unsuccessful and is still the Labour candidate for the University of London, was the guest of a number of graduates of the University who have Labour sympathics at a dinner on March 21st, of the University Club. He said the sort of discussion that had been going ou in the House of Commons between abstract Socialism and abstract individualism seem- ed to him a very empty discussion indeed. In theory they all believed they did their best work when free to chocso the sort of

Tho real question was, having regard to the intel- ligence and moral quility of the community at the present time, how much of the con crete things of the world should be subject to private ownership, and administration, and how much should be under some form of collective ownership. -

Was the free hand of the private owner necessarily the best control? His answer was "No." The Labour party pointed out that under the private ownership system there had been enormous waste und, in. The ease for public ownership

It would be no new departure if presently private ownership of the railway shareholders was pushed out of the management altogether, and restricted to a charge or annuity dependent on the amount of trafic. There was at presant too much private ownership, and this was neither efficient nor did it make for the common good. The un-

"So far from believing that these rich men who co wastefully dominate our world to-day created the sciences and industries upon which they make their profit," declared Mr. Wells, we believe that they have jumped on to those industries and sciences. They are an excrescence, a vitality.ccosum- ing excrescence upon the body politic. We believe they have been able to do this because of the exaggerated idea of private ownership that still pervades our world.”
