In the course of his speech

Conditions Unhealthy
Under the - present capitalist
system, niasses of people - were
working under r unhealthy condi
tions at low wages, while at the
other end of the social scale were
people so. rich that even Imag
ination 'was , unable to devise
a means of spending their super
abundance of wealth. Capitalism,
he continued, " has not always ex
isted; it was only one stage In the
erolution of 'social economy and
was rapidly passing away.
Mr. Snowden argued that the
whole business of parliament was
dealing with, failures of private
enterprise. He declared : that 88

country was '. owned by two and
