If s even six weeks ago, heen rash enough to predict such a | thing, he would have been marked | s crazy. And it is all because, for the first time in six y a states man is battling for the hard-pre ed British taxpayer and telling Brit- | ain’s late Allies that Britain is not | g0ing to be the goat of their financial | plans. | A Contrast in Men It is the turn in the long lane. For five years, in every conference de-| signed to liquidate the debt and mol- | lifty old hatreds, Britain was repre \ sented by Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary in the T net. He came fo be considered n\ wooden lath painted to look hko‘ steel. He was deemed the tail to Briand's kite. What the wished, he largely O. I So when The Hague conference of | the powers was called to take up the | Young plan for the final settlement | of reparations Germany was to pay. nobody looked for' much trouble | from England. | But they forgot Snowden. He is no | wooden lath. He is all steel. Where Chamberlain, in highly polished | diplomatic language, was accustomed to call a spade an agricultural in- strument with which one loosened and removed earth, Snowden in plain language called a spade a spade.. It shocked the French, who called him a cad, and the more they insulted | him in their press, the more the British cheered their champien. What Young Plan Provided The high spots of the Young plan were three: altered s the ) mnch the percentages of \A\Y\O\is nations were It divided the payments Germany was to make into two classes, uncon- ditional and conditional. The former were to be paid by Germany in any event. The latter were to be post- poned or suspended in case Germany | had financial difficulties. The pay- ments to France, Ttaly and Belgium | were to come largely out of the un- conditional reparations. Those of Britain were to come largely out of the conditional payments. The other | countries were, therefore, sure of their swag. Britain was not. And, furthermore, a part of the repara- | tions was to he made in goods— | largely to Britain. Snowden plainly told the confe ence he was not having any. He would not agree to any alteration of the Spa percentages, which meant a | net loss to Britain of over $1 000 a year. He wanted a lar; centage of the uncondition ments to be allotted to Brita he was unwilling that Germs keen industrial competitor of Britain | | [l ;“Safest Ride in Town” —should dump reparation goods Britain. Champlon of the Taxpayer The British taxpayers rubbed their | eves in amazement when they read all this. Here was somebody at last Uing for them. And, of all things, the hero who was doing it was the man they had been taught fo fear the most. When the Labor Socialist party was going on from strength to strength, the Tory and Liberal | leaders respected the emotional and | romantic Ramsay MacDonald, but they dreaded Snowden man | who worked according to logic and | carried his logic to the point of | ruthlessne: Snowden's career is romances of world politics. He was vears ago, his father being a poor weaver of Cowling. The son haa | an aptitude for books. Largely by his | own efforts, he educated himself and entered British governmental | service through its civil service | ranks. But when he was 29, one day while riding a bicyele, he had an a cident which broke his frail hody. He hovered hetween life and death. His former work now was impossible, and for a year he lay in bed passing the long lours by reading. He had been a Liberal in politics. His studies made a S alist of him. His Political Rise When Snowden was able to leave his room, he was doomed to go | through the world with the aid of a | r of sticks. He made his living | by lecturing and writing. He be- | came chairman of the Independent | Labor party for a long period of years. He contested the House of | Commons seat in the impregnable Tory town of Blackburn«in 1900, but | was defeated. He was elected in 1906 | and held the seat until 1915, when | he was defeated, because, like his | chief, the present Premier MacDon- ald, he was a convinced pacifist and said so all during the war. In 1 he went < to parliament His greatest triumph hitherto came on April 12, 1924, when, as chancellor of the exchequer in Eng- | land's first Socialist government, he | introduced his great budget in which he took the tax off the people's breakfast table. Wins Epic Tribute Tt was a dramatic scene. He stood there in the house of commons, his sticks by his side. His face attracted attention with its blue eyes hollowed by suffering, his strong, well-formed | nose, his thin, determined lips. He spoke for hours. The increasing pal- lor of his always white face showed | fhe physical pain e was sutfering Rut from every side of the house, ardless of pa came the crie Go on! Go on!" It was a vel 1y paid tribute.
