The Committee on the Millennium It Meets and Does a Number of Other Things Tue Committee on the Millen- nium decided at its last meeting to abolish the so-called capitalist sys- tem and to set up some other so- called system of self-government in its stead. The vote of the Committee was unanimous. Following this action the Commit- tee extended a vote of confidence to Mr. Philip Snowden of England—a province of the British Labor party —who was declared to be on the right track. It was the sense of the meeting that the capitalist system had failed. Or, if it had not failed, it had had plenty of time to do so and its fail- ure to make the most of its oppor- tunity was taken as a sign that some- thing radical should be done. It was time that some other system should have a chance.

The Committee felt that not quite enough emphasis had been laid on this phase of our civilization up to the present time. It was also recommended that steps be taken at once to check the growing waste in partially burnt matches, an evil which was declared to have assumed world-wide propor- tions. A sub-committee was appoint- ed to make a survey of the situation with a view to determining exactly how far the burnt matches discarded throughout the world in a given year would reach if laid end to end, and if so, why.
