The gravitational collapse of a rotating magnetized cloud of 10,000 solar masses is calculated in the spherically symmetric approximation. The results show that the assumption of local conservation of magnetic flux and angular momentum leads to serious difficulties in explaining the origin of multiple star systems and star clusters within the framework of the condensation hypothesis. It is argued that allowance for deviations from spherical symmetry and for partial loss of angular momentum will not change the present conclusion in a qualitative way.
