IWELSH CHURCH COMMISSION
WELSH CHURCH COMMISSION DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT. In the House of Commons on Tuesday on the Civil Service Estimates, Lord BaL carres said he wished to ask a question about the Welsh Church Commission. There had he said, been various state- ments in the Press to the effect that there was disagreement between the Chairman of that Commission and certain of its members. The Secretary to the Local Government Board had told them that his Department was not concerned with the conduct of the business of the Royal Commission. That, he imagined, was the ordinary constitutional position to take up. However, in the newspapers, apparently with the authenticity of be- ing officially communicated, it was said three or four days ago that there was a difference of opinion as to the interpre- tation of the reference to the Welsh Church Commission and as to the con- duct of business by the Chairman of the Commission. It was said, moreover that they were in such a state of difficulty that arbitrators had to be called in; and further it went on to say that the arbit- rators nominated were the Lord Chan- cellor and the President of the Board of Trade. He did not wish to discriminate between two members of the Cabinet. One of these arbitrators was a disting- uished person of judicial mind, but with all respect to the President of the Board of Trade, he scarcely' thought that on the question of the Established Church in Wales it could be alleged that he ap- proached the subject from an impartial point of view. He should be very glad to hear that the statement that the Lord Chancellor was to be arbitrator w cor- rect, but that Mr Lloyd-George had not been called upon to interfere on a subject on which he was an avowed and acknow- ledged partisan. (Opposition cheers.) Mr. J. D. Rees said that the provision for £1,400 carried them up to the end of the current financial year. He would like to know how long provision on this account was likely to be required. Judg- ing from the way in which the proceed- ings were so frequently interrupted to consider the terms of reference it would seem that further provision on account of this Commission might appear even in another supplementary estimate. Could the Secretary to the Treasury give them any intimation as to how long the Com- mision were likely to sit ? He would also like to know whether the sums were paid in a lump sum to each member or how they were remunerated. He presumed that this reference to the arbitrator was. a very unusual proceeding. So far as the people of Wales were concerned, they would \'iew the appointment of the Presi- dent of the Board of Trade as one of the arbitrators not only with equanimity but with satisfaction. There was a strong feeling in Wales that the terms of this reference should have been more carefully drafted, and that its purview should have been long since explicitly ascertained. There was considerable dissatisfaction with the delay which had already taken place in dealing with this matter and he should like the Secretary to the Treasury to answer his questions. If he would do so the Welsh people would be extremely grateful. Sir F. Banbury thought the Govern- ment ought to offer some justification for the Welsh Church Commission which, ac- cording to at least two supporters of the Government was either not being con- ducted on business lines or was not wanted at all. Mr Eilis Davies said Lord Balcarres had thought fit to question the attitude that was likely to be assumed towards the Oommssion by the President of the Board of Trade. He did not know whether the noble Lord had studied the composition o the Commission, but he (Mr Davies) thought that the Welsh nation had a good right to complain of its composition, inasmuch as six of its nine members were members of the Church of England, whiie the great majority of the Welsh people were Nonconformists. The objection he took was not so much to the character of the Commission as to the appointment altogether. The Speaker said that the point was not open to discussion on this vote which was only for a supplementary sum and not for the original cost of the Commission. Mr. Davies, continuing, said the Welsh nation not having requested the appoint- ment of the Commission had a right to enter a caveat to any report that might be presented. So far as he understood, the inquiry was being made by the Com- missioners for the purpose of ascertaining oertain facts and statistics, because in the past there had been a difficulty in obtain, ing statistics. The important matter for the present was that the statistics placed before the Commission should be in such a form as to be not only accessible to the public, but also capable of being tested. In any event, before the Commission re- ported, it was only fair to say that as they had never asked for it they felt that neither were they in any way bound by its report. Mr. W. Brace said he must associate himself respectfully and regretfully with the protest against the, expenditure on the Welsh Disestablishment Commission. He felt that in doing so he was expressing the feelings of the great mass of the nelsh people. Wales sent a solid body of members to the House and if general elec- tions counted for anything Wales had expressed an opinion in favour of Dis- establishment without any necessity for a commission in inquire into the matter at all. He was not going to discuss the work of the Commission. He under- stood it would not be in order. His con- tention was it ought never to have been appointed. The voice of the solid phaianx of Welsh members ought to have been accepted as the voice of Wales, and in entering this protest he should like to say that whatever the Commission might do it was after all the Welsh members, and the voice of the Welsh nation through them. that must be taken into account by the Government and by tho House. As money was so much needed fOr various forms, it was strange it should have been wasted on a Commis- sion which ought to have been ap- pointed. In face of the fact that Wales had made up its mind on the subject, no matter what the report of the Commis- si?11 r)va'Sl e>lSk merR^ers would expect the Government to give them what thev had been sent to ask—a Welsh Disestab- lishment Bill. Mr W. Abraham (Mabon) said the question had been more or less before the House for twenty years. He made his nrst speech on the subject. All the facts and all the figures that could be adduced had been before them over and over again. He, as a Welsh Nonconformist, considered that the present Commission was totally unnecessary. Tre case had been made out for Disestablishment as fully as ever it could be made out. He did not object to the Commission as a commission, but that morning he had read in a daily paper that Royal commis- sions were a more or less easy way of shelving the question. This was what caused him now to address the House. Speaking on behalf of every Welsh mem- ber in that House, he asked for an as- surance from the Government that they were not substituting an inquiry for the purpose of shelving this great and im- portant question to the Principailty. If such was the Government's intention, then he warned them that as they met with obstruction from the Irish benches they would not escape it from the V\ elsh. (Cheers and Unionist laughter.) They believed that their course had been recognised as true and just throughout Hales. For twenty years at least thev had discussed it. (Hear, hear.) Now they wanted a guarantee from the Gov- ernment such as had been given to the Nationalists. If there was one question more than any which touched the hearts ot Welshmen it was this. He called upon the Government therefore to carry out their promises with regard to the Disestablishment of the Welsh Church. (Cheers.) a A. Thomas's Optimism. •T1.11" Jr ec; Thomas said he sympathised « ith those hon. members who were ex- ceedingly apprehensive that the Commis- aion had been appointed in order to sheive the question of the Welsh Church. He did not understand that was the ob- ject at all. It had been said that tlJ-1 Commission had been appointed to con- sider whether Disestablishment was to take place or not, but the Welsh nation had settled that matter for themselves long ago. (Hear, hear). At the last W'e i election every member for a elsh constituency pledged himselg to go in ,,or Disestablishment. He believed, as the Prime Minister had already de- clared, that at the very earliest oppoiV* tunity a measure was to be brought in on this question, whatever might be the findings of the Commission or whenever they might come to those findings. It would be a good deal better for hon. members to adow the Commissioners to settle their business for themselves and to call in whom they liked. The Com- missioners were well able to ma,nag: their own affairs. (Hear, hear.) For his own part, he should have liked that the terms of reference had not been so wide. No doubt it was necessary to have a basis for making the report as to the temporalities of the Church and other matters. He trusted that the question would come up next year for a final discussion and settlement". (Hear hear.) Mr William Moore (Armagh) sugges- ted that members of the Government were endeavouring to interfere with the Commission in the presentation of its report. Mr Lloyd-George said: The Hon. Mem. ber tor Armagh has made a serious charge against two members of the Gov- ernment and against a Lord Justice of Appeal. The Hon. Member said that two members of the Government at- tempted to interfere with the Roval Commission sitting in regard to the VVelsh Church. His suggestion was that they were attempting to influence the members of the Commission in regard to the drawing up of their report. It was an offensive reflection upon the learned and distinguished judge at the head of the Commission that he should be open to any intefesence of that kind. The best answer he could give to the charge was that there was not a shadow of foundation for it from beginning to end. If I had not go up immediately and rc- pudiated such a charge, not only on be- half of the Government, but also on be- half of one of the most high-minded and distinguished judges of our courts, I should have felt I should not have been doing my duty. There has been no in- terference at all. The matter has been purely one of procedure. If there was any attempt to interfere, there was no man who would have repudiated it more strongly than Lord Justice Vaughan Williams. I cordially agree with what the Hon. Member for East Glamorpon (Sir Alfred Thomas) said. This is not a Commission to inquire into the question of Disestablishment. That is a matter that we regard as settled as far as the Welsh people are concerned. You can- not have a commission appointed to in- quire into a politca! controversy. The com. mission was enquiring into certain facts bearing upon that controversy. In every great question that comes to be settled in this House you can always refer to some official statistics, but in regard to this controversy you have not those figures. You have in regard to this controversy at present to depend nnon rival figures supplied by partisans on both sides. i_ One set of partisans would say that the Church represented one half of the population and other that they ropresent one-third or one-fourth. You have therefore nothing to which you can refer. This Commission has been ap- pointed to inquire into figures of that kind which can be proved upon the evi- dence of witnesses in cross-examination. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman said the Welsh Church Commission was not ap- pointed to inquire into the question of Welsh Disestablishment. That was a question which they believed to be settled, so far as the Welsh people were concerned but it was purely a Commis- sion to inquire into certain facts which bore upon that controversy.
Death of Lord Penrhyn.
Death of Lord Penrhyn. Lord Penrhyn died at his London resi- dence, Mortimer House, Kensington, on Sunday night. Death took place at 11.15. following an attack of influenza. He is succeeded by his eldest son, the Hon. Ed- ward Shoito Douglas Pennant. The news of Lord Penrhyn's death evoked the widest feeling of regret throughout North Wales, and especially in Carnarvonshire. Fla'gs are displayed at half-mast at all the principal build- ings at Bangor. The funeral took place P-ace at 2.35 on Thursday at Wioken Park, Stony Stratford, Bucks. The deceased nobleman was the son of the late Lord Penrhyn (formerly Colonel Edward Gordon Douglas-Pennant), and his mother was the late Juliana Isabella Mary, daughter of Mr George Day Daw- kins Pennant. On his wedding the father added the name of Pennant to Douglas, and inherited the large estate of Penrhyn, and the valuable slate quarries of Caebraichycafn, so that on his mother's side the deceased lord possessed some Welsh blood in his veins. He was born in 1836. His father was raised to the peerage in 1866, and when he died, twenty years later, lie was sue- ceeded by the peer who has just died. His first wife was Pamela Blanche Rush- ont, daughter of Sir Charles Rushont Rushont, Bart., and his second, Gertrude, daughter of the late Rev Henry Glynne, rector of Ha warden, so that the late Mrs Gladstone was aunt to the second Lady Penrhyn. Lord Penrhyn sat in Parliament for Carnarvonshire as a Conservative. In 1868 he was defeated at the general election by the late Sir Love Jones Parry, of Madryn. In 1874 he re-captured the seat, llld held it until I860, when lie was defeated again by Sir Watkin WiLiams. He was a J.P. for Carnarvonshire anl deputy-lieutenant. He occupied a prom- inent place in the public life of North Wales, especially the counties of Carnar- von and Denbighj on account of his num. erous tenants—hundreds in number—and his army of slate quarrymen. Lord Penrhyn was a man of strong character, yet of a kindly disposition. His attitude towards his workmen during the great strike is well known. He then showed himself a man who, cost what it i llllght, would brook no interference with his authority, who regarded his workmen with the benevolent eye of a feudal lord, who was prepared to do much for their I welfare, but who, on the other hand, would lose every penny of his fortune rather than concede to them the power of interfering in his method of organising and paying for the labour in his quarries. And yet this strong man is said to have on more than one occasion shown the heart of a child. On one occasion one of the strikers who had been ill, and also., with his family, had since been suffering from actual hunger, happened by seme chance to cross his lordship's path. Struck by the man's emaciated appear- ance, Lord Penrhyn asked his tale. Be- fore the man had finished, his lordship's eyes were moist, and he was hurriedly searching his pockets for money. The man had a gift of gold and an easy situa- tion which put him permanently bevond tne reach of want. v

Another wrote that he understood a sentence had been passed upon him and it it is to be, he added, "it is to be, and God help me, and as true as there is a judge with you there will be a judge over us all.

If he had to go to prison, he would go like a man.—It was decided to enforce the orders in all the cases. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL, Mr. Edward Hughes presiding. Miscellaneous.—The Inspector reported that there were structural defects at the Tavarn, Penegocs. A notice was served on the owners, but nothing had been done. He also called attention to the insanitary state of the drain and cottage at Cemmaes. A case of diphtheria was notified from Isy_ garreg parish and the Inspector reported the state of certain premises in regard to which notices had been served, but nothing done.—The Council decided to call immed- iate attention to all the cases reported.— The Surveyor (Mr. Richard Williams) re- ported that Eglwys Haiorn and Nanty- llan road, Uwchygarreg, required widen- ing for 160 yards and he suggested that the hedge should be put back for four feet so that two carts should, be able to pass. The cost was estimated at P,11, apart from the price of the lin(I.-Alr. John Hughes produced a letter from Dar- owen Parish Council reminding him of their requests respecting the various mat. ters, including the widening of roads suf- ficient for carts to pass, and the Clerk was directed to reply explaining wfhat had been done.—It was decided to com- municate with Lord Herbert Vane Tem- pest as to his terms for the piece of land required for widening Nalltyllan road.— The Clerk said he had received corres- pondence suggesting that the powers of district councils in regard to public health and housing should be transferred to county councils, but no action was taken, the Chairman saying that the expendi- ture would probably be increased if that was done.—The Clerk was directed to write to Mr. Henry Lewis, owner of cot- tages at Derwenlas, the Inspector stating that Mr. Lewis did not consider it his duty to do anything, and also to com- municate with the Trustees of the C.M. Chapel upon whom a notice had been served to provide a drain. The notice had expired and nothing done.—The Sur- veyor was directed to test the quality and quantity of the water at Cemaes.

S. Mat- thews was re-appointed medical officer and Mr. Richard Wrilliams surveyor and inspector. Medical Report.—In his annual report, Dr. Matthews stated that in Isygarreg and Uwchygarreg there were eleven deaths and fourteen births Darojven, 54 deaths and 86 births; Pennal, 17 deaths and 14 births. The population of the whole district was 5.244, and the number of deaths was 82, births. 114, compared with 75 deaths and 113 deaths in the pre- vious year. Forty persons died over 65 years of age; 10 over 80; and 1 over 94 years. The greatest number of deaths occurred in April, namely, fifteen, and the smallest was three in the months of February and July. It was remarkable that there were five deaths in August, five in September, and five in October. The death rate did not seem to have been influenced by climatic conditions. He was giad to report that phthisis was on the decline, there having been only two deaths which was the lowest number he had ever recorded in one year. There were twenty-one deaths from chest di- seases. a slight increase over the previous year, and a considerable in. crease in the number of deaths form heart diseases. The num- ber of deaths from cancer was nine com- pared with two in the previous year. An outbreak of diphtheria, occurred at Cemmaes and one case proved fatal. Cemmaes village was in an improved san- itary condition and the Parish Council were about to construct a reservoir to flush the drains. The woollen factories, quarries, and workshops were in a satis- factory1 state. Most of the notices served respecting nuisances had been complied with. Several new dwelling houses had been built and many made more up-to-date. There were few houses scarcely lit for human habitation, but houses were scarce and he considered it a duty to make every possible effort to induce owners to repair them rather than cause the tenants to be evicted. Public drainage had been much im- proved. The water supply of several districts had been analysed and found satisfactory. Pennal had the poorest supply of pure water in the whole dis- trict. Special attention had been given to cowsheds and dairies. The sanitary condition of the district had been consid- erably improved and would favourably compare with any other rural district in Wales similarly situated, although it was far from being what he would wish.—The report was deferred for further consic1*- eration.
