The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

THE "PIONEER." I .ATER HOUR OF PUBLICATION. I In future the "Welsh Coast Pioneer" will go to press at noon on Thurs- day. Owing to the numerous engagements on Wednesday afternoon and evening it has been found impossible to set up full reporta in time for the early editions oil Thursday morning. Consequently these reports have been considerably curtailed, and on some occa,sions left out altogether. To avoid this contingency the" Pionoor" will in future bo published several hours later, and the Editor by this means hopes to give fuller and more complete reports of Wednesday's events, as well as a resume of the latest general in- telligence up to the time of going to press on Thursday morning. By means of an ingenious "stop-press" ar- rangement fixed to the printing press it will now be possible to insert any telegram or telephone message after the paper has gone to press. I

THE FINANCES OF RHYL. ♦ Taking aN the orrcumstanoee into con- sideration, none of the Larger North Wales towns has made gratifying financial progress than Rhyl during the past five years. With a raite of 58 7d in the X, a debt of ovoetr £ 5000 on their revenue account, and a trading con- cern draining Che exchequer to the extent of &bout £ 2000 a year, to say nothing of heavy administrative charges which had to be faced, the prospect was not very encouraging five years ago. Now, however, the rate has been seduced to 58 4d, the whole of the debt on the nevenue account has been wriped off, while the has on. the eLeotric lighting concern was re- duced to .£900 last year. The position in re- gard to the last-mentioned undertaking is ItiJ1 not what one would wish, but the rate- payers have the (XMofortiug assurance thai the operations now in progress for rendering the works more adapted to the growing needa of the district will, in duoo course, place the concern on such a firm footing, as will en- able it, we hope, to repay the loss entailed upon it in past years. The statement made by Mr Tilby, on Monday, showed that the Council's present policy exemplified a wise and judicious endeavour to reform and retrench in a general sense, whilst at the same time it showed the care which had been exer- cised in preparing the estimates twelve months ago. The income on the district rate account estimated for the year was < £ 14,430; the amount actually received being £ 14,640. The generaJ receipts were estimated to total X3633, whereas in fact they amounted to JB3774. The estimates had been exceeded on the electric light receipts by X90; on the gas receipts by .£550, and on woatm- revenue by £ 340. In short, the Council had under-esti- mated their income for the year by X1332. The estimated expenditure, on the other hand, was £ 853 below the actual amount. Nevertheless, there was am excess of income over expenditure of .£494, a credit balance equal to a two-penny rate on the district. Moreover, though the Council bad anticipated reducing their debt on the revenue account by .£593, the sum actually cleared off was X1089, despite a reduction of a penny in the rate on the year. Again, on the district fund account the Council commenced the year with a debit balance of £ 983;. now, fo. the first time, they are free from debt on that ac- count. The rat.e has been reduced from 5s 5d to 5s 4d, and the ratepayers are promised an- other reduction next year. All things con- sidered, it was not without reason that Mr Tilby congratulated the Council upon the splendid improvement during recent yrs- an improvement to the attainment of which his own efforts have largely contributed.

Tariff Reform in Lancashire. Tariff Reformers in aJJ parte of the coun- try will be stimulated and encouraged by the signs beginning to aceumulate of the dawn of a mew day in the fiscal politics of Lancashire. The veteran Tariff Reformers, Mr Edwin Bur- gess, of Manchester, in am enthusiastic letter to the "Manchester Courier," on the res-ulta of the recent Tariff Reform meeting in that city, presided over by Six Joseph Lawrence, says -It looks as if Manchester and Lan- cashire is really getting aJive to vital politics and the best interests of our country and Empire. You cannot over-estimate the value of straight talk in exposing the pet phrases, the cant terms, and hackneyed texts used ovetr and over again in support of the political im- posture 'Free' Trade. Sir Joseph Lawrence demonstrated, by ample statistics, the fact that the United Kingdom has, year by year, for the last thirty years, lost her external as well as her domestic markets through the triumph of Protectionist industrial organisa- tions abroad; he clearly proved that the un- taxed competition of the world in the markets of the United Kingdom involved the substitu- tion of foreign for British industry. It was made quite clear that our taxation has vast- ly increaaed, and that in face of our decreas- ing productive wealth and power; there was no difficulty in proving that the results of 'Free' Trade are reflected in the social and economic distress and the political disturb- ance with which we are now so painfully familiar. I think the band of earnest Tariff Reformers at the meeting arrived at the con- clusion that the 'Free' Trade swindle is high protection to foreign invested British capital at the expense of the fixed capital of this oountry and the wages of our working peo- ple." "The meeting," adds Mr Burrgess, "very properly sent a message to Mr Joseiph Chamber lain. This gentleman will be much comforted by the knowledge that a struggle is to be made in Manchester for his policy of maintaining the nation's producing forces and improving the condition of the working classes of our country, his policy to insure the fiscal independence of the Empire far Imperial ends."

The National Eisteddfod. The Colwyn Bay National Eistetldfod Com- mittee have, we think, acted wisely in de- ciding to erect a pavilion for the National Festival that will accommodate 8000 people. Originally, it was intended to provide accom- modation for 15,000 persons, a notion alto- gether too roseate to emtertain as to the size of the audience Likciy to attend the Eistedd- fod meetings. In our columns some months ago Mr fieri ah G. Evans, himself am ex- perienced Eisteddfodwr, pointed out that "at no single meeting at the Carnarvon National Eisteddfod, two years previously, was there an attendance of 7000." Referring to the highly successful Llangollen Festival, he wrote: "On Thursday, the most crowded day of all, the crowd barely reached 8500." In his opinion, "a pavilion to accommooate 15,000, or even 10,000, is absurd." "Given a pavilion," he stated, "capable of comfortably accommodating 7000, or even 6000, and under the control of a careful committee, there is no reason why the Eisteddfod should not be made a financial success. An average pay ing attendance of only 6000 at each Eistedd- fod meeting, and of only 2000 at each con- cert, with £ 125 a day added for season and reserve seat tickets, will bring in a revenue from tickets only of J63000." It should aJso be remembered that there is less danger of unsatisfactory acoustics aboutt the smaller structure. The oommilttoo would, however, be well advised to provide for a wooden rather than a zinc or metal roof, as the latter would prove rather disconcerting through the noose that would be occasioned If rain fell, while any of the meetings were in progress.

— -t. Water Rate Reduced. The Cowlyd Water Board, on Friday, de- cided to -reduce the water Tate from Is to lOd in the X, which means a saving of just over 11000 for the ratepayers during the ensuing twelve months. To now of the constituent districts will this news be mom g-ratifyi-mg than Colwyn Bay, which, by the way, is assessed at £ 75,740, whereas the other three district have an assessable value between them of .246,465. Colwyn Bay have been building their hopes upon this in order to oaunter-balance am inevitable increase in their own general district rate, which includes the waiter charges. What, with the neoernt re- duction of the poor rate by a half-penny, the reduction of two-pence in the water rate, the Council's own policy of economy, and the anticipated profits on their municipal trading concerns, there is good reason to believe that the total rates chargeable at Colwyn Bay during the year will not be much, if any, in excess of those paid last year, so that the reassuring statement made in the Council Chamber a few weeks ago was substantially fair despite all the assertions to the con- tr.aT)'. e

Procre8s of Abergele. Ag to the sta.tememt made a.t MoD,. day's meeting of the Auergele Urban Coun- cil, the financial position of the town is most encouraging. Having wiped off their bank overdraft, the Council has a balance of about MSO in hand. Abergelo and Pemsarm are growing ion popularity, and a progressive governing body can do a great deal to emib-amee the attractions of the place, amd draw more visitors to the town and district. Good work is done in this direction by the Advertising Association, and their efforts are very heLp- ful in gyving publicity to the many advan- tages which the district offers to summer visi- tant.

LLANDUDNO COUNCIL BYE-ELECTION. MR T. W. GRIFFITH, J.P., RETURNED UNOPPOSED. On Monday Mr T. W. Griffltih, J.P., was return tJ without opposition as a representative of the Oajgy- dan Ward on the Llandudno Urban District Council, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the late Councillor Henry Wilson. Mr Griffith, who was the only person nominated, had four oom .'air.)ll papers, which were as follows:- II.—Proposed by OuuzicjIIot James McM&tiLer (chairman of the Council), seconded by Oounciilor E. E. Bone (ohairman-elect of the Council). II.—Proposed by Councillor A. E. Volla-m, sec- onded by Mr James Norrie. III.—Proposed by the Rev. J. Raymond, seconded by Mr A. G. Pugh. IV.—Proposed by Mr O. Llwyfo Roberta, seconded Mr Hedley Be van. At the recent, election Mr Griffiths was unexperedly displaced owing probably to a large number of voters "plumping" for the other two candidates. In his elee- tion address Mr Griffith had only invited the electors to give him one of tbeaT votee. It will, doubtless, be gratifying- to tOO townspeople that Mr Griffith, who has been a member of the Omm- cil lor close upon twenty years, and BlwaYB returned at the head of the poll, will now be in a posrUaa tJ take part in the annual meeting of the Council on JMday. ———————»

Mr EdVrard Rowfendb (Pemuel), in moving that the standaxd of ttio examination for mmili- terial candidates be raised, spoke dajsooruragimgly of the many failarce among :young men who became ministerial students.

PROPOSED RAILWAY DEVELOPMENTS IN NORTH WALES. THE L. A N.-W. RAILWAY AND CARDIGAN BAY. We undprsffcamd that a eoheme is on foot under which the L. and N.-W. Railway Company may shortly acquire and work the narrow gauge ime known m the North, Wales Narrow Gaoge xoadl- wtay, running from Dinas Jmnctian, near Car- narvon, to Rhydda, at the foot of Snowdan. The extension of the line to Reddgetert has already begoin and that will: Enk it up with another scheme, at present in abeyance, for a narrow gauge tine from Beddgedert through the Pace of Aberglasiliyni, to Portmadoc, the termumius of tihe Pestiniog Railwaiy. A conferenoe of railway officials was held at Porimadloo on Friday, at which, we believe, the development of the scheme was fully dliBcuseed. and a definite annonmoament will probably shortly be made as to the L. and N.-W.

PLAIN TALKS ON TARIFF REFORM. THE THIN END OF THE WEDGE. (By S. Skelhom.) I said in a previous article that Tariff Re- form does not mean a return to the misery and sofEering of the "Hungry Forties;" yet what ife more common at Free Trade meetings than to hear the speaker say, "Tariff Reform, or, as I prefer to caJI it, our old friend Protec- tion." Now the difference between the Old Protection and Tariff Reform is so plain that a child can understand it. The Old Protec- 'tion was really prohibition; it aimed at bol- sterine up home (industries by raising home prices; it taxed all imports heavily aaid indis- cmncna-tely whether food, raw material, or fully manufactured goods; whereas Tariff He- form is a policy of small duties, for revenue purposes on competitive imports only, that is, on foreign goods which displace British labour and so create or aggravate unemployment. It is absurd, therefore, to represent Tariff Reform as a return to the policy of "high" Protection. The Free Trader may agree, but he fights shy of our proposals because, as he says, they mean "the thin end of the wedge," and he points out that all tariffs begin low but invariably be- come high. This is not true. Nations do pa-ett mueb what they p"ze in regard to tain7a In 1882, for exaanpie, Au tri. _Hun ary 8 a 'Ell?rs. inerea-?ed hex dut?es, and Portugal reduced France, in the same year, at one and the same time increased some of heir duties and lowered others,—such as thooo on iron and machinery. Germany, in 1879, increased her duties to "hcigfh" Protection, and still further increased them in 1885 and then in 1891 considerably reduced them. In 1895, again, Belgium choce to reduce her duties on manufactures, and actually succeeded in doing- it. Even in the Trust-rvdden States of America, the "high" MoKinley tariff of 1890 can be watered down, into a "low" Wilson tariff four years later. The fact is, countries adjust their taniffs to suit their convenience. You don't condemn, a doe- tor because he sometimes increases the dose of physio to a patient. He does so for the t' nta ultimate good. So the Tariff in a i'?r f fia ph3,? wE-.h is i.?,d ?- ??- t duced according to a nation's, industrial oon- dfetion. Of course, a tariff can be aibuEed and made oppreesiye I'jke everything c3se»_ but there fa little fear of that in a democratic country such as ours, where the working clanses have votes which they can use to prevent, any in- crease in the duties necessary for Tariff Re- form. Besides, a high tariff is not required or demanded in this country. An averaige duty of 10 per cent. on fometgn manu- factured goods and a 29 duty on foreign wheat would be quite sufficient to plaoe British industries on conditions of fair competition with our rivals abroad, and at the saurrxe time vastly increase our trade in the great a? Of our ool<)ni?e& In that way =,,g markets ,ul,d. protect bcm3?e imxluGtrEes and provide more employment for our working men.

He will sail on April 30th horn Southampton in the Walaner Castle, ac- companied by Lady Gladstone and Miss Dorothy Drew, and Miss rt Tenmmt. daughter of Mr Fi-awis Tennant, and niece of Mr Asquith, will also be of the party. Frou"1 Oapetowii Lord Gladstone will proceed to PWAiria, and later to Johannesburg. It is stated that he may acquire Sunnyside, in the suburbs of Johannesburg, where Lord Selborae resided. Loffdi Glad- stone has recently made good progress in learn- ing the Dutch language.

THE NEW BUDGET. STATEMENT BY THE CHANCELLOR. REALISED DEFICIT OF £ 26,000,000. Following upon the issue of the revival and revised Finance Bill. Mr IAloyd George made a statement in the House otf Commons on the financial position. He declared that, with the exception of Customs and Excise, all the taxes imposed had com-a up to expectations, and in some cases had exceeded them. Making aJlow- ance for taxes which have still to be collected, ho said there would actually be a surplus of B2,982,000, which, he added, would have been increased to £4,200,000 if the original Budget had been passed. The following are the most striking variations between estimates and re- ceipts Deficit Surplus. Customs and Excise £ 6,500,000 Licences Nothing collected. Spirit duties £ 2,800,000 Death duties ••• £ 316,000 Stamps ••• £ 450,000 Income-tax £ 350.000 — Post Office £600,000 Tobacco £ 53,000 — In the care of the death duties there was also the sum of £ 1,380,000 unpaid arrears which was being held back until the Budget passed. The increase in stamp duties is the amount by Which the Estimates would have been increased if the Budget had passed. The Income-tax deficit, too, is contingent on the amount of arrears col- lected baing, in accordance with the new esti- mate. Dealing with the unoollootoo taxes, Mr Lloyd George gave the JollcAving estimate of the prin- cipal amounts stfl unpaid:— Income-tax (including super-tax). £ 23,455,000 Land tax and inhabited house duty 1.940,000 Land value duties 490,000 Licences 2,100,000 Death duties 1,380,000 Increased spirit duty 304,000 Tobacco duty 106,000 Motor oar licences 260,000 The total amount of uncollected taxation was £ 30,036,000. which, allowing for deductions, would be £ 29,230,000 net. Finally, Mr Lloyd George stated that the Total expenditure for the yean- was £ 157,945,000 And the total amount act ally received £ 131,697,000 Realised deficit £ 26,248,000 Arrears to collect £ 29,230-000 Estimated surplus £ 2,982,000

ST. ASAPH CATHEDRAL. STRUCTURAL DANGERS. APPEAL FOR FUNDS BY THE DEAN AND CHAPTER. Some surprise will be occasioned by the an- nouncement that some slight cracks of long standing -in the walls of the south transept of the St. Asaph Cathedral have been discovered, and that their recent expansion and appearance of a fresh one have imposod- on the Dean and Chapter the necessity of taking immediate steps to prevent further mischief. It tramspiros that the Chapter have discovered that there is a structural danger, aoo they have secured the services of Mr Stuart Thompson, of Peterborough, one of the best known experts in such matters, who has advised that eome- thing like JETOO to E800 will be required to put matters right. The Dean and Chapter are issuing an appeal for funds. Mr Thompson, in his report, states that cranky have appeared in the eastern wall of the transept, the stone work being torn above and below the two windows, and that one of the windows is still movimg. He asoribes the primary cause of the trouble as being due to defective foundations, the actual footings ot the walls being nothing more than rough stones laid in mud and with no projection. He opines that the defective footings of the whole of the transept will have to be carefully removed and new solid cement oonorete inserted upder the welle, witha good spread outwards to dis- tribute the weight of the super-struobure over as Jaa-ge an area as possible, the masonry being pmned up wibh hard brickwork in cement. Mr Thompson further states that recent investiga- tions show that the whole of the land between idle two rivers is gradually sinking, and there- fore it is essential that the foundations when completed should be continuous throughout, and not likely to be broketn through by any unequal subsidence of the clay or shrinkage of the sub- set! To guard aigainst this he proposes the use of armoured concrete and talcing it below the range of atmospheric influence.

WOMEN UNIONISTS. NEW BRANCH OF THE ASSOCIATION I FORMED AT HOLT. I HON. ORMiSBY-GOAE ON LIBERAL POLICY. (By Our Own Reporter.) The Hon. Ormsby-Gore, M.P. for Denbigh Boroughs, attributes hia success at the recent election in a very large measure to the activity and sound bu^noss abilities of the meanhere of the Wrexham branch of the Women's Unionist Association..Another branch of the Associa- I tion has just been formed at Holt, no fewer I than 153 members being already enrolled, and < on Friday afternoon the membera and a few j friends, making a party of about 20Q strong, j were entertained by tbacr newly-ejected pwd. I dent, Mre Holdsworth. of Garden Park, where, in addition to receiving an encouraging mav I sa,ge from the President, they were able to re- new their accjuainta-noeshcp with Mr Ormeby- Gore under exceptionally happy oonditiona, and to hear from him and Miss Graham. Hope 'I speeches of more than ordinary merit. Cardell Park is one of the oddest as it is cer- tainly one of the most charming- country seats in Cheshire. Delightfully situated in one of the finest rural areas in the border country, it is surrounded by extensive park land, dn whidh ream at lairge a splendid herd of deer whose sportiveness and graceful movements inten-osted the guesta on Friday. Friday. The party assembled in the hall, whose beau- tifully carved wooden ceiling is always the ad- miration of visitors. Mre Hoidsworth presided, and i £ i/e was sup- ported by the Hon, Ormsby-Gore (whose advent was cheered to the echo), and Graham Hope, who is acting as organising secretary at the Head Office of the Women's Unionist! Association during the absenoe through illness of Miss Brooke Hunt. Among others present were Lady Mostyn and the Hon- Edward LL Mostyn, Mr Park Yates, Lady Grey Egerton, Mrs and Miss Leohe, M'r3.

Mrs Hoidsworth, who was oor&aoy wet- oomed, said: It is a great pleasure to me to wei- you ail here this afternoon. We are anxious to hear Miss Graham Hope and Mr Ormsby-Gore address this meeting, and I will, therefore, detain you only a very few moments; in fact, there is a great danger that Mr Gore may fall asleep if I keep him waiting long, as he was sittiDg up jn the House of Commons most of last night, and traveled down here by an early train thw morning in order to be able to speak here this afternoon (laughter, and hear, hear). My father was Welsh, and having spent most of my go in the Prindpaay- (bear, hear)—I naturally take a great interest in the Welsh people—(appSaupe)—and felt much I honoured when Lady Harlech wrote to tell me that the committee of the Holt branch of the Women's Unionist Association had expressed a wish that I should beoozne their president (applause). For the present I have accepted their kind invitation to do so, but I cuinot help feeling that eventually they wiji find it more saliiffactory to have as president sonieone living near Holt who is able to be more often an'c2 them The oomwnitt?ce of the EdisbuTy Di,, on b.),Ving written to express the hope tb& t Iam not gorng to de.mt theom; I wish to say that I never had the slightest intention of doing eo (applause). I take a great interest in the Edisbury Division stnoe I have come to liTe among them—{hear, heary--and still remain a tnembar of the TMston Committee, of wbich Mrs Leohe, who is go well-known to you, as the popular president (hear, hear). I tfiould like to tihank all thoae who by their piesanoe here to-clu.y are g*wlnl us Much encoutagament- WL isso be- Lady Mostyn, takin em in reet in the Fat Mvi,?i?; V. pvall Yabes, a strong supporter of the cause in the Edisbury Division, and Lady Grey Egerton, and others. Lady Gholmoudeiev is unfortunately prevented from being heme mis afternoon, and though Mrs Kenyon has not yet arrived I know she fully intended being here. Coionel Holds- worth wished ine to say that he was extreme- ly sorry not to be able to be present, but his military duties keep him very busily engaged at Aldershot at the present time, and he found it quite impossible to get away. Lord Kenyon wished ail success to the meeting, but was unfortunately away from home and unable to attend. I now have imtdh pleasure in infepoducirug to you Miss Graham Hope, who is acting as organising secretary at the head office of the Women s Unionist Association during the absence of Miss Brooke II unt, who, I am sorry to say, » away on account of ill-health. Miss Graham Hope oame down from town last night, arriving at a late hour after having attended a big meeting in London yesterday afternoon, and we are afi looking forward to hear what she has to say to us (applause). THE jOBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION. At the outset Mess Graham Hope congratu- lated the ibranch upon its successful etaibt; to have a mmbership of 153 almeady augured well 'for thje future. Though they had secured the success of their own cam di- date, howeveir, they must push forward the work, for they must always bear in mind that every constituency was not im that happy position. She commended to them the action of their president (Mire Hoidsworth), who was doing all she oould for the oaaise in two ocmi- abituemciafi. The Union had four objects 100 aim at-(I) Union.; (2) (Taoriff Reform, which was to lieilp the industrial classes and bind the Empire together; (3) socrail reform, in whicfh Mr Goine was particularly interested; and (4.) political education, because tiheme was po dorabt that most of them needed th-at; what she had learned during the past four ye'ars since joining the Association had been of tremendous help to her. Tihey oould work for the advancement of the cause merely by joining the Association; the very fact that they ooaild get 153 members an Holt was in "ttself a power for good. By supporting the committee they inspired thejn to do more, and accoanpJish beittar .work, and they could help personally in a very useful and practical way by district visiting. She believed political district visiting and political cottage meetings were very fruitful methods of work. Another highly importamt object of the Assoc; at ion was to hellp th candidate, for 'a tremendous amount of most helpful material oould be obtained by the members who could plaoe before him local grievances which caEed for redressing, till us bring.ing the candidate into (ploaer touch with oonstdtwents, and making him generalily more popular amd use- ful (hear, hear). There were macuv questions on which .they oould educate each other, such as the House tof Lards, amd Socialism. Had they ever considered the effect of Socialism xf carried out on a large scaSe Arough<)qLt the country P Universal equality would never do for ladies in the first place, hecause it would lead them to a system of all w coring1 the sarnie kind of dresses and hats?(Iaughter) —otherwise there would be fearful jealousy. But, seriously, what with free education, free food, and free clothes for children the Socialistic tendency of modern times tended to deprive the parents of all responsibility -(hea,T, hmLiax),-atnd when the parent llOOt hie sense off responsibility towards his child it naturally led to a lossof parental reg,aro and respect on tlie part df the child (hear, hear). AMERICA WOULD WANT TO JOIN. Proceeding to d'(\'aJ. with Tariff Reform, Miss Graham Hope asked wtha-t -wais the u^e of suibjnittmg yards of statistics to average people. Everybody could invent staiti-jsti.es •to suit their own .point of view, and people dad not as a, rule care to ponder over such things. What they cared more for were the simple facts of life which told their dh1 story with regard to practical (questions. While foreign doccs, window frames—every- thing in fact from a cradle to a ooffin—came into this country to the detriment of the British carpenter tirade what was the U £ ie of talking statistics? Let thorn tell the village blacksmiith how ihorae shoes camle from America for the British Army horses, and the country dressmaker how practically everything needile-vmade soid in (the 6thops came from abroad, and thus kept out of the British market home-made produce (hear, hear). Those were the facte that would im- press the people im their own simple language. People tsiked about the low wages paSd the workers on the Continent. Yet there were women workers in Ireland earning id and jiot hour under so-called Free Trade, whilst in New York women bad just been out an strike complaining that 338 per week was an izsnfficient sul,ary foT them OWW, Let th- tdl th, R.,d.?,,W ighl)ouxs T-ff R,-f -id blmg &ff"i-nt state of tlmg-s, wh proved by tjle expozbenm of iw III a few poin--M 9,ntemces tbe upo,n the effcct wh?.ch wouW[7c P nnd,?ir fi?-md rc-do--m 'in the doma4l? the peoyxlc, end ediallcmgie the 6 t"x of 2,s pew q-uaj4" an wheat WO pnee on tkbe quaxtx, it, ,thaa the tax would be paid by ew, -rather th an the h-onie buylff clu-i- she pointed out the val-m at PEr,eS?e,tial ta?.mnt to tbe n-xkcd t&a anc, Q=t 2??jlp_ A w<).uid w-an t W yoin tb ?Titi; o Rr merc?ai cambinafdon, =d that wmld WOOK heh at omjw a fed,?!?? so &t.Omg as t, bi oj3le 'to d--fy Um VARZO wwld Gold Z;.Ol univelis?aj peam (aow apphmm).
