LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS. Rev, Penar Griffiths and Responsi- bilities of the Church. Speaking on the subiec-t of the League of Nations, the Rev. G. Penar Griffiths 6aid the principle was not a new one, for it was recognised already in organisa- tions of -njorking men, in the franchise, and in the mutual agreements of nations in their international trading. The principal difficulty that there was a radical difference between the civilisation of Germany and that of the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic peoples. Ger- many had always aimed at establishing not merely world power, but a world re- ligion, and that religion entirely different from our own, having a different basis. Germany had striven for forty years to live a religion that wasNnot akin to the German people. Eiatthe-diiffelittitts could and must be overcome. If the church were to fail us in this, let tho church goi for it stood for nothing. There were seven-eighths of the people of the world on our side to-day, and if in future the other one-eighth misbehaved, then it would be the duty of the seven-eighths to make the bully sit down. The world had been brought into close material touch by the progress of science in wireless telegraphy, aviation, and so forth. It was the task now before us to bring it into equally close touch spiritu- ally. We were to-day re-thinking God and re-thinking man.

! CERTIFIED TRADES. -
CERTIFIED TRADES. NEW LIST COMING INTO FORCE ON SEPT. 20 A revised list of certified occupations was issued on Tuesday, aDd will come: into force on Thursday, September 26. One of the changes is tliat a man must show that he has been in the same occupation since January 1st loat. in- stead of August 15, 1915. The distinction between single and married has been abolished. Instead the list concerns it- self solely with men in Grades I. and II. It is obvious therefore that to benefit by it men must be graded. Those still ungraded should be examined at once, otherwise they will be regarded as in Grade I. Men of the new military age who come within the new list are not at present to be summoned for medical examination and need not apply to a tribunal. Any such man who receives a summons should return it with particulars of his claim to be in a certified occupation. The following are typical examples of those protected if born in or before the year stated opposite their occupations: I ENGINEERING: Grade 1 Grade Sj Foremen, fitters, turners, moulders, etc 1882 1885 BuOT REPAIRING: Men employed on repair- ing boots or shoes 1882 1885 BUILDING TRADE: Plumber, 6caffolder. crane driver 1881 1885 .Mason, concrete block maker. bricklayer, joiner, carpenter, plasterer 1879 1885 Painter. 1874 1880 FOOD AND DRINK.

THE NEW WARDS. !
THE NEW WARDS. Novel Suggestion for the j Added Area. A novel suggestion has been made by j a correspondent with regard to the elec- tion of member6 for the new wards of tho Borough Council. It is that all the prospective ."andidak, in each of the added areas shall agree to accept the result of an unofficial plebiscite. Our correspondent points out that this course was taken to ascertain the opinion of the Mumbles on the ques- tion of the incorporation of the urban area in Greater Swansea. Our correspondent goes into detail. Let all the aspirants for municipal honours turn up at a ward meeting, address thlp assembly in turn—say ten minutes for each speaker—and be allowed to take a certain limited space in some newspaper I (at his own expense, of course), to set forth his views. Then let each elector on the register record his rote on a specially printed card, and send it in to a chosen person, preferably the clerk of the exist- ing council, in a specially printed envelope. The cost of tho printing, paper, etc., should be paid by the candi- dates jointly. Our correspondent argues that all per tonalities and acrimonious dis- putes would be obviated by such a course, and that the expense of an election would ji be cut down to the minimum, as well as j the waste of paper, labour, etc. The whole success of such a scheme would, of course, depend on the loyal I acceptancJ by the candidates of the un. official voice of the people, and our cor- respondent adds that canvassing, on the score of expense, should be barred.

,"BIT BADGE" MEN ! ,.I
"BIT BADGE" MEN I AT SWANSEA I There wtie good attendances at the Central llu.il, Swansea, on Tuesday, wketi a conference was held under the auspices of the Swansea Branch of the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Soldiers and Sailors. The object 01 the meeting was to demand a Ttiaiier and more adequate scale of pen- sions and allowances. Lady Lyons, wiio presided, strongly urged the necessity of their organising; themselves in order to stand up lor their nguts. | INADEQUATE PENSIONS, Å very able speech was delivered by, Mr. P. J. Williams, secretary of. the Carmarthen Branch. In pungent phrases j he emphasised—and no one hearing the case he put forward would have failed to ugrk-tiiat pensions were totally inade- quate to provide the barest necessities of life. When he went on t.j describe the absurd nature of some of the public appointments that were made, the sympathy of the audience was mani- festly with hUll. in his own district two lawyers were appointed to pust-s- one of read transport controller and the other in connection with food etulfs. It was pertinent to ask, went on the speaker, what either of these gentlemen knew abuut the work. You cannot value a man, or a husband, at 12s. Gd. a week," ho remarked, amid applause. These things had to be adjusted, and adjusted now. he concluded by appealing to his hearers to organise and co-ordinate. THE MEN'S BIGHTS. I Hon. Capt. Wateyn Williams, M.C., I moved a resolution calling upon the Gov- ernment to increase the pensions and al- lowances, as they were totully inadequate. He drove home the points of the resolu- tion in a few stirring words, culling upon the audience to see to it that the rights they were promised in the early stages of the war should be definitely given to them. The re-solution was unanimously carried. ¡ The ivev. Watkin Williams attacked with vehemence the regulations with re- gard to venereal disease. A resolution on the matter was carried. Ex-Sergeant W. J. Stephens gave an- »nte resting account of the w?rk of the Federation, and the secretary (Mr. W. F'! Francis) spoke enthusiastically of the relief work-it can be called no other name—which, in cases, it had become ueeeosary to carry out. THE WOMEN. In the eyenillg session, apart uaose who spoke in tiie afternoon, the Rev. 11. C. Munder delivered a powerful address on the necessity for a women's organisation in the general interests of the nation, and Dr. Frank Clifford spoke Oil the need for the education of the children of the de- pendents and discharged men. He said that as the dcceascJfathers of these chil. dren had done so much—had given their all—it was the duty of those at home to i tee that the education of the children was not neglected. Their welfare, mental as well as physical, was pointed out to be a highly important matter, which needed emphasis and courage in its treatment. Mr. Francis, the secretary, fvas in- structed to proceed with the preparation i of a 6cheme for the women's organisation. "NO CHARITY." He (Mr. Francis), in the course of a speech, protested against chanty and the fSict that the Minister of Pensions had to go round the country hut in hand appeal- in? for iund?. They did not want charity. They loathed chariLy, but. in case?, they had becu forced to accept it. Funds for the mcu who ijad duM thfir bit towa?Js i the salvation ox the Empire should be a matter for the. State—a care of the State, and certainly should not be at the mercy ot the whim of charity. It was up to them to put the matter strongly before the I Pensins Minister (Mr. John Hodge, M.P.) I and to sec to it that their just demands I D.i e, not in the spirit of benevolent charity, but in the spirit of deserved justice. Mr. Palmer, of 100, Eaton-crescent, Swansea, has sent £1 for the -women's organisation fund.
