I PUBLIC NOTICES.
I PUBLIC NOTICES. I Parliamentary Bye-Election, 1919. I TO THE ELECTORS OF SWANSEA EAST DIVISION. Indies ;uul Gentlemen, • ILiving Ufcn unnnimously adopted by the Sy>'i»nsea Ea«t Liberal Association a.s the Coalition Liberal Cctndidatc for the vacancy winch has arisen through the InmenifHl death of the late Mr. T. Jeremiah YVilhams, I hnvc decided to place my wrvice^at the disposal of t]ie Electors of this hjrye and important Can- stitueiicy. I" My candidature hs heartily en- ciorfed by the Swansea "Unionist Associa- 1 tion, and is supported by a large number vl patriotic Trades Unionists, who want to save our country from the chaos and tj is aster into vviiieh tjic extreme section of the Socialist Party would plunge it. The whole of my 2.1 years of pH hUe lif", has been .spent among, and for, the work- classes. Movriston workmen, who have always been my sponsor?, will bear willing testimony to the character and value of my municipal work. It it. there- fore, ,n th pardonable pride and confidence that I now seek to ent^r the lazier field of Parliamentary activity. I promise my whole-hearted ,10,1 loyal support to the Coalition Government, and to accept as my leader .Mr. Lloyd George, who piloted (the nation so successfully through the war; who was so largely re- sponsible for the framing and signing of the Peace Treaty, and who will be called upon to guide the nation in its work of reconstruct ion. The League of ations will Shd in me r an ardent and sincere supporter. This instrument fashioned by the Peace, Con- ference should ba?iish all possibility of wnr anions: the Nations of the World, Germany, having plunged the world into the greatest wa.r of all times, must be kept outride the League until such time .iv"? the contributory Nations are assured that the German people are prepared, honourably, to observe the sanctity of I Treaties, and not to regard them merely as Scraps of Paper." I shall be a I vigorous opponent of any vacillating atti- tude towards Germany. I German treachery hag boon too well manifested quite recently at Sea pa Flow to justify any loose talk about reconcilia- tion. Lntil she H repentant, and shows I a change of heart, she must be rendered impotent for another attack upon the liberties of the World. In the matter of Education, as is well known, I have always been a strong pro- jfrosiiva. The Democratic ideals which I have followed in local administration shall be equally well maintained in legis- lation. The only safe democracy is a well educated democracy, and to realise that object I am m favour of a system of Free Secondary and University Education, so that the best brains of the people Eohalllw utilised in the building of a better and brighter Britain. The determination of the National Labour Party, led by men notorious for their anti-patriotic attitude during the war, to establish direct, action" or Soviet Rule in place of Parliament, has been made manifest in the recent Soutn- port Conference. This decision is a grave menace to our National Prosperity, to o?r Civic I,H:rti.e, and to our Personal oiir (-Ivic ind to oiir rersom.al As a Democrat and a Constitutionalist, Ty shaH oppose any attempt made by a minority of the people to impose its will upon the majority. Thousands of our best and bravest boys have sacrificed their lives to resist the tyranny of the Prussian War Lords, and now w arc threatened by tvranny from within by Sovief Strike- rlml". I strongly believe that the Ballot box is a. more effective method of deter- mining the will of the iieople than revolu- tionary-methods involving bloodshed. T?e Tndn?tria'! Outlook is 'ar from i promi?in?. but I have every confide me '"n the future of our land if only better co- I operdionbehn><>n Capital ,nd La'?our could be established on National lines, en I the bnsis of the Conciliation Board, which has been so successful in maintaining industriii! peace in the keland Tinplate industries of South Wales. The same spirit and determined organisation which enabled us to win the war will help U5 to r??p the fruits of P?ac". 11 am in favour of the most ample and generous treatm?at to the soldiers ?d sailors who ? helped to San our Empire I from des-truction, and I Fitall always be ready to give a sympathetic! far to any 'I ease* of harsh treatment which might want redress. My record during the war I may be taken as an earnest of m, future policy in dealing with our gallant de- fenders and their dependents. The value and sincerity of promises should be judged I in 'lie light of past utterances and I actions T will do everything in my power to speed up the provision of H<xi.:es, to pro- rido Cheaper and Better Transport Facili- ties, and to furnish our Old Age Fu- sioners with an allowance more in accord- ancc with prsnt day needs. During my municipal career I have done my utmost to advance the int?re? of the Port, and the industries of the district, and I can confidently claim to have initiated and helped to carry through successfully several schemes of a construc- tive character which have materially con- tributed to the development of Swansea. There are a. number of other questions of National importance which I phal] have the opportunity of dealing with fully in the course of the campaign. if you honour me with election, I pledge mv&elf to carry out my Parliamen- tary duties with the energy and en- thusiasm a- I hope have marked my munleipnl work. Believe me. 1 Ladies and Gentlemen. Yours Sincerely. DAVID MATTHEWS. I Windsor Mdge. Swansea,

 OUR RAILWAY DIS- I' 0 U R ,"t.}VLI D IS. II ?ERV!C?". ? The Council is going to be repre- sented at a oonierence which- is to talk about our lack of railway facili- ties generally and the evil of high lares. As to the latter, there isi little chance of an ?mpt'ovement. ?e have to ?reconcile ourselves to a? I "rod d in which everything costs mere, and It is not economical'y  possible to except railways from th, scheme of things. As to our rail- way dis-service.s, we wish the Coun- cil had decided to take action itself with regard to our particular griev- ances—the unsatisfactory service from Cardiff to Swansea and the slow service from Mid-Wales to Victoria Station. These are matters of which we have always com- plained, and they are not likely to receive rectification because a national conference discusses the s hortcomings of the railways gener- ally.
t HAIG & THE PENSIONS.
t HAIG & THE PENSIONS. Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig has the nation behind his back. The whole system of War Tensions wants reformation. How well we remember the bra-ve words with which those at home sent. out the soldiers to the war! Their wives and children were never to suffer. The scandals of old days were never to recur. We vowed this solemnly, and sincerely. And yet Sir Douglas, among the special cases he brought before the Select-Committee, was able to quote -this monstrous ex- ample of our modern way with soldiers: A eeotmd-lieufcenant suffering from tuberculosis and in a sanatorium. He had a. pension of £1i5, minus is. 6d. per day. which brought it down to t93. It was impossible on this to provide for ths family. His little hoy had just died, probably from starvation, so this would eave the Government £24 a year. Case after case the Field-Marshal brought to the notice, of the com- mittee, until every member of it must have bowed his head that these things should be. The people of the land must '-have read also, with a great sense of I hame, his account of how we deal with our heroes. Of course there must be redress of the scandals, quick and drastic. The nian who bled for Brit-ain must be treated generously. The families of the fallen must be our first charge. I
.SIR JOHN 8RUNNER.-
SIR JOHN 8RUNNER. It can be said of the late Sir John Brunner that few Britishers did more real service to the land of their birth. His partnership with Dr. Ludwig Mond meant great things to this country. The two men in- stituted within their own works a course of technical instruction which made apprenticeship condi- tional upon the lads attending the el a-s ses and attaining a high degree c efficiency. At length the system' aroused so much interest that Sir John was induced to explain its working in Lancashire, Cheshire, and elsewhere. Throughout his busy and prosperous commercial career he insisted on the connexion be- tween science and commerce. Every penny I have in the world," he once asserted, has come from the application of science to com- merce. What was good for the individual, he argued, was good tor the community. If this country would spend ten millions in putting up. buildings and founding pro- fessorial chairs, U he said on one occasion, "we should get the money back a hundredfold in the course of a generation." If we could get every manufacturer in and around Swansea to realise this, what splen-i did prospects would be before the! University College of Swansea? Sir John shouldered a moral bur- den that is too often overlooked by other large employers of labdur. jn? was not content ? take profEsl without some regard to th? physical welfare of the workers. Thus, for mstance, he a-nnounced on cD? c<casion that the nrm. would offer ?o all beys in their ?mph'y, of th? ?ge? .from fourh'en to seventeen, a dl¡h' dinner. He admitted that j he s made not only Willi a kind heart, but with a, good deal of consideration for the inter- ests of the firm. They expected that they would be better served if the men in their service were strong and healthy. His endea- vour to readjust the relations be- tween capital and labour, and the adoption of an eight hours' day, ac- counted for the immunity he and his firm enjoyed from industrial disputes. The new industrial days are m'aking more remote the personal relations between employer and employed. Wages and conditions are dealt with, not as between the two parties mainly concerned, but in conference-? in which far widrr interests are involved. Something has been ga-ined by the change; but a good deal lost. Yet in countless things it is yet possible for the old bonds of kindliness to be kept strong in our factories and offices; and the example of John Brunner and Ludwig Mond shows the direc- tions in which the workers for, peace -and concord can best p 4.

[All Rights Reserved.] I IF Homes in Gardens. ————————! — BY MAJOR MA ULE, D.S.O. (The Well-Known Authority on Housing). Our England is a garden, and such gar- dens are not made By 8itigitig 6 Oh, how Y,aiTMf-dl! and sit- fir-g ill the While better men than we fPO out and start their working lives At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner knives/' Rudyard Kipling. -Tho writer was once returning from I ranee on l-^we one glorious day in May, 1917, a.nd when passing through Kent, the garden of Fn-glaud, his ccsnyenion, a very gallant airman, looking out of the car- riage window, exclaimed: By God, but if is worth dying for, it?" a senti- ment which he has since sealed with his own life. These very gallant gentlamen who have laid down their lives have indeed pre- served this garden to us. or rather more Strictly to a limited number of UG, and it I now remains for those who are left to see that this England Off mire is utilised to it,s full capacity for the use and enjoy- ment of the many, and not only for the few. In effect, to see that thc-oo who com- mence their working lives by grubbing v,-eeds from gravel paths and other occu- pations, which demand all that a man or ) woman can give in tie shape of ha,rd toil, t whfther of hand or brain, s-'Kall indeed attain to scm« share of the heritage which has been redeemed by all classes and all ranks of the nation. To this great and certain factors are necessary, and, given fheee in operation, it is inccnceivablt that a nation which | has produced what it has during the years of war can. fail in a task which, compared say to the production of munitions, is comparatively simple and relatively in- expensive. The necessary factors are first the wakening of a Public Conscience to the rights and necessities of the great mass of the Population. Secondly, such a measure af Govern- ment support alS will perforce overcome I the selfishness of the few and the pro-vrar preju-diepp of tlioso who have not yet realised that, a Ppw era, of time and thought commenced, and that all must II disabuse their minds of pre-war standards, starting almost as little children, vho. nPY?rthplpss comm?nc?d their sc ooling with intensive training such as t "rld has never seen hefo. Surely these two preini-,Ps aro/ already in being, and* it only requires T;6Tk. time and patience to achieve results"which will I sanctify the sacrifices and justify the faith of thnpe Trho have fallen. I EVERY HOUSEHOLDER A FOOD- I PRODUCER. Jt is already realised that cottage homes mmt hae gafdens, that, in the in- terests.oi National health, happiness and wealth, a greatfr proportion of the popu- lation must be well and comfortably housed on thé land. that the individual must, wherever possible, be a. food pro- ducer as well a, food consumer, and to no finer racrention or in- terest than the care of a garden, given sufficient leisure to attend to it. Thimtlcl1 being griuitad, to fyh,at stage have we now reaeued, and what prwspects arc there of an early realisation of our aspirations? At the undent moment patience is needed, for there is much prelimfnarv work necessary to be done before we shall see any tangible results. That this spade work is being done is certain. Definite standards have been already laid down for Urba? and Rural Housing. GovMnm?ut ci<partmnts are hrd at ?ork devising schemes fcr housing, sp" ?d- ?i?q up th" production of m??ria.ls and worM?c toward th? standardisation of I details and fittiD?s A very d<?ini'te at- tempt is being made by the &or4?Tili?ht- ened manufacturer? und otbeM t" produce good stand?rdi-?d ?rticl<=? ?hich will in- evitably cheapen t?e cost of production and gi-ro better value for money at the pa me time. Individual efforts are being made to find new and improved methods of building construction, whereby sound, pleasant and healthy homes can be erected, not indeed at pre-war Cost, but in spite of the shortage of building at the present time. Mistake* and delay* are ineviWbla. but this shortage of materials is in reilil-r not a.n unmixed evil. It will stimulate inven- tio-n in ma,ny directions and quicken, the pulses G! tticse who already realise that new ideas and new standards demand new methoas and scientific application. In effect:, all that is needed is concen- trated effort, hoth public aud individual, to throw off pre-Avar trammels, to grasp Hfw principles And ideals, and to pee to it that the mass of the nation in not ex- ploited for the benefit of the few. Manufacturers are experimenting, and dare not produce, in bulk. New men for the land hy", to be trained, and pri- vate enterprise in housebuilding ig ham- pered by the priM and shortage of the necessary materials, but, as the summer comes on, our difficulties will decrease, and by the end ct the year results'should begin to appear. A WORD OF WARNfNG. I It is above all imperative that whatever is done In housing should hs wpjl dono. Temporary expedk-ntfe may in saiae cases bridge over tWe present difficulty of mater- ials shortage, but what is needed is good building with good design and sound materials, both on the sears of economics and the material well-being of the occu- pants. There is already the inevitable cry that nothing is being done, and the inevitable attempt, to db something to make a show, will follow ia order to ap- pease popular clamour. T;:<\ real essential at tJhe moment is the re-esfca>blishment of those industries which supply the building trade with materials, and quality is actually More important than speed. There are, however, other things to consider. Garidane. lilm houses, are not made without toil And knowledge, and such knowledge is y the result of painful experience. Much can be done by energetic County and Parish Councils, and a watchful Press must see to it that the public conscience does not again rink into a selfish and apathetic sleep. A%ar higher standard of public service is red from many of those who pos- sess this world's goods in plenty. After the comradeship of the war and the real undeistaadting between all ranks which- the war eagepdorecl surtfly it is not too much to expect that cooperation and comradeship will be eemtmued under Peaoo oonditione, for again to qncvte Kipling: There's not a poir of legs 80 thin, there's not a head eo thick, There's not a hand so weak and white, nor yet a. heart so sick, But it can find some useful job thae crying to be done, J For the Glory off tjhti Garden elorifieth every one,*
