The Cambria Daily Leader

 | The Day's (jcssip. I Leader Office, Thursday. The debate on the Peace Treaty is to take place to-day, as the Prime Minister: announced. The Treaty will be ratified in one sitting, and, according to prac- tice, it cannot be amended. Mr. Lloyd Geurge looked rather tired in the Com- mons on Monday, but his voice hardly suggested a cold. He seems to have ,O-evelop(-d-no one could have called him the little Welsh Wizard "-a greater sense of dignity and responsi- bility. His thick, almost white, hair, more carefully brushed and trimmed than formerly, gave his head a leonine appearance. He maintained a very grave face; he appeared actually to have been through a great deal, and to have learnt something from it. He was hardly the man whom the Hosue knows so well, but far smoother in his utter- ance, much more master of himself, ap- parently more confident of his fate. The Prime Minister bore evidence of strain. A London diarist says that he has never seen him more carefully dressed—a touch which h often lacked, and which seemed on Monday to mark I his sense of the beginning of a new era. j The Church and the Cinema. II have a great deal of sympathy with tie attitude sometimes taken up towards the cinema, especially m relation to chil- dren; but may I suggest as gently tLs I can that the antagonism displayed by some speakers at the West Wales Federa- tion of Free Churches' meeting at Swan- sea this week is. simply senseless ? The cinema is not an evil thing. Generally speaking, I think we may claim that it has added to the joy of life. Personally, my only complaint against it is that some j of the long drama pictures are boring I beyond words; but, then, I have to admit that what may bore me may be full of in- [ terest to others. A Skewen minister at I the Conference moved a resolution ex- I pressing deep sorrow that so many church members frequent cinemas, and thereby absent themselves from religious services. I A similar resolution could be drawn up and passed in regard to every legitimate entertainment that is offered us to-day. If churches want to hold their members to their services, why don't they make thexa as interesting as the cinemas? for the Gospel, preached in its purity and I strength, is the most fascinating thing upon the face of the earth. I| Dear Old Pwlldu. j Pwlldu, which has come into such j prominence ty week, is one of our local beauty spots. To get to it one can either go along the pretty country Innes. now filled with wild honeysuckle r and hedgerows ablaze with wild flowers;. or along the coast. The latter way affords a bracing and exhilarating t. ramble. Then there is the Bishopston I Valley route, well-wooded and affording $welcome shelter on an oppressive] v sunny day. Along its cool, winding jf aths hundreds of younger Swansea in V Mimmer tiyie, and -many on a fine and I dry winters day,, may be found mak- £ mg their way to the pebble-beach, and S I ??hsequGnUy paH-pking?f the appe?sino- ham a»d egg tea? provided at u moderate I charge by Mie or two of the inhabitants ? ? on the hilVde. Bishopston Va!lW has ? .iut:y bee* compared with th Waters- '?Lect at Lynmouth, a spot where Hugh | I ? Conway, author of Called Back," did ? I much of his writings. Yeb there arp ? thonmnds of SwanL?a foik who do not renHsp there is uh a beautiful spot so ? near their thrcshcMs! I MitfwJves in Conference. j i Dr. Stephens is rather a stormy petrel, ( I ] t inclined to give way to no man t I his convictions have settled on a point. J. (rouer ally hp is in a pai.nority, but the I other day, at the Health Committee, he l the members to asfree to a project by í which all the mid wives*. in the boroujh will b; trailed into conference, to be ad. j dressed' by the chairman of the committee | and others. It is a cap;M M?a, capaMo | of great good. We have to work our hardest to keep the babies of the town. I | ¡ and npoc the mid wives is a tTemendo?s I I responsibility. To call them into con- ference now and again, for the purpose qf securing larger co-operation, and the ex- chnnpe of ideas, must be productive of I infinite good. i v I I The Wsather and Bsthmg. jr The colder weather has sicily depleted the numbs, of bathers from Swansea Sands, and has caused their almost total | | disappearance in the mornings. Wait I until the water and the air feel a little I more kindly," some people say, I want I my swimming: (or hathing) to be a pleasure, not a piece of discipline." The one who merely looks on will sympathise 1 with this view. A friend tells me., how- 1 ever, that although the feel of the e-leroents, especially of a morning, is de- | cidedly different to what it was before the weather broke, there is real pleasure to I be got—to say nothing of the better tonic | for the system. It is understood that I there is, in the Summer Time Act, a I larger cause for the falling off in number of morning bathers. The long evenings 1 which cause so much worry to mothers i anxious to get their children early to bed, | are apparently resulting in sleepier morn- I ing,s for the adults also. And the receipts I from the Corporation's cubicles suffer 1 accordingly. II Chaos, and the Way Out. I Workmen in several trades in South | I Wales are now claiming 2s. per hour,, I which they say would only be equal to 1 8d. pre-war. Tho statement is eTghtly | exaggerated, but not much. What the | men forget," eays -in economist friend of | anine, is that one cause of the rise in I the cost of living is those very increases in wages which they demand and secure. The whee: turns and increases of wages notwithstanding, nobody is a penny the better. It cannot be rubbed in too often that if employers wan I: to keep their works going and operatives to gain and (retain advances in W3g'ZS this can be achieved in one wty, and one way only- by increasd output. In the United States this appears to ba understood. Labour saving appliances and methods are there eagerly welcomed, and the output per man is tremendous. This is a cold fact which makes the pre-?'TK position, with its wrangles and disputes and stoppages, its wage increases synohroni&ing with de- crease in output, an extremely critical one for the trade of GrefJi: Britain. Vast quantities of goods music in the near future be supplied, and they will be eup- » plied. But by whom? It is now said that goods can be manufactured in the States and sent to Europe at 75 per cent, less-woe not say that we can, but than we in fact do produce them. To eat your, cake and have it is simply not Doesible." I

1- ALL QUIET. ( Calm After Storm at Pem- broke Dock. I I Further details are now to hand re- spe.cting the disturbance that took place I at Pembroke Dock on Monday night be- tween men of the Welsh Regiment and the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. A correspondent learns that four officers and a number of men were badly injured during the fight. There were numerous head wounds. Police-Superintendent W. G. Thomas and his men have received many con- I gratulations upon their tactful and tourageous conduct during the riot. Officers belonging to both units also tried their utmost to disperse the men. The suoerintendent of the police was slightly injured in the right foot. At a later period he had a narrow escape, a missile missing hiz head by inches, and striking Lieutenant Macfarlane, who fell to the ground insensible. The civilian, Mr. Forward, who was injured, is pro- gressing satisfactorily; the officers and men who were wounded in the affray are also progressing. On Wednesday the local police forc" was augmented considerably. All is now* Quiet. ? Printed And published by thk Sweneea froat. Ltd., at Leader BuUdins*/ivanse*
