THE DRAMA WEEK. Misconceptions About the Contests. To the Editor. Sir,—May 1 be allowed a small space in your columns to clear up some little matters in connection with the Welsh di-ttiiia wKk.- What has prompted the movement? How are the profits to be disposed of? These are the two main questions of a number, and I am glad to note that the second of these evidences the fact that there are optimists in Swansea. When tl)ere, 4c)l)t i tii i sis A, one embarks upon a venture of this kind it entails heavy expenses, and there is al- ways a debit as well as a credi t side to be considered. But that fact for tho present does not. appear to trouble the critic; he can only see a possible profit. Certainly, if the movement gets the support it de- serves, there will be a profit. BIRTH OF THE MOVEMENT. I To deal with the birtli,f the move- ment, I must go back a little. From time to time a number of us met together to consider how, in Swansea, a movement I which has exacted interest and so much enthusiasm in the surrounding towns and Tillages, might be encouraged. This re- sulted in the invitation of a contest, limited to a radius of fifty miles from Swansea. We were surprised at the num- ber of companies who expressed their readiness to take part in the competition, and fre believe that the best seven, out of the sixteen dramatic societies who applied are to appear at the Albert Hall from 'H/tober 20th to the 25th ne4t. A NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD. I ft purtakeu exactly of the character of I the National Eisteddfod, and the object aimed at is the revival in Wales of the cahvo Wei ah drama, to V)I, conducted purely in the Welsh language, as well as to foster and improve the mother tongue amongst the nations. THE INTERESTS OF WALES. i The promoters did not venture upon Uns great undertaking with a view to yecu/iiary gain, but solely to serve the best interests of the Welsh nation. Xid er mwyn civ. arianol yr aetliom i'i.- auturiaeth fawr hon pithr er mwyn gyrrn'r Hen Glad yn ei blaen," and if there is a profit at the ciose of he week this money will be devoted to the purpose of extending the interest of the Drama in 'I Wales. A jemark that 1 have heard passed is that it is the iAtentton of fhe promoters when forpiing a new ?va?sea Societv, to draw fr&m the members of the exis?tiii,, "ft-idiM. I don't know that this ÜINt h:1" I been mooted hy any individual member of the committee, because, as stated above, the chief object i* to foster the movement and not weaken it. Judging from the applicants that have already signified their intention of joining the new Swan- sea Society, it goes to ffhow at once that there are sufficient dramatic amateurs in Swansea and district to form another two < liree, or even ha lf-a-dozen, other com- panies without falling back upon the existing ones. But when the occasion arises the Committee as a business concern will undoubtedly invite and select, the Most suitable iippll(-ants.-I am, yours, truly, W. Clement, Secretary. Rock House, Landore.

TIRPITZ'S EXCUSE. I Why War Was Lost. I Admiral von Tirpitz sticks to his guns. He is unconverted and unconvertible. He maintains in his book on the U-boats, quoted by the Sunday Times/' that had an unrestricted U-hoat campaign been started in 1936 and maintained as lie ad- and not as prc?uturety arPed to hy the vised l v agrpe d to ))r the Kaiser in 1915, English resistance would have been broken in at most six months, and if we defeat England we break the backbone of the enemy coalition." THEY WILL ALL DO IT. I In justification of his policy, he argues: I Does seriously believe that in any future 'war'&peopie ?i?hting for its life will not use the submarine as we har used it in this war, even if nw rul es ot international law forbid them so to do?" The idea at the outset was a blockade ot the Thames, as he was of opinion that a complete blockade of the British- Isles, when decided on 111 1915, was not only inv ^practicable but bad tactics, as it had n appearance of bluff, because Germany's submarine power at the time was incap- able of maintaining it. In 1916 (by which time had his policy of a partial blockade been followed the world would have become accustomed to the idea of unrestricted submarine war- fare) he. however asserts German under- w4; er To-a rfarecould have accomplished its purpose—won the wa-hut. this period was wasted between our fears and hopes of Wilson." AFRAID OF U.S. I In effect, Tirpitz holds that he could have won the war by the proper handling of submarines, had it not been for the vacillating policy of the Kaiser and his poijtiofrl advisers. So sick was lie over the whole trend of things that on August 27th, 1915, he ten- dered his resignation, but on September 19th, I received the Imperial assurance that it was His Majesty's full intention to take my opinion on all important ques- tions of naval policy and I thereupon resolved not to insist on my release. In February, 1916, he submitted a memorandum, declaring that WHY HE RESIGNED. I I Immediate and relentless recourse to the submarine weapon is absolutely neces- sary. Any further delay in the introduc- tion of unrestricted warfare will give England time for further naval and economic defensive measures, cause us ?rpatcr losses in th? end, and endanger quick success. Th? sooner the campaign is Opi'MO. the sooner ?iU sufcr?s be rea 1i 8pd, and the more rapidly and energetically will England's hope of defeating us by a war of oxhau< £ e»: b#tics t roved." But the Kaiser and his advisers again funked, and Tirpitz was asked to resign. He did

Aberayon played their second, trial match tin's afternoon, when i-liev were op- posed by a strong side selected from the Junior League players A few changes ITer" made in the Town ranks from the team that did duty last Saturday. Joslin, who i)as been selected baf-k for the T,ovrn ik-lio, 'a!s46 been splfct?d for the ame posi- tion by the League. The Town are try- ing Mathews, a Steelworks player, who showed promise last Saturday, at three- quarters. Willie Jones will take up his old, position at half with Con Evans, and Fonford reverts to the pack. In the main ir. is the old firm." The Aberavon match with the District League on Saturday afternoon was not favoured tine weather. Heavy showers and counter-attractions in town were responsible for the poor attendance. It was f.:i0 before the game began, waiting for three players who were en- gaged in another match. The teams were: ABDRA VOX.-B. Goslin; T. M. Mnt. thews, Bob Richards, Ma honey, and B.

SWANSEA SECONDS GORSEINON. Swansea's second string lost to' ?t'n- clawdd last week by a solitary point. On the run of the play they should have won, but. such are the vagaries of goal-kicking. To-day the Seconds jottrileved to Gor- seinon, and it was confidently anticipated that they would make no mistake alxlUt achieving victory on this occasion. Jim IRapsey led the team, and his presence in ithe side has already proved a valuable adjunct to the development of some of the rawer material. The latest addition is Billy Roberts, the Bayc-liffe half, who surprised the team's supporters last, week at Pontardawe by revealing a useful turn of speed and nippy play. This is the first tune for Gorseinon to meet :he Swansea Seeond. The team;, are as follows:—• GORSEINON.—Eddie Footman; W. J. j Davies, W. John L. Langdon, J. Lewis; T. Davieis (capt.), W. Russell; S. Iloweils, i. Russell, G. Isaac, R. Hughe", Tom Jones*. G. M Joins, C. lioojK>r. SWANSEA SECONDS.—R. E. Rees; T. Williams, W. H. Wagstaff, C. C. Clifford, T. R.

Garseinon kicked off about 3.15 before a good number of spectators. At the out- set the Swansea pack pressed, and Gorse- inon were given a free kick for off-side, which much relieved the pressure. Gough then rushed forward, and Congden was penalised for being off-aide. Rapsey broke away from the scrum, Which nearly re- sulted in a score for Swaniea.

WILL PAY HER DEBTS. Germany Means to Work Hard. i Important Interview. t (From the Press Association's Special Correspondent^. Cologne. Sunday (received to-day). Mr. Charles Knot, president of the British Chamber of Commerce in Ger- many, has had a series of interviews with the Finance Minister ( Herr Erzberger), t and with Herr Schmidt, Minister of Economics and Food Controller, in the presence of other Ministers of the German Government, with the object of proceeding further with the suggestion of he scheme for a Clearing House to be established in Berlin, so that absolute and effective con- trol may be obtained of all exports from Germany to the British Empire, and of the imports from Britain to Germany. I interviewed Mr. Knot this morning on his return, and he states that the German Government have consented, in principle, to the Department of Ministry of Econo- mics and Food to be under a British orial, who will have entire control of the license department. Any goods leaving Germany or coming into Germany from Britain without a license from .this.de- partment will be confiscated. This. he maintained, was a very remarkable conces- sion, and must of necessity dispel any fc-ars as regards the lumping of German goods on the British market. Mr. Knott is laying proposals and de- tails of the scheme before the Board of Trade in London, and he is extremely con- fident that the Board of Trade will take j hf4 scheme up, which would be an effec- tive protection for the British markets. Mr. Knott says Germany is not in a posi- ton at present to dump, even were she oe- iwrous of doing so. There are in point of fact very small stocks at present in Ger- many. The whole of the energies of the country have been concentrated on: war work for five years, and practically 1 nothing of industrial value has been pro- duced. There are small stocks of glassware, lenses, snd optical goods, and certain machinery, and there are also large sup- plies of alkali and other raw materials produced in Germanyi It is to be hoped that by export of raw materials princi- pally. Germany will I-K. able 10 begin sx i ) l p traffic with foreign countries and prevent the further fall of the mark. I asked Mr. Knott l\is opinion on tho recent state of the German money market. KTid he attributed the present position to the fact that the Polish bankers and Government have recently unloaded several millions worth of marks upon fits market in Rotterdam and/other neutral exchanges. The large supplies of napermoney -suddenly thrown upon tboss markets had naturally a disastrous effect uboji the mark. of which the supply greatly exceeded the demand for a tew days. This, however, can only be a momentary lapse. Germany, he said, had made up her mind to work hard and do her best: to pay her debts. Work is the c;ily thing that can sftve Central Europe. This should be an interesting point for 4lie consideration of those British fae- tories which are not working at fnH ,pcNl. and which can produce goods for the German market. It is foolish to main- bin that wo shouid never 8gain trade with Germany. Epgland produces certain poods to perfection Germany ,pr-oduee$ I others which England has-every--advan- tage to take from her in exchange for goods of England's own production. Ger- many has always been England's best customer, and she is bound to become so again, in spite of all that may be urged i to the contrary. The German military spirit. he say,, is completely crushed, and the German people are not in need of war from any point of view. Of that he is con- vinced. The military clique liave not the slightest hope of ever taking up the posi- I tion they formerly held. The German Government is absolutely anti-militarist. Noske is the Minister of War.

I CARMARTHEN 'QUINS I v. BURRYPORT. Considerable interest was evinced locally in the visit of Burrypbrt to Carmarthen to-day to try conclusions with the Car- marthen Harlequins, who for their first match of the season fielded a strong fif- teen. The 'Quins were a formidable side before the war, and local enthusiasts are entertaining high hopes of another suc- cessful season this year, a strong team having been brought together. Burryport also is a proposition to reckon with, and a keen game was expected. The teams were:- Carmarthen harlequins.—Full-back, T. H. Jenkins; three-quarters, Frank Wil- liams, J. J. Lewis, A.
