He •iairl lie could hardly express the jov it gave him ti» .presidoat such an historic Katheruig as tliat reception to the heroes of the Ihiffryn Tin plate Workp. Tliey met that night almost under the shade of the old Norman Castle ot Swan- ;>E'ü, where many a gallant knight un- sheathed tlie sword on behalf of a cuu.sf; which he held to i;e for the go>id of kiny and country. Never was a baron or kiiighi faced with such a tremendous eon- flict as that wluch faced us in August. Hill, and never in the lollg course of our I glorious histoiy did msn more readily and I willingly fling themselves whole heartedly into the battle -Jiae. Swansea was tor many years all enthusiastic, centre oi the. old Volunteer movement. At a later date its Territorial Force was something more than a glittering army of toy soldiers. Early in the v, ar, said the Chairman, our territorials became Britain's Second Ex- peditionary Force, and it achieved lasting fame on the fields of Flanders, tlie plains I of Mesopotamia, the rocky shores of the Dardanelles, and the smiling valleys of Canaan. Swansea would long h. rewein- hered its (.he ln>me of the gallant 13th Welsh, which covered itself with glory in France. Its brave colonel, the Late Lord X'inian Criohton Stuart, would go down ill history at; a zreat "soldisr and a man."

Amongst GHOSTS wore Messrs. l>. Milford (President, nf the Dockers' Union), Ernest Beyjn (national organiser), Robert William* iTranspoi-t Workers), J. Bevin (Executive member), D. Bonham, and IT. S. Batcx. (local organisers of the Dockers' Union ) and J. Tw^nicy (gono-ral secretary of the Labourers* Union). Replying to the toast of tie guests, Mr. Ernest Bevin spoke oI t,M grea t strides made by the dockers through organisation. By the amalgama- tion of gangs the dockers liad proved that thtt average working man could, if he wished, do liis business better than the captains of industry. Mr. Robert Williams delighted the audience Vitli reminiscences of his earlier days as a working coal trimmer. An excellent: musical programme fol- lowed

At Horeb. Morriston, on Saturday, a programme was provided by the Pentrc- ehwyth Nigger Minstrel Troupe, in aid of the Soldiers and Sailorjr* Fund. The Ber. W. Salmon presided.

MR. SPENDER & THE! MOND CASE. 1 (Continued from Page One). I legal proceedings than the vindica- tion of Sir Alfred Mond or of our- selves. Democracy has to ask u-1 self whether it can survive and ob- J tain the service of its i,ble,-t i-tien the v are to be made the victims of theproceedings of which this trial is the culmination. Sir Alfred Mond's sole offence is that he has given talents of no ordinary order to pub- lic work. He is, all the world Ijnovvs, a wealthy man who has been the organiser and director flome of the most valuable manu- facturing industries in this country. might have re- mained within his mvn business circle and become immensely more wealthy. He preferred to give hims>!f to public life, to relinquish I a large part of his business inter- ests, and to devote bis brain and no inconsiderable oorfion of his wealth I to the service of the State. record and that of his family during the war is one of which any man might be proud. It has been one or single-minded devotion to the in- terests of the country in which lis was born, and a complete vindica- tion of the claim of i the race to which b8 belongs to be loyal citi- zen?. owing allegiance to the nation which has ?'iv?n them be oppor- tunity of p!aym? a fuU paM in pub- lic life. That he should have done thpe things is Sir Alfred MomF"? offence. He has made himself a conspicuous public man, and for no j oth?r reason he has been persecuted j and pursued wi?h an ingenuity and ] cruelty.Hun knows no limits. ¡ A PROBLEM TO SOLVE. To make such proceedings as these impossible is, as we have said, a pvcblt.ni that democracy must solve. Unless men of high talent and upright- character can enter public life without. being subject to baseless attatk and repeated slan- der. the service of the State will ueeome a penance from which ry g and government-will be left to these who have neither characters to lose nor wealth to sacrifice. The libel action brought by Sir Alfred Mond will have domy good service if it brings home to the public mind the neces- sity of finding s"K)n better means I than at present available of de- fending from wanton and un- founded attacks the Y)rii-atfl- <, har- acters of devoted servants of the public (»oo(!. THE Ii PALL MALL." I The Pall Mall Gazette." ob- *F, r v must congratulate Sir 1 Alfred Mond on the result of bis action agaipst the reckless libels of which he has been tlin victim during the war. The verdict of the ■jury should put a for all. to these mischievous asper- sions on his patriotism.
