THE COALITION PROGRAMME. i A Parliamentary election having been deciued on, Mr. Lloyd George and Air. Bonar Law, the chief representa- tives of Coalition parties which formed the late Government, have lost no time in placing a Coalition programme before the electors. The programme will probably secure the approbation of a large majority in .the country who will see in it an attempt to deal ex- peditiously with some of the most urgent questions, it not defects, which the war and its consequences have re- vealed as requiring immediate, atten- tion. So far there is no other pro- gramme before thQ country. Unfor- tunately, however, that does not mean unanimity. If a modern Socrates formulated a programme for the British nation in its after-war condi- tions there would still be found dis- gruntled parties or individual poli- ticians who would want something different or some other method of arriving at the same result- A Coalition Government has brought the war to a victorious conclusion. Every i elector, man and woman, should now see to it that the reconstituted Coalition Government shall be given the oppor- tunity of raising upon the ruins left by the war an edifice which will make for the welfare of the nation and for the whole world. What the nation wants at the present time is unity of purpose in the achievement of results desired 1 by all a cessation of carping criti- cism of personalities and. mere methods 1 of procedure; a concentration of intel- lect and political experience upon the solving of the great issues before the country a chivalrous attribution of right motives to the Government and a sinking of subsidiary party aims not immediately concerned with vital questions of immediate reconstruction. Men like Lord Robert Cecil may place the material interests of his Church before the interests-of his country; but all true patriots will, support the Coalition Government in an honest attempt at reconstruction. Fault has been found with Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Bonar Law for includ- ing in the programme the reconstruc- tion of the House of Lords, or, rather, the constitution of a second chamber and it has been asked "Is there not already on the Statute Book a Parlia- mentary Act?" We think the pro- posal of the programme a wise and necessary proposal- The attempt to carry out any of the other proposals of the programme will certainly touch vested interests—that relating to the land, for instance, in which the here- ditary landowning peers are personally concerned—and to permit that House to retain its present power to block for three or four years a Land Bill, how- ever reasonable it may be and however necessary for the increase of food pro- duction, would be absurd. What manufacturer in his senses would allow an antiquated or defective piece of machinery to remain in his works which seriously reduced the total out- put, ur stopped out-put aioogeihtr. The signatories of the. programme are tnerefore wise and prudent in propos- ing to put* the Parliamentary machine in order to make possible speedy legis- lation necessitated by the process of reconstruction. Space will not permit our dealing with all the other items of the pro- gramme-the League of Nations, social regeneration, fiscal policy, and the future of Ireland. Rightly handled each should make for a better and more peaceful, domestic, political, and indus- trial Britain for future generations to live in. Every movement of the Gov- ernment in dealing with those ques- tions will tread on somebody's corns and can only be successfully dealt with by the united support of those who have no corns to be trod on but bodies to be maintained in health and pros- perty. With regard to Ireland, it may be said that no other civilised state in the world would have so long tolerated the childish turbulance and treasonable aims of an island so closely connected with its own continent and affording a point d'appui for every possible enemy. It is a oroblem that can. be solved only by a Coalition Gov- ernment with the united support of the people of this country J and if the newly-formed Government can solve it, as solved it must be speedily, it will earn the gratitude of the nation and especially of the distracted people of Ireland themselves. As far as rural Wales, as well as rural England, too, is concerned, the most important clause in the pro- gramme is that relating" to land and lood production. Therein Great Britain may with advantage take a leaf out of-the book of Germany. Bismarck in his day and long before the war saw that the virility of a nation lies largely in a healthy and prosperous agricul- tural population, and devised means to bring it into being. Unfortunately, the effort in Germany was prostituted to military aggrandisement and was mainly designed for that purpose. Nevertheless, it does not do away with the fact that a prosperous virile agri- cultural population constitutes the foundation of a virile. and prosperous industrial nation. As was frequently shown when British agriculture was prosperous and maintained a large population in the past, that population I provided for the service of the nation a virile, refreshing intellect racy of the soil. The time has now arrived when present agricultural conditions, as startlingly revealed at tribunals, can no longer be permitted if the virility of the nation, and indeed its prosperity, are to b\e m^aintailned. Conditions which put upon the land people with no other qualification than ability to pro- vide sufficient stock leviable for rent with no effectual compensation for capital spent in improvements and with no knowledge of how to put the land to its fullest use, or adapt- ability to new conditions have to be swept away and means devised for bringing the agricultural industry into line with the other great industries of the country and the consequent em- ployment of a well-housed, healthy, and contented population. In this matter alone a Coalition Government, if I so be it can obtain success, wiil d, sf-.rve the support of every elector and the gratitude of the present and all future generations.

EDITORIAL NOTES. The North Wales Calvinist-c Methodist Association, at its Towyn meeting, unani- mously decided to inaugurate some scheme for perpetuating the memory and services of Dr. Thomas Charles Edwards, lirst principal of Aberystwyth University College and a mentor of a generation of students that have since contributed much to the development of Wales in various spheres of thought and action. In honouring its great r;ea.d a nation honours itself, and in this respect ".jes has consist- ently fallen lamentably slicrt of its oppor- tunities. Cheshire Chamber of Agriculture is of opinion that the reported intention of the Min- ister of Food to take complete control of the sale and distribution of milk might become a serious matter from the point of view of the farmer as well as of the consumer. Most consumers will agree with the Cheshire Cham- farmer as well as of the consumer. Most consumers will agree with the Cheshire Cham- ber. The flat rate for milk recently fixed by the Controller has doubled the price of milk in ¡ many localities and rendered local Food Control Committees powerless in obtaining, milk at a reasonable price, having regard to the cost of production. North Cardiganshire farmers are complaining I bitterly of the dearth of labour, in spite of 1 the increased inducements held out to em- ployees. The matter was discussed at the District Agricultural Committee at Aber- ystwyth on Monday, when it was pointed out that men exempted from mili- tary service by reason of their service on the land are not yet free from the provisions of the Military Service Aot. It was decided to compile a list of men who have deserted agri- culture for timber work, mines, and similar vocations for submission to the N.S.R. with a view to their being called up to substitute agriculturists now serving with the colours whose release is to be applied for. T. The Acting Surreyor for the Dolgelley Rural I Council has made scathing references to the con- dition of a number of cowhouses in the district, J adding that there was scarcely one satisfactory as regards space, light, etc. The statement, if true, is a grave one and there is no reason to doubt its literal accuracy. Having regard to the established fact that milk is a potential source of germ infection and that it provides the staple diet of infants and invalids, it is of primary importance that it should be produced in cleanly and sanitary conditona. The Coun- cil decided to send circulars to the owners call- ing their attention to the defects complained "of, but. they may as well save the postage for all the effect they are likely to have on farmers accustomed to cowsheds reeking with dung, and obsolete methods-of milk production. Will this and similar councils ever realize their obli- gations to the public who are being poisoned by filth sold in the guise of milk. The public should also realise that it is cheaper to raze the present pestilential buildings to the ground and erect sheds better adapted for the purpose than to establish, equip, and maintain sanatoria for the treatment of results brought about by con- ditions such as are specified by the Acting Surveyor at Dolgelley. There were many aspects to the meeting of the Cardiganshire 1 iberal Association on Friday, but the outstanding feature was the firm adhesion to Liberal principles. Come what may in men or movements, the heart of Cardiganshire beats sound to the old demands. Mr. Vaughan Davies did well. It is no secret that some sections came with a mandate to reject him, and those in a position to know say that had he attempted to stand as a purely Coalition candidate he would have been defeated. We would have liked the Hon. Member to have dealt with Professor Levi's points in detail. That one on security of tenure was well answered. Whatever may be behind the speech of DLewis, of one thing there is not a shadov of doubt. He struck home on the landlord question, and we fully agree with him in his contention that the market had been "rigged" in a scandalous manner. There was nothing more courteous or more in keeping with the prestige that he enjoys than the way in which Mr. Vaughan Davies said I give you my word as a gentle- man." It was a pledge, and no higher pledge is required in any part of the globe than the word of a British gentleman. To some of the aspirants for the seat the meeting must have been a nasty jolt.

PERSONAL. Mr. J. Hugh Edwards is to be opposed by the Rev. Herbert Morgan, M.A., Bristol at Neath. Dr. Vyriiwy Morgan, whose "Life of Vis- count Rhondda." will be published next month, is just recovering from a severe illness. Captain Ernest Evans has, retired from his canditature for the Welsh University in favour of Mr. Herbert Lewis. Principal T. F. Roberts, of the University College, is at present at Westcliff-on-sea where he is slowly but surely gaining strength. In the absence of Lady Rhondda, who is still I indisposed, Mrs. Lloyd George was chairman of the opening ceremony of the Fuel Economy Campaign at Trafalgar-square on Monday. The death is announced at. 37, Highbury New Park, London, of Mrs. Lewis, wife of the Rev. H. Elvet Lewis, M.A. (Elfed), of the Weish Congregational Church at. King's Cross, the well-known Welsh bard and author. After serving the Diocese of St. David's as proctor in convocation for the period of eleven years, the Vicar of Cardiff (the Rev. M. Jones- Powell, late of Aberystwyth) retires from that position on account of his removal from the diocese The Viscountess Rhondda was prostrated with influenza on Saturday, and had to take to her bed at Oaklands, Llanhennock. After going to visit her daughter the Dowager Viscountess also developed influenza, and was en Sunday confined to bed at Llanwern Park. The death has occurred at Tenby of Mrs. Crealock, widow of the late Mr. W. H. Crea- lock. Mrs. Crealock, who was in her eighty- fourth year, was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Mathew Davies, of Tan bwlch, Cardigan- shire, and sister of Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P. Mr. Lloyd George, accompanied by Mrs. Lloyd George, left Paddington at two o'clock on Friday for Wolverhampton, where he spoke on Saturday and received the freedom of the borough. As he stepped from his car he was warmly cheered by a large crowd, who had assembled to witness his departure. The Premier smilingly acknowledged the greetings. Lieut'Colonel E. H. Thruston, R.W.F., of Pennal Tower, Merioneth, is Liberal Coalition candidate at the forthcoming election for the new division of Weston-super-Mare. Colonel Thruston joined the army in September, 191 commanded his battalion in June, 1915, and has served three years in France. He is a ion- in-law of the lat.e Sir Wilfrid Lawsll. The Rev. D. A. Jones, for 36 years pastor of Llangeitho Calvinistic Methodist, Church, died after a short illness on Saturday. He had been secretary of the South Cardiganshire Calvinis- tic Methodist Meeting for several terms, and for many years had occupied a conspicuous place in the councils of his connexion. Deep sym- in the councils of his connexion. Deep sym- pathy is felt with his son, rr. John Jenkin Ashton Jones, B.Sc., who enlist-ed early after the declaration of war, and was recalled from the Western front to 1ake up duties in Wool- wich Arsenal.

LLANCYNFELIN. Two brothers, Bdr. E W. Edwards, and Gnr Garfield Edwards, were given a welcome at the Council School, Taliesin, last week. Both have seen service in France. Bdr. Edwards I has been severely wounded and Gnr. Edwards j has been gassed; and they are now home on leave. They are the sons of Mr. D. O.

The Male Voice Choir gave two salections. The boys were presented with gifts by Miss Dora Ellis, on behalf of the Welcoming Committee. Mr. D. Jenkins, Neuaddyryavs, was chairman.

NEWCASTLE EMLYN. The Influenza is raging throughout the dis- trict, and it is almost a rare exception to come across a family which has not been visited. So far, thanks to the energetic and self-sacrific- ing spirit of local doctors few deaths have taken place. On Friday, the death took place of Private David Davies, Garregwen, Llandyfriog, after a' few days illness. Deceased was not of strong constitution and after having been with the colours for a short time he was sent to his native di trict as a farm substitute.

HARLEud. Miss Jane Pugh, youngest daughter of Coun- cillor David Pugh, is the new organist at St. Tanwg's Church. Mrs Jane Ellis was buried at St. Tanwg's Churchyaid on Wednesday. Richard Owen, youngest son of Mr and Mrs Richard Owen, Tynlhdiart, has been killed in France. This is the second Mr. and Mrs Owen have lost in the war. Two others have been serving throughout, one in Italy, the other, being discharged last week owing to wounds. A correspondent writes:—A meeting was held here on November 15th to consider the erection of a memorial to the soldiers of the district who had fallen. All agreed that a memorial should be something which would be of service to the district and future generation-a library or an institute, for instance. A committee was elected and authorised to move in the matter.

THE PAPER MARKET. "A fairly good indication that prices are not yet dropping was given at a paper auction in London last week. Rope browns fetched 105s. per cwt. and thick substance imitation krafts about the same. There is a shortage of labour and materials and all this will have the effect of keeping up prices."—Y/T.H. in the "Newspaper World." The General Manager of John Dickinsons and Co., Ltd.: "Wø see no prospect of any marked increase in supplies. There is a great in- crease in demand." These are not my statements but the opinions of experts. It means that there will be no slump and no drop in pric R. READ, Managing-Editor.

BOW STREET. The Rev D. Lloyd Morgan, D.D., Pontar- dulais, made a strong appeal at the Congrega- tional Church on behalf of the Welsh Central Fund to aid weak churches on Monday evening. The death occurred last week of Master D. Morris Davies, son of Mrs Davies and of the late Mr. D. Davies, Tymawr. The funeral took place at Llangorwen Churchyard on Tues- day, the Revs. D. Thomas and R. Williams, Penrhyncoch, officiating. The chief mourners were mother, brothers and sisters. A lantern lecture was given by the Rev. D. Wynne Evans, London, on Friday, at the Con- gregational Chapel, on Experiences with our boys behind and within the firing line." The chair was occupied by Mr. J. T. Rees, Mus. Bac. The lecture was illustrated by over 100 slides from photographs of battlefields, battle- ships, aircraft, etc, and included General Allenby entering Jerusalem, reading proclama- tion at the Tower of David, and receiving re- I presentatives of churches on Mount Zion. A silver collection amounting to JE3 14s. ld. was made for Y.M.C.A. funds. A vote of thanks was proposed by the Rev. J. Davies, Glen I. Lloyd, Garn.

¡ PWLLHELI- Thursday was thanksgiving day in the town. Places of business were closed for the day and the town was gaily decorated with flags and bunting.

In the afternoon and evening united prayer meet- ings were held in the Town Hall, which was he Rev- Thomas Williams presided at the afternoon meeting, and the Rev. Conway Jrritchard at the evening meeting. Messrs. T. T Powell and John Ellis conducted the singing. On the, proposition of Mr. G. Cornelius Roberts (ex-mayor), the evening meeting passed a vote of sympathy with Mr. Hugh Pritchard (mayor), I |n his illness. The meeting also extended a hearty welcome to the Rev. Albert Evan Jones, the son of Mr. and Mrs R. Albert Jones, a chaplain in the army who arrived home the pre- vious evening from Salonika where he has worked hard for two and half vears. A collec- tion, amounting to JE8 10s., was made at the meeting towards the blind soldiers fund. elementary schools were re-opened on Monday, but the attendance was ver\ ,m*atis- factory and the schools were closed for another week.

— j RUBBER SALVACE. Old rubber is now urgently required by the Ministry of National Service and the National Salvage Council, a scheme having been com- pleted for its collection and sale the proceeds to be for the Red Cross and St. John's Ambul- ance Societies. Old rubber of all sorts and con- ditions is urgently required, the War Office having agreed to purchase all that can be secured. Tyres, boots, cushions, bottles, cable, rubber and even rubber soles are all needed. Mr. T. H. Edwards, N.S.R., and Mr. H. Phillips will be pleased to receive rubber at the Drill Hall, Aberystwyth, from 10 a.m. to 1230 P.m., and 2 p.m. to 4j).m., daily. They intend to place the matter before the pupils of the secondary and elementary schools, and ask them to co-operate in the collection of old rubber. All the work is voluntary. No expense will be incurred, so that the money from rubber sold will be handed over to the excellent organ- isations for the relief of wounded and sick soldiers and sailors, thousands of whom will have to be treated for many months to make them fit for the struggle of life. All are earnestly asked to help in the matter.
