IMOBILISING THE INATION. I…
I MOBILISING THE NATION. I J The* all-important iact to be re- membered in connection with the j National Service Bill is that Ger- ] many has had haJf a year's start. over us. The enemy has been able to present strong front lines to the Allies because she has succeeded, by thorough organisation, and drastic methods, in economising her internal trades and sending every possible man to the fronts. Mr. Neville Chamberlain calls for a good deal of further sacrifice. Men and women must be withdrawn from j the non-essential trades. Men are wanted for the Army if our forces are to. be 'kept at the required Istren-th. Munition workers are j wanted. Agriculture must be main- j tamed. The Parliamentary critics j w ho are said to be full of misgivings ove-r the Bill have not realised the situation and the needs of the hour. A trio of excellent speakers con- nected with the Navy League is t holding open-air meetings this week ¡ in Swansea and District. We be- lieve that the three are to direct their efforts specially against the pacifist theories that are in favour among a very limited section of the population at Swansea, and per- haps rather more prominent in a few districts. One of them, Mr. Martin, is not unknown here. Long before the outbreak of war came to .shatter our beliefs, he preached National Service at every street corner of the town. He was almost a lone voice, unrecognised by any of tho political parties, but" ex- pressed himseli with peculiar power and often in, the columns of this paper, in. which hid held himself valiantly in controversy. He comes to Sw&nsejv to-day under greatly changed condi i and we are glad to see that, in combatting th0 views af the peace negotiation party, he has lost none of his former vigour .of speech. The views expressed in the House of Commons by the Snowden group were of particular interest to Swan- sea, since they were very much of tlie. saoic nature as the speakers had t,f,Avar.teed at Pleasant I.L.P. After- noons in the. town. Therefore the trouncing administered by Mr. Bons-r Law must have been received with mixed feelings by the people who were impressed by their argu- ments. Mr. Spender (teals' with- the group excellently when he de-4 flares that he believes that Messrs. Snowden, Trevelyan antt Ponsonby' are under an entire delusion as to what the G.ermans are willing to give here and new and a delusion atmosl3 as complete as to tire Ger- man character. Germany will only surrender- the "minimum. that may he forced from her,, .when she is beaten, a11$1 at this moment she is under the of victory. The 'misty ideajb^na' wttich believes that Germany fenows herself to havebeen i punished, to be anxious for peace and for the extension of the hand of fellowship corresponds to nothing that wa know of the present feeling in Ger111,any. The Swansea Corporation Ab- stract of Accounts is a rich mine of I municipal information, well worthy the attention of the man who can take his mind awliilo off the great topics of the day and immerse him- self in local affairs. In Mr. Ashmole's time the usefulness of the Abstract has been very much increased. The population" of Swansea is now esti- mated at 126,100, and the net loan debt is placed at £ 2,3^9,761. In the ten years since 1905-6, we have! increased over 25,000 in population and our indebtedness has gone up j by £230,000. The most satisfactory statistics! in the look concern the waterworks. In 1912-13 the charge on the rates came to £ 26,792; last year the figure was -623,319, tho lowest since the Cray water loans were fully taken ul;6 The total capital outlay on the Waterworks is now £ 1,287,35-1 | fef which nearly 25 per cent. has been repaid or provided for), and we pay no less than zC53,179 in divi- (lends on stock, in contributions for redemption, mortgages, etc. The total income is £ 47,841, and the working expenses £ 18,738. The burden of the waterworks will yearly grow less. The Electric Lighting Station shows a gross profit of 7^ per cent. upon the gross capital outlay, the profit, as compared with the previous year being increased by £ 3,158. Mr. Ashmole finds that a I much larger number of units has been generated with a reduction in the coal used o over 20 per cen., I so that the increased price of coal and labour has been nearly met by some economy in working the station as compared with previous yeaya- Upon the Tramways De- partment the balance at 31st March last was ?,087, b1; tn view of he great depreciation in the invest i?e?t the avaHab? surp? is r??

Emily Kinnaird at Thursday s cercmony Girls are full of ideas aud\ patriotism. I The Llanelly Harbour Trust havol wisely decided to admit reporters not only to their ordinary meetings (which has been the rule for some years), but also to the Finance and General Purposes Committee. Tbo exclusion of the pressmen meani that when they put in an appbar" ance at the monthly meetings every thing was cut and dried, so tL,a, hardly any inkling could be given, to the public of what had trans-j pired in private. With more pub-i licity it is hoped to re-kindle the ia-i terest which some years ago warf manifested in the Trust's delibera- tions. When a public authority is indebted to the Bank of England to. the tune of over a quarter million sterling, it is surely not too much, tu expect the public to take a prac- tical. interest in its affairs, because such interest is reflected by the* i members who, when the .burgesses are indifferent, are inclined to allow things to go on in their own. sweetp., way.
