__h_ "CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE SWANSEA AND THE r H!DDEN PLAGUE. I VISIT OF LEADERS OF ¡' NATIONAL MOVEMEN OF I Under the auspices of the National Council for Corn batting Venereal Dis- eases, a, aplendidly-attended puMic meet- ing was held at the ',+wansea Albert Minor Hall on Friday evening, when ad- dresses were delivered on the subject by: Dt. Sir Malcolm Morn?, K.C.V.O., F.R.C.S.E. (the chairman of the National Council), and Dr. Winifred OulUs, lec- turer en physiology in the Women's College, London, and who holds & very high position in the scientific world. Thf c-b..r,r wa.s taken by the Deputy-Mayor (AM. Ben Jones), who was supported by Coun. Dd. Williams (chairman of the Swansea Health Cmmitt.e), Dr. J. A. i Rawling«t, Commander Down, Mr. J.) Aeron Thomas, Dr. T. Evans (medical ofncpr of health), and Mr. Roger Beck I (chairman of the Hospital Board). In opening, the I-eputv-Ma-vor said that Dr. Bvans had done all in b?s power to minimise the terrible evil under notice,' and he (the chairman) hoped they would alt do their best to make Swansea, a I healthier, cleaner, a-nd a. more religious Swansea. (Applause.) In the course of a. striking address Dr. Malcolm Morris declared there had been a conspiracy in t'be past not to talk of these things in respectable circles. The National Council had been responsible for breaking down that conspiracy—(hea-r, hear)—and they were not going to lapse tt.ga.tn into the old wretched system of never investigating a thing beenu" it was ugly and nastv. Those diseases were respon- sible for a very large amount of infantile mnrtaHty, all of which could be stopped they prevented child birth, and they in- troduced into the world maimed children. Taking his hearers aguratively through a ward in the Swansea Hospital and then through an asylum, he declared that cases cf aneurism of the aorta, 98 per cant. of them, were due to untreated or. badly treated venereal diseases. Heart' diaea.se was also a late manifestation of the diseases in many cases. These diseases Sir Malcolm said produce a.n amount of blindaess ten times more horrible than the blind- ness produced by the war. They accounted for one-fourth of the blindness in the country <md over 50 per cant. of the ..terilit,y of the country." It WM thought by some that these diseases (Dr. Moms went on) werf sent aa a punish- ment for sin but he could nevfr believe it, for a large percentage fe!] on absolutely in- noceut v.outen and childreu. and it was their duty to nght the di&eaaes with all their might. (Hear, hear.) As to the methods fo.r oombatting the evil, he ajt act.ive. energetlic early treatment, ajid tile prevention of attack by every moral a.nd religious inHuence tha-t could be brought to bear upon the young. He explained the scheme of the Tocal Govemment Boaj-d, by which local authoritiea were empowered t.o give free advice and treatment, a.nd declared tha.t thp one-fourth cost to the ratepayers I would be sa'ed in one single gen&ra.tion. (HeaM, hear.) Educating the Ycung. I Dr. Winifred C'uHis dealt with the ecoHO- mic-side of the question. She urged the im-' portAnce of fducatm?

COAL WILL BE CHEAPER! ——— 10 GOOD NEWS FOR CONSUMERS, i I THE NEW ORDER AT I SWANSEA. Unc<'r the new Order, which the Swansea Corpora.tion Co&l Cotninittee w<M appointeti on Thursday to carry out, the reta-il prices of co&l looks like being some shillings a hm cheaper than a,t present. This will be doe to the limitation of the retailers' profit and the 6stablishment of a fixed aelliug prio schedule. The position at,$wajlrea is that the coal merchants have already been a.sked to sub- mit tentativje suggestions uppn the carrying out cf the Coal Controller's Order, which cornea into force next month, or As eoort as possible thereafter, a.nd when theae ha.ve bee:i coiiqidererl by the Swansea. Coal Com- mittee a joint cotiferencf win be held to es- ta,bliah the schedule. The Order prescribes dennitely the profits, but lea.ve.<; the lc<-a! arr&ngements to the I Coal Conunittee to enforce. The oonditiotM ha.ve cornpHcated beartnga, but the cha-rgM aJlo\ved for are pla.in, and, with the coaJ merch&]?t'<' co-operation, they will easily be surmounted. A few of the QifRcultiea would appe&r to be to apportion the establishment charges, where, for instance, coa.1 is only one factor of a haulier's busin?s?. ?nd al*?o to ensure the dlivry of nxed crades. ¡ 8<MMFtgM!'M. I I I  A "-Ually Y-Qo"t" representative ]ntM-ewed CouncUlor W. W. Holmt'OR (the chairman of the new Swana Coal Committee'), on Fridav, and Councilor Holmes stated that the Order ctearh' prescribed that the retail prices of houlohold coals (one ton or more) nhail not exceed by more than hr. a ton the cost of the <*M.L delivered at the merchant's depot. If) gether with the merchant's depot office ex- pend tture and cartage charges. Broadlv. the Order provides, continupd Mr. Ho!mos. for 6! od. to 7s. 6d. a ton on the price 12 ninths before the war, phjs la. for coat mer j chants' pront. priva-te wagon hire (which rangea from 2-!d.' to 7d. per ton), and; in addttton. there n-ppears to be the merchant's depot" ofHce '='xpendit)ire, and co.st of 'ca,rtage. The cartage duru? the war ha.s increased at Swansea, from I". 6d. to 3a. 6d. a. ton. "The charges att?gether !ook like being from 10f. t-o 12s. a ton over pre-war prices to the consumer," said Mr. Holmes. "The I Order prevents merchants charging any pro- fit thpy )ike. as they naed to, and I anticipate the pubUc wiU be abie to get their coal now HwerøJshi1Jing!' a ton cheaper than they otherwise wou.,d. Jn case a tocat authority experiences difficulty in securing the co- operation of merchants—this is not ant;ci- pated for one moment tt SwAnsea—wit-h a. view of drawing up a schedu)e of prices, they I can inform the controUer who would then consider the question of instituting a local I UMuirv.

The Chairman extended a 'etcome to Mrs. JBen Jones, the iadv member of the rom- m'ttee. The As,stzt)it Executive <-)mcer submitted a report of the work already done. He- gardiiig Hour 276 spptk'&tions for co wpcnsR- tion in respect of 2.0H7 sacks of flour had been mad" and 212 of tlie.,e had been- duty diecked and the buik iound to be in ordev. The appiicat'ons for sugar had at&o been. considered and incorrect forms deait wtt'h. Tht Chairman expifined that the applica- tions for sugar card;; were rather in excess of ha if the poplits,tioii, so that thpre wa nearty ha)t the poputation who had not yet apphed. The time was rapidty parsing and those who wanted sugar should nit up the terms without detay. The laft day tor send- j in in forms was Octobe]' 5th, and if per- sons had not got a form n!! they had to do w<M to apptv to th? Fost Office or the Omce. Free Library, in ?.(Y) or XOO there was no address giVPH on the forms and it was therefore impossibte to trace the ap- piica.nts, 'V ho. however, would rind out their omission when tiMy found th?ir neighbours got snga.r and they did not. Regarding the applications from rftailers a few had opened business since the war and were more or iess out of datf. The committe". however, ha.d discretionary powfi'. and in of the cases the applications had been granted as com- ing within the requirements. They were bona fide cases.

"ABLE-BODIED CRAVENS," Mr. Ben Tillett on the Pacifists. In an article In the "Dockers' Record'' Mr. Ben Tillett remarks that "The majority of the militant, pacifists appear to be aMe- bodied. craveiis., bla- tantty excusing their cowardiee jn tha facs of not merely a. nationa) peril, but a peri] to civiUsation and humanity alike. Too many milHons of Hves have already been sacriticed. "To the horrot' of battit and the sacrince of human be'ngs as fodder for camton is added the uncertainty promoted by so-catted peace movements. In Hussi-j, the peace move- ment has not yet destroyed the Revolution, hut it meant the less of a. quarter of a million lives. I'lie Tsar's best friends in Rut-sia are the pacifists, as the Ka'.ser's best friends in this country a.re the pacifists. "Generally speaking, the pacifn-ts u) Russia, and this, country have hciped to delay the war's ending, j¡¡t as they have confused the Nvae s eti d I it1 .1 i- t as terms of peace."
