I WORLD'S OUTLOOK.
I WORLD'S OUTLOOK. IN otable Address by a Swansea Layman. At a public meeting at Penarth in con- nection with the Wesleyan Synod, Mr. A. R. Dawson, H.M. Collector of Customs, I Swansea, was the sidected layman to speak on the subject of The World' Outlook/' In the course of a telling ad- I dress he said the world was growing smaller. Great events were no longer local. If a man spoke in London to-day the wise men of the East reileeted to- morrow. America's destiny previously appeared to be self-contained. To-day she interposes l>ecause tit" eonnnou preroga- tives of race overlap the boundaries oi nationalities. The most prominent, world characteristic was the claim of the de- il mocracy. Democracy was not a title ap- plicable to a section, but to the crowd. who lived by exertion instead of pri- vilege. There had been t-tranp-e move- ments among peoples. In this country we were perplexed by the woman movement, and attributed it to wrong caiu^ee. We viewed with suspicions the combinations of workers. In India. China and Africa there had been movements. Lt was the stirring of the crowd, who were attaining a new vision of life God had made the world, and pronounced it very good; the crowd viewed what man had made of it, and fcaid it was. very bad. God made a world for man to be happy in; man made a world for God to be unhappy in. War would quicken the movement. Already the Prussian Colossus had shaken his head, and the 'K-omano'ffs had fallen from his shoulders. This war was not for the subjugation or freedom of certain nations; it was for the freedom of the race from the over-riding power of minorities. The clamant need to-day was for a world re- ligion that would he authoritative. De- mocracy could be as selfish as autocracy. If the church failed to-day, and the ill- ci easing number were outside the churches, the world would be in darkness. The world gospel needed application of woijld issues. Truth was not an ascer- tained quantity, to be embodied in the Knai creed, but u perpetual revelation. We forgot that Jesus lirst preached the social gospel in the sermon on the Mount, and subsequently dealt with individuals. The church had put the individual lirst and neglected the social gospel. Perhaps some day it would be recognised that all sin was due 10 selfishness, and all selfishness was sin. The man who under-payed his employe, and the employe who rendered inadequate service, mijrht then be placed in the same category as the man who drank, and the man who Haunted wealth without regard to human need, might be ranked as immoral. The crowd bad little regard for disputing churches, denying each other sacraments and ordeis, or for the rivalries of competitive churches. Be- fore the world united the church must be united. The ideal world was where each man has his chance to aid the community by expressing his power, and each national family lived without dread of its neigh- bour. This would no!, be attained UllíiJ unselfishness was more tullv inculcated and adopted by each grade of society.
THRcE TONS OF POTATOES.I
THRcE TONS OF POTATOES. It is estimated that about th ree1 thousand people sought a package of the three tons of potatoes obtained by the Swansea Corporation, and there were many animated scenes "out side the Guild- hall during the distribution oil Saturday morning. The crowd which literally thronged the Guildhall Square, and which W:1S arranged by the borough police aaul special j constables in Pu:g queues, was mostly com- posed of the artisan Class, and tlH'Y passed quite uno.«tentatiously into the Tunnel Hotel, where the 41b. package of potatoes waf: handed out for 7d. a time by Coun- cilors and Corporation officials. Unfortunately the supply was not by any menns snflieiellt to meet the demand, and many had to wait in vain. It is stated that the crowd began to assemble outside the Guildhall as early at eight j o'clock, and waited for over three hours.

Delegates from all parts of South and West Wales attended a conference at the Elvsium, Swansea, on Saturday afternoon, when matters of far-reaching importance in connection with the food question were i down for discussion. A feature of the gathering was the presentation of a state- ment by Mr. It. S. B;vtry, president of the Port Talbot and Taibach Co-operative Society, with reference to the refusal of Messrs. Weaver and Co., Ltd., Swansea, to supply the society with flour. The coa-  -lir. Nleth J,),ios ference, organ .M'd by Mr. Meth Jones (Bridgend), was the most representative and most important yet held iu Wales in regard to food prices, and one of the reso- lutions on the agenda urged the purchase •• -.mrorted twdstuft's; and the selling of bread and flour for the period of the war and six months after- wards at a. priee not exceeding 6d. per quartern loaf, any loss so involved to be met as a portion of the general cost of the war. In the absence of Mr. D. Williams, Mr. J. NA-ignall, presided, and he was supported by Messrs. John James (miners' agent), H. S. Batry, Meth Jcjner, (secre- f tary), etc. After the Secretary had referred to the dispute of the Taibaeh Co-operative Society, an organisation, he said, which wag putting up a tplendid fight for the workers, the Chairman characterised the conference as one of the most important over held in the district. Profftœring I with the food supply, he emphasised, was the greatest scandal that had ever risen, Regarding the appointment of the Food Controllcr, the Chairman observed that the remarkable fact was that since the Food Controller had been in existence prices had gone up. There illust be, he concl uded, strong, legislative action to make profiteering a crime. He referred to the scandal ct the seed potatoes, and felt that if the Food Controller was as effective in preventing supplies rising h- he was of stopping them. it would be all right. Mr. Chairman and fellow victims of an incompetent food control," said Air. H. S. Batey in moving a resolution call- ing upon the Government to purchase all essential imported foodstuffs, the com- mandeering of all home-grown food pro- ducts. the commandeering of ships, the control of food prices, and the selling of bread for the period of the war and six months afterwards at a price not exceed- ing 6d. per quartern loaf, and thut powers he given to municipal, urban, and other local authorities to set up special food control committees. Making reference to the dispute of the Taibaeh Co-operacive Society in conse- quenee of Messrs. Weaver, Ltd., Swansea, refusing to supply them with lfour, he emphasised that th worst scandal of the food question was that if a retail society wished to sell the people articles at fair prices, they were boycotted by wholesale firme. ("Shame.") It had been statecL Mr. Batey added, that by selling breao at a price of 9d. per quartern loaf. the Taibaeh Association v,a« losing 12s lid per sack. That was incorrect, and he quoted in conclusion the following official statistics. The cost of) production in Cardiff was 4s. Hd. per sack; Swansea, 8s. (;-d.; Neath, 4s. 9d.; and the cost of distribution in Cardiff was I 7s. 4id.; Swansea, 5s. Hd.; Neath, 5e. lid Taibacu, 3s. It was possible, he empha- sised, to bake 60 sacks of flour, sell at the price of 9d. per quartern loaf, and make a cl(,ar profit of i-J. Mr. John James, in seconding, observed that in the appointment of the Food Cor»- LI-ollc-r, they had put the poachers to looK after the ^aiu • Dr. Marion Phillips, of the Central War I Emergency Committee, said she did not I think there was a person in the Food Con- trol who knew what the real position was. She was perfectly sure Lord Devonport didn't know, and she emphasised that the war had shown the real incapacity of the j man who had been engaged ail bis life in a business conducted for the sake of pro- fit when he turned hio attention to con- ducting a busine-s:> for public safety. The root cause of that gathering, ir. J. Twomey pointtxl out, was war. it was not only the war of the nation, but the war of the exploiting class against the consumers of the coumry. The resolution was carried unanimously, j and it was also agreed that unless the ( action outlined in the resolution proves effective within four weeks, they appeal; to the Triple Alliance and other trades unions to enforce the demands by other means. The conference passed a resolution pro- testing against the action of the alitlirii-i- ties in arresting 6e\^i members of the Amalgamated Society?i Lnginoers in con- nection with the engineers' strike. Moved by the chairman, and seconded by Mr. MetU Jones, a resolution was also passed requesting the members of Parlia- ment for the Welsh constituencies- to take up the sugar question with the Sugar Commission, and endeavour to obtain for the Co-operative Societies, an equitable supply based on present membership, and not on the supply of 1915. Satisfaction was expressed at the good work of the War Emergency Committee, and a resolution to that effect was earned. I

David Davies) was criticised at a oontemice in connection with the food question at thp Elysium, Swansea, on Saturday when dele- ::ale<s were present, represent!a:; 2-15,(100 I workmen. It arose over the aci-ion of the Education Committee in deciding to ask local teachers they were conscien- tious objectors or not, and when t.he com- mittee's intention was announebd to the conference it evoked cries of Shame." Mr. John Twomey quoted the words of the Mayor who observed at the meeting of the Council thnt he had "a conscientious objection to coMiseie-ntioua objectors." "1 wish." said Mr. Twomey, he had a con- scientious objection to tlie profiteers of this oountry, and not so much to the con- scientious objectors to the war, which has broiijrht about the neee-ssaiy of us meeting here to-day."

Hundreds of tinplaters have been tTMM- litinclrt- d s of tin- f erred to spelter and steel works in different oarts oi the country, and have adapted themselves to the work, for which it appears they are particu.larly suitable, this being due no doubt to their experi- ence of heat and fires at thenr previous occupations.
