IWELSH HOME RULE. Mr. A. Henderson on I Devolution At another meeting, held in New Siloh Chapel, Landore, Mr. Arthur Hen derson, referring to devolution, said Labour was convinced that the right of the Welsh people to complete autonomy must speedily be recognised. That was the only policy which true democrats could sup- port, because it was consistent with the right of self-determination. The Labour party was. therefore, committed to a scheme of separate legislative assemblies for Wales, Scotland, and England, as well Ireland. (Applause). I CHRONIC PARLIAMENTARY CON- GESTION. I Experience had shown that the House of Commons, as at present constituted, was incapable of dealing effectively with I the urgent public busines which the conn- try demanded. For years Parliamentary work hud been in a state of chronic con- gestion. [Die Imperial Parliament, like the mill of God. grinds slowly, but some- times it grinds exceedingly small, devoting precious time to comparatively trivial points, instead of being concerned with matters of Imperial and international im- portance. (Applause), To remedy this they were urged to the conclusion that local Parliaments should be empowered to deal with local affairs, without the con- trol of a national executive, on the basis I of complete autonomy. The Federal Gov- ernment at Westminster, with represen- tatives from Overseas Dominions and India, should have the responsibility for administering the affairs of the Britan- nic Federation as a whole. Such a scheme would strengthen the national spirit in such self-governing communities. (Ap- plause). I WELSH NATIONALISM. Happily, the national spirit in the Prin- cipality was already a very powerful in- fluence. True nationalism meant for loal Welshmen a great deal more then the intensive cultivation of race pride and the preservation of ancient etistoms. (Hear, hear). It meant the increased de- velopment of the material and moral re- sources of the whole people. It would, in his opinion, produce a keener and more int'prig'?nt interest in the political, eocia? n "I i I, I in"Ereft I ii t-lieI -tnd pi:oM<hins; wbi?eh aw-,ilttd I A WELSH PARLIAMENT. A Parliament for the Principality would ewe our aye Welshmen and Welsh women to bake greater intere:d in their own affairs. (Applause.) It would quickfn the intensive desire to have the problems of life more speedily grappled with. (Ap- plause,1) I A COSMOPOLITAN EMPIRE. The people of the United Kingdom were part of a great and powerful Empire, which comprised many races, many lan- guages. many religions, and many com- rnunities in "ry stae (,f politic-al and economic development. They had self- I governing communities like Australia, I Sontili. Africa, Canada. and New Zealand, and sooiie semi-depen dent, like India and Eyvpt, and others not so far advanced. I V A VAST TRUSTEESHIP. Now, the whole responsibility for this vast commonwealth of peoples, with the prospective development of their immense moral and material resonces, rested upon the British Parliament, to a large xtent. (Applause.) "'Woe were trustees, and tliei Peaee Conference had added considerably j to those resoorjsibilitios. r A CO-ORDINATING CENTRE. We wanted a great co-ordinating centre, •er a -Commonwe«Uth Parliament, and this could only he effectively secured by re-, lieving Parliament of the necessity for coring for purely 1-xsal affairs.. (Ap- plause.) Without such a scheme of devolu- tion the vast potentialities tor good of a properly cortzti-tiited Parlio-n-ient must he minimised, if not actually lost, to the British people and mankind at large, j (Great ooee.ring.)

MORE HOUSES. I l Calls from Sketty and East Side. SITES TO BE VISITED I At Wednesday's meeting of the Swansea Housing Committee several members brought in now suggestions for schemes in their own particular localities. Ald. James moved that the committee consider the building of 300 houses in f-ke t-t There were, he said, cases of three and four families dwelling in one $10use. He advocated a site at liendre- foilan-road, • which, he said the Medical Officer of Health had declared to be the ¡ beet in the town. The sun Ls there I morning and night," declared the alder- man. Mr. H. D. Griffiths alluded to the needs tof the East Side, which was not develop- ing, but developed, and where the lack of bouses was more acute than in any part of the town. There tnu; a case, he said, pf a man and wife and seven children iivinsr in one room. I EAST SIDE POSITION. I > Mr. B-. M. jKe«s stated that the housing ^conditions were wor6e in Port Tennant than in any part of the town. Some of the houses had been built 200 to 300 years ago- They bad Kilvey Hill rising at their backs. Close to, at Tyrgwl, there was room for fifty houses, which would have the benefit of a view of the sea and the effect of the eea breezes. In Foxhole the had nothing in the way of air that was not polluted by chemical smells and the odour of manure. It was pitiful to flee the wan faces of the women and children. The Chairman agreed that the condi. itions were pitiable. Much of the pro- perty ought to have been closed, but the Oaousing shortage did not permit of it being done. He felt that the architect and medical officer, with those memhers who could go, should make a day of it and visit Sketty and Foxhole. Mr. H. D. Griffiths: Yes, and come to Port Tennant, too. The Chairman: You will all get your Quota in due oourae. .Mr. Griffiths: Yes, but it seems to me that the Town Hill scheme is hanging up ,the vriiole lot. EMPTY HOUSES. I De-fa-Beche Street Facts. I Swansea people have been looking at the row of empty houses in De-la-Beehe- st.reet for some time, and wondering when the, To Let board is likelv to o up. Others have taken time by the forelock and gone to the Borough Estate Office to inquire for them. But even the first inquirer after the Belgians left would have been too late. There is a list as long as a man's arm. The whole position is that the bouses were acquired by the Education Authority in view of the necessity for j enlargmg the Boys' Municipal Secon- dary School, which they adjoin. They were placed at the disposal of the Bel- gian refugees, who vacated them in March. The houses are in a very bad state of repair, and it is felt that. before they could be let a big sum would have to be spent on them. And, as the houses are likely to he taken in hand very soon for the purpose for which they ere acquired, a heavy expenditure would hardly be justified. The matter was raised at Wednesday's meeting of the ^Education Committee, when Councillor Harry Griffiths re- marked that if the Education Committee was not ready to use the houses for the Municipal Secondary School extensions, jfchey should be let in the meantime. Mr. Harding said it was a standing (disgrace that at the present moment there were five empty houses in the town. It was agreed to communicate with the Education Committee on the matter. I HOUSE FAMINE. I Swansea Applications for I Possession. I At a late hour '.n Wednesday evening, im,rer.ul applications for possession of houses were made in Swansea County Oourt, before His Honour Judge Row- land Rowlands. That of Albert Johnson r. Tucker, for {possession of 7, Spencer-street, was ad- journed for a month. Win. Cox applied for possession of 38, Oakland-road, Mumbles, now tenanted by ■Mr. Griffith L. Jones. Applicant had offered his tenant a house in St. Thomas, which was said to be wKhin a stone's throw of t-be school in which he was a teacher, at a slightly increased rent. The offer was still open. His Honour held that this was alter- nate occupation and quite reasonable, and lie made an order for possession on Sept. 29th. In the case of Beatrice May Fry v. Geo. applicant had offered to exchange hou<es.—-The Judge made an ordfr for possession in a month. The application of J,o'lliFoa Johnson Against Mr. Cousins, 15, Waterloo-street, was adjourned for a month, 00 that an (arrangement of rooms might be come to. Agnes .Tones applr.ed for possession of 30, Norfolk--street, now in the occupation of Ben Jones.—Applicant, the owner of •the house, had asked respondent to allow her to have two rooms, and be had re- ^sed.—J ud^e made an order far posses- sion of the front bedroom, bicic silting- Srocau, and back kitchen in H daya.

THE TUBE-WORKERS. To the Editor. 11 '1'0 the };ditor. isir,-—Kjadly allow me a little space to reply to statements made by Mr. Ben tRees, the chairman of the Ly 11 do re Tube- "workox-s Joint Comm/'ttee, on Monday night.

"GROSS SLANDER." I Pamphlet Which Smillie Signed. ROUSE OF COMMONS, Wednesday. I Sir J. D. Rees asked the Secretarv fot India whether his attention had v been called to the pamphlet entitled Coercion and Repression in India," signed by -A.ic,,ssrs. S-irillie. Williams, and Lansbury, and whether he had any information as to the extent of its distribution and effect. Mr. Montagu was understood to reply that he had SN'n the pamphlet, which 1 contained a gross slander on loya-l men. Tliere was nothing to show that the dis- tribution or effect of the document in 1 India had been widespread. I MIS-STATEMENT OF FACT.

WATER SOURCES.f
WATER SOURCES. f Swansea Engineer at I nstruc. I tive Discussion. The Swansea. Waterworks Comfilittee on Wednesday received an interesting report on the proceedings of the Institution of Water Engineers at London and the Bri- tish. Waterworks Association at Leeds. The meetings had been, attended by the Engineer (Mr. G. R, Collinson) and the I vice-chairman (Aid. G. A. Hemming*?. The former stated that the discussions I were very instructive to hitn. The chairman of the institution, in his address, presented a valu- able surrey of all matters of current importance relating to water undertakings, and Sir John Snell gave a statement on the work of the Board of Trade Committee on water under- takings, of which ha is chairman, and which Committee, he said, now accepted as an axiom that whatever is done as re- gards water power, the domestic needs of the country must first be investigated and provided for. The utilisation of water sources from a national rather than a parochial manner, was the subject of discussion at the Leeds Con,'erc,ilee, rerrftenting 90 per- cent, of the country's watex, undertakings. This was not a new question; a co-ordinated scheme for Glamorgan was proposed in 3!?07. The theory was excellent, but there were pitfalls to be avoided. It has been stated in the Press that the Government intended to bring in a Water Resources Bill, and in view of the pressing importance of the subject, the British Waterworks Association had ap- I pointed a. committee to jo thoroughly into the question, with instructions to report to the next meeting of the Asso- ciation in October. It was decided to appoint the Engineer and chairman or vice-chairman to repre- sent Swansea on the Committee in ques- tion.

SWANSEA'S THIRST. I W, Water Consumption I Statistics. The Swansea Water Committee on Wednesday received statistics which show that the rainfall for the first half of 1919 4s just about the average of the last 19 years. The storage position is still oatir- factory, despite the fact that the cont.ants of the reservoirs have been continuously falling sinco the mkldje of Apr'l. The quantity stored was reduced by 129 mil- lion gallon's in May, and 179 million gallons in Jun'?, leaving 1,075 million gallons in hand, which will suffice for oil months at the rate of decline for June. A compar'Jt'tiive table ellows that the comparative daily consumption oviar the six months under review has declined very considerably in relation to that for previous years. The average daily con- sumption for the first half yea.r is as fol- lows: 1917-9,850,000 gallons: 1918— 7,960,000 gallons; 1919—6,9^,000. Mr. Collinson added that he is satisfied that steady regular progress is still being mad., in reducing the wasb? The engineer pointed out that the rate of 13. M. per 100 ?aUou.s of water to nseJ.s ? not remunerative, for sfna?? quantities, and his sugg>afttion that a charge of 4s. per supply be made for the cost of the waterman's attendance, wbere the quanaty taken is lets than 1,000 gal- lons, was accepted. Mr Collinson, in his report, recom- mended the supply of Corporation- water to Cefnhengoed, Bonyrifaen, by means of a new pumping station and storage tanks. Making use of existing plant, etc., the I co-< is estimated to b., not more than ,8300. —The recommendation virc, accepted. CAMPERS' WATER. A deputation ot the Oysteriaouth and Gower Campers' Association attended reo. garding the water supply. It was stated that the charge originally imposed by the Oystermouth Council was as. per season per camper, but this was reduced to. z. fid. diiririg the war, when the canapers wlêre nQt permitted to eleep at the camp. The engineer ha/1 made a charge of 5s. Mr. F. Taylor and other gentlemen spoke for the deputation, and one sugges- tion was that there should boa a metre. It was pointed cut that there was a long distance to carry the water, and the depu- tation desired better facilities and a nearer supply rather than reduced costs. AT THEIR OWN COST. I The committee decided that ttit campers should be permitted to extend the main themselves at their own cost, and that the charge should remain at 5s. per bungalow or tent per season. The deputation expressed their accept- ance of this suggestion.
