PEMBREY FACTORY. I Employes' Presentation to I General Manager. j I At the Parish Hall, Mr. Armes, general yianager of the National Filling Factory, Peiibbrey, and his wife, were the re- cipients of some gifts subscribed for by othe ofifcinale and employees of the factory. The haU was decorated with garlands I and flowers by the nurses under Mies E. Morris, M.B.E.. lady supervisor, and v daughter o-f the late Sir Lewis Morris, Carmarthen. A splendid programme was given by the following: Misses Bessie Williams, Carrim, Preece, May John, Corona Roes, "Mary Eynon and Arnold, Mresre. Brython ~il!<:arn«, Rich Evans, Joseph Gower, and G. A. Humphreys, ably accompanied by Mr. W. T. Richards- A number of topical verses were composed by the chair- man. Mr. J. R. Samuel (men's super- visor). The presentations were made by Mr. J. Evans, traffic managor, of a case cf cutlery, consisting of 9\/ pieces in all, 1o Mr. Armes, and a solid silver coffee jug to Sirs Armes by Miss Morris. I The cliairinan referred to the happy feelling that existed between Mr. Armes I and the employees for upwards of four years. The value of the presents that evening was nearly £ 100. Speecilies were also made by Srrgt- Major J. Gay Roes (reprosenef'ng the dis- charged sailors and soldiers), Messrs. D. G. Morgan (Dockers' Union). J. T. Davies (shifts superintendent), J. R. Humphreys and W. Humphreys. Mr. and Mrs. Annes sui-bablv responded.

POLICE UNION. I Swansea Members May Secede. The Cainbria Dadly, Trader" under- stands that there is a general feeling among the members of the Swansea Polioa Force that they should secede from the Police Union. fhis does not infer tbart the local mem- b'2! of the Force do not believe in the principle of unity, said one of their num- ber to a Leader" representative, but the Swansea feeling is that the men have bocn grievously misled by their leaders. No definite action has yet been taken, but it is expected that matters will be brought to a head before the end of the week.

AMMANFORD BAND. At, Ammanford Council on Tuesday right, Mr. Evan Lewis presiding, Mr. F. Dawson moved that the Council render financial support to the Ammanford Silver Band, whose funds (he said) had reached a low water mark. The clerk said that unless it could be proved that the band had something to do with the sanitation of Ammanford the Council could not render financial sup- port. 'Laughter). Mr. Dawson said his idea was to sup- port the band indirectly, by engaging them two or three times a year at a rea- sonable fee. An amendment by Mr. R. R. Evans was ultimately tarried, that the Peace Cele- brations Committee engage the band.

rR. A. ANDREWS SWAKSEA EVIDENCE BEFORE COfril\1IS8!ûf GOAL PSiCE-CUITINC The evidence of Mr. Arthur Andrews, president of the Swansea Chamber of Commerce, tendered on behalf of the Chamber to the Coal Commission, deserves a wider publicity than it has had. Mr. Andrews has been engaged in the South Wales coal trade all his life, and for the last 16 years at Swansea, and has, there- fore, a thorough knowledge of the pecu- liar trade of the western portion of the coalfield, both anthracite and steam. EAST AND WEST COMPARED. fc>peai £ ing witii regard to steam coal, Mr. Andrews pointed cut that the western part of the coaliicld differed materially iioni the eastern. Collieries were smal- ler, and the coal was very soft and fri- able and produced an abnormal quantity oi siiiaii. This disability necessitated very special marketing, and some of the exporters had been obliged to erect fuel works in France. The quietly growing market was solely due to the enterprise ol the colliery proprietors and the exporters, who were now only beginning to realise the fruits of their labour. Witness could not conceive that under national owner- ship of mines such enterprise could or would be undertaken. ANTHRACITE. As to anthracite, this was a class of coal peculiar to West Wales, and a compara- tively new industry in the oommercial sense, the output being increased from 1,817,800 tons in 1899 to 1156,517 tons in 1913. It had taken many years of patient industry to bring its merits before the notice of home and continental consumers. In 1884, when it was first exported, it was literally given away to induce oonsumers to make trials. Special stones were designed and sold under cost, and often erected free. Pro- paganda work was necessary; one pioneer spent 12 months in San Francisco, and witness himself spent some months in Sweden, where he had to sell at consider- ably less than cost to get trials made. Ex- pensive and complicated machinery had now been erected for washing and re- moving impurities. ESSENTIALLY COMPETITIVE. The result of the denlopments was entirely due to the energy, enterprise and pioneer work of the exporting houses, who would probably never reap the full benefit of the work and money expended. lie could not imagine that such strenuous pioneer work would have been under- taken by State controlled or owned col- lieries. His principal reason for this be- lief was that coal would remain essenti- ally a competitive article, not so much in the home trade, but for foreign mar- kets. The vital principle of Govern- mental management had never been based on competitive lines, for it had of necessity in the past created a virtual monopoly. State machinery for the ownership of the mines, and in the distribution of the product, in his opinion, would not re- spond readily to competitive conditions, and as a result markets would be lost to unfettered foreign competition, spurred on by the keener eftorts of pri- vate enterprise, with its greater elas- ticity in meeting special conditions. Governmental control in this cotintry in the past had not suggested much elas- ticity in meeting new conditions, even when that control had created a virtual monopoly, and lie could not therefore believe that he could hope for any im- provement in this respect in dealing with a strictly competitive article like coal. The very system was all against such a belief. The State as a trading concern had not a single success to its credit, not- withstanding that it had the benefit of an absolute monopoly. He instanced the postal services, the teleprn^hs and the telephones as striking illustrations of failure—both commercially and to provide a good service. State control and the telephones compared unfavour- ably with the private management of the National Telephone Co., both in point of cost and service. POLITICAL ELEMENT. An important point, too, was that keen price-cutting for work! markets might convert the commercial aspect into the political, a very dangerous feature when inspired and conducted, by Government control. The coal trade was of necessity very speculative, and sellers were often forced to accept onerous conditions oi sale in respect of payment, guarantees of quality, etc. Witness could not think that a Government Department would readily lend itself to such con- ditions. without which it could not pos- sibly secure or maintain valu- able markets built up by pri- vate enterprise, willing to shoulder such responsibilities. Govern- ment service did not tend to mould its servants on competitive linos, and he feared the system would break down badly under world-wide competition, with the inevitable loss of hard-won markets, and consequent irregular work in the mines and unemployment of miners and attached labour in the coal shipping ill-j dustry. MR. ANDREWS' CRQSS- EXAMINATION. Closely cross-examined by Sir Leo C. Money on the subject of German and American competition, Sir Leo suggesting that the Ileace terms for Germany would put her out of competition for at least ten or fifteen years, Mr. Andrews replied at length. He said that following historical pre- cedent in regard to the wonderful re- oovcry of France following the Franco- German war of 1870, he said he hrmly be- lieved that Germany would recover very much faster than most people believed, as during the war she had developed her coal resources to a remarkable degree, and that she would most certainly use these resources to re-establish her export trade., recover her lost credits, and stabilise her exchanges. AMERICAN COMPETITION. As to America, whilst we did not fear American competition prior to the -Ilzr, the position had entirely altered. During the live years war America had enor- mously increased her coal production, and ?-?iuw possessed an enormous .surplu over and above her own requirements. In addi- tion to this s he had made enormous strides in her shipbuilding programme, and now possessed one of the finest mercantile fleets in the world, and for which, together with her surplus coal output, she must find employment. She had already captured the South American trade, and was making strenu- ous efforts to enter the European trade. Whilst America's goographical position naturally put her to a disadvantage in re- I gard to freight, yet she could produce her ooal at a price mifficiently low to bridge over that geographical difference, thus permitting her to compete with our own ooals for the European markets. "R Ie E-CUTTI N G. Mr. Andrews was also questioned by Sir Leo Money on the point of price-cutting [for the world's markets being made frOln1 ?it& commercial aspect into & PoAtieul one

THE PLAINT OF THE BOYS. A deputation of Secondary School Boys visited us yesterday, for the purpose of getting the above drawing reproduced! It is meant as a gentle hint that home lessons might be moderated a good deal—some of the lads averred that they took up hours of the evening—in order that proper attention might be given to recreation.

ASQUITH AND FRENCH I I Hot Attack. I LONDON, Tuesday. Mr. Asqui' b, speaking at the Connaught Rooms to-day, said they had now just come to the end of a journalistic serial, in which the late Commander-in-Chief had made attacks and cast aspersions on the living and the dead. He could not recall I any parallel for this ill-advised literary adventure. DARKEST OF DARK SPOTS." I Ireland was to-day the darkest of dark I spots on the map, not only of Great I Britain, but of the world. He should have thought that at! such a time* the Viceroy of Ireland would have been more absorbed in the overwhelming responsibilities of his office, and that he would have found a better occupation for his energies than by fill- ing columns of the daily press with a nar- rative he did not hesitate to characterise as being incomplete and partial. ACCESS TO CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS. Mr. Asquith said that Ifcrd French had obtained access to official and confidential documents to bring up a wise against those whose lips were closed, in some in- stances by death, and others by restraint. I A GROUNDLESS CHARGE. I Complete disclosure of all the facts was the one thing needed for the absolute vindication of the suggested supineness of the Government. Lord French had charged the Govern- ment with callousness during the first year of the war in failing to supply suf- ficient arms and ammunition. He was going to show that' that charge had no foundation, and no one knew better than the Ulan who made it that it bad no foun- dation. Lord French's reference to Lord Kitchener's visit to France was a travesty of the real facts, as would he proved by documents shortly to be given to the world. I CABINET'S CONSTERNATION. I Before Lord Kitchener's visit to Paris Lord French's movements had tilled the Cabinet with consternation, becasue the intended movement of Lord French would, in their judgment, have had the effect of leaving the Anies in the lurch in the moment of their extrpme need. That consternation was shared by the I I French Government. I THE SUPPLY OF MUNITIONS. I Between September, 191*4, and MarÙ, 1915, while the forces in the tield had in- creased between four and five-fold, the supply of munitions had multiplied by at least 19. « I HIGH EXPLOSIVES. 1 There is no record in the War Office of any demand from Lord French for high oxplosives while he was the Govern- ment's chief military adviser. The War Office considered the use of high-explosive shells in September, 1914; in November General Headquarters in France, after experiments, asked for 50 per cent. high explosive and 50 per cent. shrapnel; but a week later suggested only 25 per cent, of high explosive. The contractors were admittedly ter- ribly behind, and by May 15, 1915, only 52,000 high explosive 18-pounder shells, instead of 481.000 promised, had been de- livered, but by straining every nerve the Government obtained an enormous supply of artillery ammunition. I NEWCASTLE SPEECH. I Lord Kitchener wrote on April 14, 1915, a few days before the Newcastle speech, French told me I could let you know that v. ith the present supply of ammunition he will have as much as his troops will be able to use for the next forward move- ment." On May 23, 1915. Lord French wrote:— No General in the field has ever been helped in a difficult task by the lifact of his Government as I have boon supported. and strengthened by your unfailing sym- pathy and encouragement." LORD FRENCH'S LETTER. I With regard to the letter from lorcl French to Mr. Asquith, dated May 20, 1915, quoted by Mr. Asquith at the end of his speech yesterday (the Times" enys), we understand that early in 1915 Lord French received an official order from Lord Kit- chener instructing him that all his com- munications to the Prime Minister must be made through the Secretary of State for War. For this reason Lord French's com- plaints about munitions were always ad- dressed to Lord Kitohener, and at the period in question he considered that Lord Kitchener was to blame for keeping them to himself. This accounts for the purely personal character of the letter of May 20, 1915.

I GORSEINON WEDDING. I A pretty wedding took place at Ebenezer Church, Gorseinon, on Tues- day, the contracting parties being Mr. George Lewis Bassett, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. David Bassett, motor garagef, and Miss K. Davies, youngest daughter of Mrs. M. Davies, 65, High-street. The best man was Mr. David Bassett, brother of the bridegroom while the Misses Lottie and Blanche Bassett acted as bridesmaids. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. John Simon Davies, Bridgend. The officiating clergymen were the Revs. D. H. Thomas (Ebenezer) and Mr. J. Jones (Seion). The happy cotiple,niotored to Tenby for the honeymoon. There were many beautiful presents.

I SWANSEA COLLEGE. University Staff to be Selected. At Tuesday's meeting of Swa, *nsen Technical College Sub-Committee a very pleasing and important announcement was made by the Town CLerk, who stated that a letter had been received from the Privy Council whih in effect meant the recognition of the college as a constituent college of the University of Wales. The letter asked for certain small modi- fications and alterations, and added that there should be better provision for women, who should be given equal facili- ties with men in the college. The Privy Council added that the i .o- moters should forthwith select the nrin- cipal and heads of departments. With, regard to the scheme as a whole their lordships raise no objection to it, provided that the authority submit satis- factory proposals for the development of the Training College and Grammar School. The charter, in its ultimate form, will be made to depend on a pledge being given by the promoters to follow as far as may be the advice of the special com- mittee. The Director of Education (Mr. T. J. Rees, B.A.), suggested that the various points raised in the letter should be re- ferred to the Drafting Sub-Committee, the sub-committee which, having drafted the petition for a Charter, understood all that was referred to.—This was done.

SWANSEA VETERAN. Prince of Wales Hopes to I Meet H i ra. Col.-sergt. George C.

LLANDOVERY HOUSES I Architect to be Appointed to do the Work. A moettng to further consider the I housing problem was held by the Town Council on Tuesday, the Mayor (Mr. Dl. Jcnos) presiding, when it was decided to advcvrV ise for an architect- Mr. W. J. Esmond moved, M,r. Antihonr seconded, and it was carried that in the considered view of this in every eaee whetrc houses can be mads habitable and conformable to health requirements, either by alterations, repairs, or improved veirJlation that this be done, and that this be impressed on the architect. More- over, that he be informed that the num- ber of houses required, ;ncluding the re- placoments of others for those which would have to b? demolished would be approximate"}' from 45 to 50. Different sites were discussed. Messrs. David Jcnos (Upton Hou?e) and J. Nicholas held that there wei-e many peo- ple who could not pay the rent which would be demanded for the new houses. An invitation to the Mayor and Cor- poration to attend a drumhead service on the old Castle Grounds on Whit-Sun- day, in connection with the D.S. and S. FederaUioai, was accepted. I
