THE MOTIVE OF INDUSTRY.
THE MOTIVE OF INDUSTRY. Sir Leslie Stephen used to point out that it was not so much the love of gain that prompted men to work and save money as the fear of hunger. One does not usually sweep a street crossing, dig coal in the dark- ness and gloom of the under-world, or endure the monotony of standing by a loom all day out of choice but of necessity. People have to do these things or starve. We have heard of Pembrokeshire colliers who have worked in- the mines since they were eight or nine years old declare that it they had their time over again colliers they would be. But they know that their choice would be limited, and having regard to the length of hours now worked and the rate of pay they think a collier's life will compare favourably with that of any other. And so it does. But we are thinking now of the motive of industry, and, it appears to us that the Victorian economists had good sense and soupd logic on their side. Much of the work of the world is unPleast. some of it is positively repulsive. E n in the pleasant" occupations, as they are called, there is much more drudgery than many people think- In our charm of the finished picture we forget the laboriousness of detail. It is said that the will to work has been undermined by the war, that the four or five years of unsettled life which our soldiers led has unfitted them for the monotony of civil routine. There are two sides to this. The hardships which so many men had to un- dergo in France, Eygpt, and Mesopotamia made them not only anxious but eager to return to their civil life, and they look back upon their period of service as they do upon I a nightmare. When a French Socialist declares that the returned soldiers have lost irrevocably the habit and spirit of industrial work, and that Europe will relapse into the state of the Middle Ages, for she no longer has the energy to provide more than the mere necessaries of life," we are half inclined to think that the wish is father to the thought. If there is laxity in produc- tion, we hardly think that the returned soldier is more to blame (or to be praised, according to the point of view) than the man who was protected by reason of his occupation or his age or some physical disa- bility. The lack of energy which is a feature of European civilisation to-day prob. ably springs from years of under-feeding. Food gives energy, "and it is natural that man should wish to expend his energy in some way or other. The question arises whether men and I women will work best under a system of private enterprise or under complete State control. It is amusing to find the Prime Minister, who has done more than any other living Statesman to fasten upon the nation bureaucratic- control, confront the I country with the choice between him and j Bolshevism-between private enterprise and the nationalisation of all means of pro- duction and distribution. Now Govern- ment control, as we* have experienced it, has been so incompetent that the nation would overwhelmingly declare in favour of its abolition. There are some things, like mines and railways, where public ownership is manifestly the right thing. The same » applies to gas and water undertakings. But partial control appears to be worse JI than no control at all. Mr Lloyd George, who prides himself in his skill in political strategy, evidently means to profit by the general disgust which his own experiments in some bad forms of State control have excited. Every community has the instinct for self-preservation, and if the will to work has been broken in Central Europe we do not think that can be attributed to soldier- ing so much as to the blockade. But, assuming that the Capitalist system is doomed, the world will stfll be confronted with the choice of work or dying of hunger. It is said that the,old system no longer secures production as it once did. That may be true..Some favour Co-operation, some State Socialism on the Guild pattern. But whatever changes are wrought should be gradual. Violent upheavals only dis- organise the whole system of industry. Pursuing the inquiry we may ask, If people will not produce for private profit will they do better work for the community ? Ex- perience teachers us to be sceptical on this point, But is it possible to infuse into society a new conception of the dignity of work of unpleasant work? Ulysses built his own house and carved his own bed, and we are told that the young Prine cess of Phoeacia, the loveliest and most graceful of Homer's women, drove the clothes cart and washed linen. And Thomas Hardy has pictured for us the ideal woman as one who works with her hands as well as her head. But as the world is not composed of ideal men and ideal women, supposing private profit is eliminated, will people give of their best to the community or shall we relapse into economic exhaustion and decay? Is the appeal to pride, to honour, and public spirit as strong as the appeal to private gain. As the world is now constituted, we know that it is not, because never before was the worship of wealth so real as it is to-day.
NOTES BY THE WAY. I
NOTES BY THE WAY. A report has been prepared by Lord Colwyn's Committee on utilising the RoyAl Dockyards for the construction of merchant shipping. Although this is a confidential document, Par- liamentasy representatives of Dockyard con- stituencies, who appear to know the purport of the report, express themselves satisfied that the plants of the various dockyards will be used to the fullest extent for the building and repair of merchant shipping; This should be sufficient to convince the Pembroke Town Council that they may safely proceed with their housing scheme. Following the enthusiastic meeting held last week at Haverfordwest, the re-building of the County Hospital as a Pembrokeshire war memo- rial may now be regarded as an accomplished fact. After the lead given, the raising of the £8,000 necessary to secure the conditional grant of F.12,000 offered by the Red Cross Society can be accomplished with very little effort. But there is much more than this to be done. The hospital having been built and equipped, the Board of Management will be faced with a heavy annual maintenance charge. For one thing, it is proposed to engage the services of a house surgeon. An additional endowment fund of E10,000--a scheme well within the financial means of the county- would solve all the difficulties. To carry this through will mean a great deal of organising skill. An appeal should be made to every parish, and between now and next June there should be a campaign modelled on electioneer- ing methods. A little hustling would do no harm. Last week's meeting should be fol- lowed up by energetic measures. The local Press, we are sure, will render every help. The pity is that some influential people in the county are holding aloof from the scheme. With all the financial commitments of the Gov- ernment, if we are to wait for the State to build and maintain hospitals every man who took part in the great war will long since have gone the way of all flesh. Besides, we are by no means convinced that State hospitals would be a good thing. It would mean the drying up of all the springs of charity. Bitter complaints have been made by the Haverfordwest public of the poor jand intermittent gas supply of the past fortnight or three weeks. Those who are dependent on Corporation gas for power purposes have been hit hard since last December. Last week partly owing to a breakdown at the Gas Works we were unable to print a portion of our issue until Thursday morning, and our apologies are due to those who were a day late receiving the "Telegraph. We are sorry for Mr Davies, the gas manager, who has a thankless task. He has a plant which ought to have been scrapped years ago, and he has to contend with all the drawbacks and inconveniences of incompetent Government control. Part of the mischief would have been avoided had the Town Council re-constructed the worlm' years ago instead of borrowing money to build a new gasometer. However, we must make the best of the present situation. It is comforting to be assured by the gas manager that, with the improved quality of coal now available, we are not likely to have any further gats trouble this winter. The Haverfordwest Municipal Electric Light- ing Scheme having been held up in view of the national scheme now before Parliament, the question arises whether the Town Council should come to terms with Mr Williams of Narberth, to enable that gentleman to carry out a private scheme. The position is that half the business houses in the town are al- ready supplied by Mr Williams with electric light, and whether the Town Council is justi- fied by a mere technicality in preventing the other half from obtaining similar facilities. Some Town Councillors, strangely enough, who have availed themSelves of this private supply, have expressed opposition to any. ex- tension of these facilities. There is now certainly no prospect of a municipal scheme being carried out in Haverfordwest, ffld we should be sorry to believe that anyone could be GO foolish as to think so. Besides, apart from electric light, the Town Council, with an expensive housing scheme and the reconstruc- tion of the Gas Works, will have their hands full for many years to come. Let them con- centrate their energien giving the public an efficient gas service. It must be electric light or gas. They will never manage both. The Food Controller and the Director of Milk Supplies are having a rough time over the excessive price of milk. The latter gentle- man, who seems to be the evil genius, of the Food Ministry, was turned out of a London meeting the other day. -The feeling aroused by the public is intense. There has been a big op in the coimunption of milk locally. Children, mothers, and expectant mothers are being deprived of a valuable food. Local authorities -will not put into operation the powers *they possess for supplying cheap milk to the poor, because they do not see why they should pay a subsidy from the rates to farmers, who are much better off than the average town ratepayer. But for the stupidity of the Gov- ernment in paying a subsidy to the manufacturers of home cheese, the position if left to the operation of the law of supply and demand, would have righted itself long ago. At present, curiously enough, the Haverfordwest Corporation are paying a higher price for milk than are Messrs Cox, and retailing it at Id per quart beyond the price charged by private retailers. Of course, there is no election in December, and so we had better close up the milk depot until next autumn: If there were municipal elec- tions every six months there would be a chance of getting something done in Haverfordwest.. If ever a lady deserved public recognition it is Miss Elizabeth Cooper, O.B.E., whose removal from Milford Haven is an irreparable loss to that town. For over 20 years Miss Cooper had laboured zealously on behalf of the fisher folk of that port, and well deserves the title of "The angel of the sea" bestowed on her. It is satisfactory to know that such a work of merey is fully appreciatecj by the fishermen of Milford Haven. ———— —— —————

ITRAGIC DEATH OF MILFORD YOUNG…
I TRAGIC DEATH OF MILFORD YOUNG LADY. A shock was received on Thursday evening by the relatives of Miss Rose Newing, Milford Haven, when news was received that she had been knocked down by a s'eam lorry and killed: Particulara of the tragic affair came to light at the inqaest, which was held at Gorseinon on Satur- day. The facta, as far as we can learn, are RS follows: On Thursday afternoon Miss Newing, who was housemaid at Penlligaer, the residence of Sir John T. D. Llewellyn Iiirt., went ont for a walk in the direction of Gorseinon. On the corner of the cross roads not far from the Mansion, she met a lady friend and stopped to ppeak to her, and afterwards proceeded on her journey. Whilst in the middle of the road, which was the main road from Swansea to Pontardu!aif>, she was knocked down by a ten ton nteam lorry and killed instantaneously. Miss Newing unfortunately suffered from deafness, and could not hear the approach of the vehicle. Dr. Mitchell ,and his assistant were promptly in attendance, hut unfortunately a'l human aid was useless. The body was brought to Milford Haven by motor on Saturday evening. Miss Newing who is well-known at Milford Haven, is the third daughter of Mr. G. E. Newing of Dartmouth Street and was 30 years of age. She was highly respected both here and in the district where sh had resided and intense symp\thy is felt for Mr. Newing and family ill this the sad circumstances of their bereavement. The funeral takes place to-day.

Haverfordwest Lighting Problem.
Haverfordwest Lighting Problem. GETTING FROM BAD TO WORSE. The Haverfordwest lighting question is getting from bad to worse. As Christ- mas approaches it looks as if we should have a repetition this year of the dimly- | lighted shops and murky streets which made the last festive season such a gloomy affair.. In 1he lower parts of the town houses and shops have to resort to lamps and candles for illumination. One trades- man bitterly complains that iio,one will enter his shop after 4-.30 p.m., as the gas light is not sufficient for the necessary inspection of the goods. It is time the Town Council took the matter seriously. They have trifled with it long enough. They will neither give the public an efficient lighting scheme themselves, nor allow other people to do so. The public temper is rising, and 'will not tolerate any refusal to grant Mr. Williams, of Narberth, the necessary facilities for lighting those business premises which are at present dependent on Corporation gas. We are glad to see that the Haver- fordwest Chamber of Commerce are taking the matter up, and for the sake of the commercial prosperity of the town and the convenience of tradesmen, it is hoped that they will press it forward with energy and enthusiasm.
I War Time Habits.
I War Time Habits. INCONVENIENCE OF CLOSING SHOPS AT MID-DAY. It looks as if one war-time habit, and a very bad one, is to become a perman- ency at Haverfordwest, We refer to the closing of grocers' and ironmongers' shops during the mid-day dinner hour. To maintain this custom in peace time is to drive business away from the town. Every day people from the rural dis7 tricts may be seen waiting outside for shops to open. They are often cold and wet, and their feelings at such treatment can better be imagined than described. If such closing were unavoidable, noth- ing further need be said. But it is not. It is easy 80 to arrange the dinner inter-, val that shops can be kept open all day. Questioned on the matter, one Haver- fordwest tradesman pleaded that owing to the high wages paid, staffs were still below normal, and that it was difficult to arrange to keep open during the dinner hour. Other business houses, however, besides grocers and ironmongers, have had to get along with depleted staffs, and they have always managed to keep open..And it can be done by ail if they try it is the effort that is lacking.
NEYLANHEROES._____j
NEYLANHEROES. ENTHUSIASTIC "WELCOME HOME." 250 MEN ENTERTAINED. The welcome home to the Neyland "boys," which was organised and successfully carried out by the local heroes' committee, took place iit the National School on Friday last. The boys, to the large number of 250, assembled at the South Wales Hotel, and accompanied by the D;S. and S. band from Pembroke Dock marched four deep through the town, which was brilliantly beflagged and illuminated, everybody trying to show the boys what they thought of them. When they arrived at the school they were marshalled to their placfes where their dinners were ready-three long tables reaching the length of the school, all beautifully decorated, 'and the silver, etc., together with the glass and flowers, made a glorious show. It is safe to say that never in the history of Neyland have so many sat down side by side at any meal. First, there were meat and vegetables, after which the guests were served with trifle, cakes and mince pief;, there was fruit in plenty, and cigarettes and tobacco galore; plenty of tea, coffee, and lemonade; and the crackers were going off all along like a roll of musketry. After the supper a concert took plac*. Talk about the artistes! Why it was a job to stop the boys singing. When a request was made for one volunteer twenty wanted to sing, but this is how it eventually worked out:—Song, Miss Gladys Rogers; song, A.B. Mackeen, R.N. song, Pte. Tom Jones, S.W.B.; song, Miss Gwyther; song, A:B. Mason, R.N.; song, Pte. Jenkins, Canada; song, Pte. Swales, G.W.R.; sopg, Miss Gwyther; song, Larry Whitford, minesweeper; song, Pte. Tim Mac- keen, Welsh; song, A.B. Evans, minesweeper; song, A.B. Jones, minesweeper; song, Pte. Phillips. Welsh; song, Sergt. Coski, K.O.Y.L.I. Between the songs the following toasts were taken:—"The King, by Mr Harries; "The Army and Navy," by Mr F. W. P. Hitchings; "The Women Workers, Nurses, etc. Mr S. Williams; "Our Silent Heroes," by Mr T. D. Harries. These were responded to by Messrs Baker, James, and Mrs Phillips and Mrs Davies. The whole function proved most successful, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The best thanks are due to the chairman and committee of the local heroes' committee, and a special word of praise must be given to the ladies' committee who put in such a lot of valuable time and work, and when we say that the- majority of the committee, although there was plenty to eat, didn't have a mouthful until after twelve o'clock, our readers can tell how energetic they were, and how they gave up all thoughts of themselves in order that the boys might have a good time. Great praise is also due to the secretary Mf Samuel Davie3, and his wife for the way they worked. They issued over 350 invitation cards, and over 250 turned up, the other boys being away. We should like to remark also "that over 350 boys were the recipients of presents. On the night of the "welcome home" there were 35 presented, including one Croix de Guerre and 3 Military Medal's. Out of 350 men who went from Neyland there were only 26 sent by the Tribunal, the remainder were all volunteers. Considering that over 120 were minesweepers, they were not looking for soft jobs. The presentations were made by Mrs G. E. Rob- erts, th £ chairman, of the ladies' committee. r f ——————

Comrades of the Great War.
Comrades of the Great War. I HAVERFORDWEST BRANCH. The Committee were greatly disappointed by the poor attendance at last Saturday's meeting. They are naturaliy flattered by ii: possible implification of blind confidence in their decisions, but wish to make it clear that the club project is one which can be sealed only by a full general meeting, and which will not be pursued unless the fullest support of the whole of the members is manifested. An adjourned general meeting is now called for next Saturday at 8 p.m. at Ebenezer School- room, when it is hoped that something ap- proaching the full membership will be present. There will be nothing in the nature of a whip- round at the meeting, and the attendance of the impecunious is as much desired as that of the plutocratic Comrades. In order to save the necessity for another general meeting in January, the ,officials and committee for 1920 will be elected on Saturday next. In the meantime we appeal for donations, or rather promises of donations, for the "club. These are asked with a view to the purchase of premises, as it has proved impossible to get a suitable building otherwise than by buying outright. If the scheme is not carried through, the promises will be cancelled; but it will be of material assistance to have by Saturday night some idea of the extent to which suport will be forthcoming. We, therefore, ask that intending donors will as soon as possible in- form the Mayor, the Town Clerk, any of the banks, or our own secretary, of the amounts they are prepared to promise. Donations will be acknowledged in due course in the local press. The Comrades' Dancing Class started work yesterday evening in St. Martin's Hall, when about forty were present, and thoroughly en- joyed themselves. The Dancing Committee regret that it was impossible for them to announce the opening date in the last "Tele- graph," as the final arrangements were com- pleted only towards the end of the Week. They are grateful to the churchwardens for the use of the hall at a very low charge, and hope now to continue the good work weekly at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. Next Saturday's football fixture is an im- portant league match at home, when the visitors are Milford Town. The Football Committee are confident that Milford will be given a thoroughly good run for their money. .The selection is as followsG. S. Williams; A. Jones, J. Davies; J. Phillips, W. Thomp- son,. G. Lewis; Jones, A. Thomas, Jefferies, H. Gwyther, E. Griffiths. Reserves J. Ladd, W. Jacks, T. John, F. Noot. Lines- man, S. Watkins. Will any of the above who will be unable to turn out kindly inform Mr Ivor Dixon or Mr Codd without delay? The following are the holiday fixtures:- Boxing Day: St. Mary's (Pembroke) A.F.C. at home. Dec. 27th: St. Davids AF.C., at home. New Year's Day: St. Davids A.F.C., away. The Football Committee also Eope to get home fixtures for Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
ICYMRIC SOCIETY'S SOCIAL.
CYMRIC SOCIETY'S SOCIAL. PRESENTATION TO MR H. E. H. JAMES. Probably the most enjoyable function ever organised by the Cymric Society, which has rather a reputation for the pleasing nature of its social gatherings, was the compti'l"lÜary social and presentation to Mr it. B. H. James B.A., on Friday evening, at the Hill Park Schoolroom. Mr James was one of the foun- ders of this society, and its first president, and the members turned up in strong force to wish him and Mrs James farewell and God- speed: Mr T. Bleddyn presided, and he re- ferred to the object of the meeting, and to the debt the society owed Mr James who had lent it the weight of his official position as well as the zeal and ardour of his personality for Welsh Nationalism. He mentioned that apologies for absence had been received from I the Mayor (Mr. W. G. Rowlands), Mr. Edwin John, Mr. J. Reed Edwards, and Mr. and Mrs John Evans. The first part of the proceedings consisted of refreshments, which the ladies of the Society had arranged in their best style. The programme provided was much appreciated and the items were loudly ap- plauded. Miss Alice Griffiths, L. T.C.M., and Mr Cyril Williams (Gold Medallist), played a pianoforte duet in brilliant fashion. Mrs. Bishop, always a favourite with the Society, contributed a solo in her usual pleasing manner, while she and Mr James James rendered a duet. Mrs. Parsons fully main- tained her reputation with two Welsh songs, and had a cordial reception on he first appear- ance in the Society. Mr. Brinley R. Davies, who is a most promising amateur actor, made a hit with a monologue in character—"An old soldier's reminiscences." The Rev. E. N. Jones sang some topical verses of his own composition which were much enjoyed. The Rev. W. R. Lewis, Mr. G. J. Griffith and the Rev. E. N. Jones also delivered short ad- desses in which they referred to Mr. James's excellent qualities and the'loss the Society would sustain by his departure from the town. Much as they deplored his going they could not but congratulate him heartily on his appointment to the important post of Pro- vincial Director for Wales under the Agricul- tural Organisation Society, and they expressed the fervent wishes of all his friends in hoping that he would enjoy great success in his new sphere, and that he and Mrs James and their family would be very happy in their new sur- roundings in Aberystwyth. The presentation of a handsome and valuable tea tray was made in a few well chosen sen- tences by the chairman. 1\1r James was ac- corded musical honours on rising to reply. He thanked the society very warmly for their kind sentiments and the beautiful present which had come as a great surprise to him. He re- ferred to the activities of the society, and said that the Cymric Society and its offspring, the Celtic Dramatic Society, had quite justified their formation. They had given an impetus to Welsh Nationalism, and had helped the English-speaking section of Pembrokeshire to understand the aims and aspirations of Welsh- men. He said he would always take an in- terest in the society, and hoped to pay them a visit occasionally, and he might be useful in getting them a speaker from Aberystwyth now and then. He again thanked them for their expression of esteem and regard, and said he would always value the present as a reminder of his association with the Haverfordwest Cymric Society. (Applause.)

OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY. SOLVA'S NEW MAGISTRATE. Mr W. H. John, Solva, by his diligent atten- tion to affairs, is rapidly becoming a force. in j Pembrokeshire local government. For years i he has taken an active part in almost every public movement in north-west Pembrokeshire. The sphere of his activities was widened during the war, and since his election to a seat on the County Council, he has become one of the busiest men in the county. Education, war pensions, food control, anti-profiteering-thty are all engrossing themes to Mr John. No one could be more attentive to his public affairs, because Mr John, unlike so many who arc elected on our publio bodies, is painstaking and conscientious to a degree. He is true to his stewardship, and is intent on doing his best for those whom he represents. His winning manner, combined with his sincerity of outlook, has woo him friends wherever he goes. It may safely be said that Mr John has few, if any, enemies. Yet he can be true to principle, as was proved at the last general election. > In the -noble words of Lord Morley, Mr John "uses a grave diligence uncaring for high things. His life is one more reminder of the truth of the old saying that "it is character that counts." -0
