SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1894.
SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1894. A NATIONAL CONVENTION. For some weeks we have been advising the Welsh members to summon a National Con- vention or Conference to discuss the situation, and to decide upon a future course of policy. We are glad to see that the North Waloi Liberal Federation resolved yesterday to approach the South Wales Liberal Federation on the subject, and, if tho South Wales organ- isation refuses to co-operate, then it was decided that the North Wales Federation should take steps on its own account to bring together such a conference. A Conference is exactly what is wanted. Public meetings are all very well in their way, and the meetings at Bangor and Carnarvon and Rhyl have already done an immense amount of good. They have shown that the four revolters are not afraid of their constituents, and that they have at least the courage of their opinions. The advantage, however, is not as great as we might wish. The English press in England has been compelled to look facts in the face, and to realise the strength and intensity of the feeling for Disestablishment in Wales. But we want to unite all Wales, and that can only be done in a National Conference. The opponents of the stalwarts themselves acknowledge the need of a Convention. The South Wales Daily News publishes, almost daily, reports of interviews with the public men of South Wales on the subject of the revolt," though we may feel assured that the reports would be unconsciously coloured by the prejudices of the journal. But the very r fact that the leading opponent of the four revolters" should have felt it necessary to try and discover views of prominent Liberal* in.South Wales is, a strong argument in favour ofconference* where the views of jlll our leading men might be expressed. A hostile journal can pick its men to suit ita owa purposes. The men who are ,opposed to itspolicy might be ignored, or their, views mÎg.be toned down, while the men who -are of the,4 same way of thinking might be ven undue prominence in its columns. It is certain, too, that the South Wales Daily News has, used its position not so much for the jpurpose of gathering bona -fide opinions-of prominent Welsh politicians as for the purpose of creating a feeling in South I Wales of hostility to the action of the four members. There are always many worthy people who are ready to side with the biggest battalions; the Cardiff organ is doing its utmost to show that it is supported by the majority of Liberals in South Wales; and unless some speedy action is taken, it will succeed in increasing the number of its adhoroi:t-i. Th.) columns of the Cardiff journal itself bvar eloquent witness of Iho r.cod of imme- diate action. Mr. Alfred Thomae has weakly allowed himself to bo seduced by Major JUlld, and tho Cardiff organ ha3 immediately undertaken the task of proving tliat Mr. Alfred Thomas is voicing' the wishes of hij constituents. Day af: r day its Pontypridd correspondent has been sending repo t3 of interviews with the" leadcrs" of Pontypridd, all cf whom seem to be in favour of Mr. Alfred Thomas's astion. Only one inter- view favourable to the action of the four members has been published in the S. JV. Daily SPies. and that came from Carmarthen. We are led therefore to believe that all South Wales, practically is solidly opposed to thu f :ur revolters. And yet the correspondence columns of tho Cardiff organ prove that the great mass of Liberal opinion is strongly in favour of the independent party. "If Messrs. George, Thomas, Edwards, and Lowi; writes T Mr. T. M. Williams, one of the most prominent of the younger Liberals of Pouif pridd, will visit Pontypridd they may expect a voiy warm welcome, notwithstanding tho views the Daily News publishes as emanating from tho stalwart.The Rev. H. Mon Evans writes in a similar strain from Porth. In fact, there are abundant evidences that there is a very vigorous feeling of sympathy with the revol- ters among the great body of Welshmen, but for want of a propor opportunity this feeling has not had as yet articuiata utterance. It is very significant that those members who condemn the Welsh revolters have not dared to put their constituents' feelings to the test. The four revolters are challenging their con- stituents to say whether they agree with them or not. Not a single one of their opponents dares to follow suit. Mr. Arthur Williams for instance, visited Barry the other day, but, though Mr. Meggitt, an Englishman who cannot claim to represent or understand Welsh feeling, denounced tho action of the four members at Mr. Williams's meeting, Mr. Wil- liams himself not only refrained from challenging a vote but never even referred to the matter at all. The same thing occurred again last night at a public meeting at Whit- church, where Mr. J. H. Jones criticised the action of the four members. Mr. Arthur Williams, however, never alluded to the sub- ject and shirked the supreme test of moving a resolution. In the same way Major Jones and Mr. Alfred Thomas have never attempted to discover tho wishes and opinions of their constituents. We believe, also, that Mr. Randell, Mr. H ubert Roberts, and others are ready to join the four "independents,' and that they would speak out at a National Convention. Will it be believed that Cardi- ganshire, whose farmers are risking fines and imprisonment for tho sake of hurrying on Dis- establishment, will oppose Messrs. Lloyd George, D. A. Thomas, Frank Edwards, and Herbert Lewis ? Yet they are represented by a gentleman who might bo a London member for all the help he gives to the Welsh National Party. Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire, and Merionethshire—the three most Welsh of all the counties of Wales—have not had a chance to speak out, and it would almost seem as if they were opposed to independent action. Let the opportunity, however, be given them, and to the other Welsh constituencies, and they will speak out with no uncertain voice.
NOTES ON NEWS. .
NOTES ON NEWS. The rumours and speeu- THE L. AND .w. lations concerning the DIRECTORS. possible extension of the London and North-Western Railway to the Munibl swill receive renewed vigour when it becomes known that four of the directors of the Company—apparently a com- mittee—visited the Mumbles yesterday (Friday), remained at Langland Hotel last night, and left the Mumbles Road Station by special train this morning. The visit bears considerable significance, in consequence of the recent visit of the whole body of the directors. At the present time it is probable that any enquiri a as to the meaning of these pro-'eeJiiigs would be answered evasively, if not with a blank denial that they portend any- thing; but no deubt local businessmen will attach due importance to the fact that these very welcome railway magna cs have been casting their eyes, under the guidance of responsible officials, over the cliffs and deep water at Oystermouth, where piers and docks and ra'lway sidings aud such things could Le constructed by a corporation possessing plenty of funds. I At the conclu £ &$g session ODDFELiovrr of the Oddfellows'Annual A.M.C. Movable Committee lait night at Northampton, the claims of Swansea to be the meeting-plac" for next year's conference were endorsed by an overwhelm- ing number of the delegates, the voting being 321 for Swansea and 132 for her rival, Bristol. The delegates from local lodges arc to be heartily con- gratulated on their success against such an influ- ential opponen'. Now, a greater work lies before them. They have to justify their promises and the confidence reposed in them by the A.M.C. The task is no light one, or easy to carry cut. For the next twelve months tkey and their colleagues will have to spare no effort that can in any way soeure the success which the event demands. We have every reason to believe that the Oddfel- lows of the Swansea District (M.U.) will rise to the occasion, and that they will be heartily sup- ported and encouraged by the leading residents and the tradesmen of the town, as well as by the other friendly and trade societies, who have, in- deed, already promised their active assistance. A guarantee fund of upwards of £200 has been formed by the lodges, and will be supplemented by subscriptions. To do the thing in becoming style at least £1,00) will be required. It may be in- teresting to our readers to know that the 600 delegates who attend the A.M.C. remain a week at their duties, and are entertained at a grand ban- quet the Mayor usually gives them a reception; and a monstre fete is held, generally in some nobleman's park, at which 20,000 or 30,000 persons are present. We venture to hope tnat Lord Swansea may be induced to throw open Singleton Park for the fete; and that a Chief Magistrate wha is heartily in sympathy with the work of friendly societies will be found occupying the mayoral chair, and giving to the heads of the greatest friendly society in the world the welcome to which their position entitles them. Councillor James Jones, the patron of the Loyal James Jones (Cmu- bwrla) Lodge, will be the Provincial Grand] Master at the time of the Conference^ and to hIm i will fall the duty of leading the local Oddfellows at that important and critical period. Much will depend upon his energy and foresight, and upen the preparations made under his direction; but we feel sure that he, like all concerned, will not be found wanting.
