Welsh- men, he ventured to say, aimed at a great deal more than the preservation of annient customs. He hoped their nationalism meant the vigorous development of the material and moral re- sources of the whole people and a keener inter- est in the social and economic problems which awaited solution in the Principality. it? m Pr i n(,t i r?.tl it,v. A feature of the proceedings was the M- nouncement of the quickening interest in La- bour that is manifesting itself amongst the agricultural labourers of North Wales, in con- nection with whom no fewer than 30 trades union branches have. now been ootablished in the area.
