THE PRIME MINISTERsS VISIT. The Prime Miui-t.'r ? never b:mp!.crinhis&pecc''jc?th<mwh? he is thinking i'' pictures, '¿, when he is drawing morals ior the present  l s -?() r t h ?,, 1)rescnt j day irom history. When it was re- ported- that, journcyiug from ?\ea?h ho Maes.\ gwernen HaK on Thurs- ?d?'y.!)?i)nitedat iha pile of ruins | that was once Neath Abbey, it was I a foregone conclusion that this i beautiful plaeo-for it ib still beau- jjJul ev-Mi in decay—would provide him i;h ? theme for (me or other i ot Friday's address. The old home of the Cistercians has inspired many pens. It moved Lewis Mor- ganuwg into testacies. To him Like the sky of the Vale of Hebron is its covering. The vast and hfty ron is like the fcparklmg-'hcavcn on higli. To-day the vast and lofty roof ,s in very truth the sparkling heavens un high, but to the Celt, with the I imagination to le-erfute the past, the Abbey is fa? x??'b than the horrid^ filthy? place, part, bwamp, and part, pool," which was all (iecrge Borrow could see in it when he tramped this wav. And in this week th-- -Abbey has inspired tne Crownei Bard oi the j National. Eisteddiod ,.f Wales, and tile Prime Minister of th- British ) Commonwealth. If the speech dees nothing ebe-and it does far more —let it impress upon our minds the needs of the new age. Tn the hour of restoration that is coming, the hour of restitution and re- paration. do not forget that you owe a debt of restoration to these gentlo val-' leys, to see that the houses constructed there, the workshop?, and tie factorietj, all the buildings set up, are in confor- mity with the beauties Cioci has painted on the eauvas of South Wales. | urds these which every corpora- tion ill South Wales might set up before them as a guile for the com- ing day.?. We have allowed the snÚlillg vales of Glamorgan to b- | come dismal sites of hovels, and un- less wo are careful, :n the building rush t hat will follow the-close ot the war, the same wickedness will be repeated. Can we not regain the reverence lor beauty that ani- mated the Whito Monks who built Neath Abhey ( Call we not bring beauty—which means joy—into the homes of t-ho people'? i The civilisations that had passed over Neath provided the Prime j .Minister with a theme to his liking, j n'l I}" f 1 l' The app lication of t Jt; rnora. to the) present day was striking. Rome bad. come and gone. Normans had come — and had also gone. These were powers based upon couquest, upon! force. And such powers, always; passed away. Conquest, linle% it is the ccn?u?t of the heart and the conquest of th; COll- science, is a conquest that will ter- j ruinate, and rot, and decay. A cntence this for our own times, and with it we will ally another—. j Thkuight who secured a vision of it—the Holy Unlil-was the one who I had turned all selfish purpose out of his heart. And now the victory will be for the Alliance which, bearing out "all greed, yea, even all vengeance, out of its heart, pursues the holy purpose of j establishing right and peace on earth, II wo are not greatly mistaken, the speech, will lie remembered in history for this passage, which j may be commended to the fire- eaters as a model which they may with profit take. This morning's news is another i brilliant white shaft of 1:ght into the tunnel! Seventeen, thousand pri- soners and between 200 and 300 j guns"—the tale etlls itself. We are still in the tumid but if we may be permitted to carry on the metaphor used by the Prime Mini- ster, another source of. light illumi-! nates our way—the gr*y light coin- ing in at the end ot the tunnel to wliieh we are travelbng. As Mr. j Spender eaya in the Westminster Gazette," the enemy has now to gc to meet cur blows instead of our going to meet his. He now has the problem which, a few weeks ago v.- e found so baffling, of divining our III- tentions and preparing againd j surrpise attacks on unexpected parts of his line. Having drawn him into the vortex of the Maine salient, we are able to hold him there and, strike forcibly to the north. There may be reactions and counter-attacks, and wj are not rash enough to say that the enemy has lo&t all power of picking up the initiative on some part of our line, but with the gre:it reserves that are behind us and the inevitable wan, ing of man-power on his side, we are well justified in believing that the moment of greatest stress bas passed, and that we thall now go on from strength to stlength." Sir Frederick Maurice empha- sises to-day' the fact that Sir Douglas Haig's blow is very differ- ent in its nature frcm Marshal Foch's. The latter att,acked the Germans when they were deeply committed, and so u-iralysed their communications by b.is first ad- vance that it was impossible for them to develop an organised counter-attack. The^ is' no para- llel to this in the- present batle, he points out, and Prints Rupprecht has considerable re^rves at no great distance, Jt would therefore be too much to expect: that the fin-t two progress oould be con- tinued at the same rate, and it would be no surprise if the enemy made a d'?sppr?te ef? srt t'? retrieve his positicn south of the S?mmc, -b-r? b' i-? at pi'c&?nt deeply com- pi
