NOTES OF 1HE DAY
NOTES OF 1HE DAY From our London Correspondent. "THE .GOVERNMENT. THE absence of ordinary Cabinet T HE'Govei-nir.ent in this country is -having a very detrimental effect on home affairs. There was much to be said during the war for a. W ar Cabinet, but after the armistice a Cabinet for home affairs should have been constituted. This was the more necessary because some of the .principal members of the Government iiad to deioto iic,,irly all their attention and most of their time to the Peace Confer- •enceMn Paris. Owing to there being no real Cabinet at home every Minister goes his own gait; there is no general policy; and the Government is like a rudderless vessel on an uncharted sea J .A POLiCY OF. DRifT. I A POLICY OF DRtFT. i ONE of the results of this happy-go- lucky metLod. was revealed in strik- ing fashion this week in a debate in the House of Commons on unemployment. Over one million persons in the United Kingdom.are now drawing unemployment allowances. Of these no fewer than 408,000 are demobilized soldiers and sailors..The country that, according to j .Mr. Lloyd George, is to be "made fit for heroes to live in," can only offer the cold pittance of out-of-work pay to the war veterans .who have come back wearing the laurels of victory ifter unexampled de- votion and unequalled achievements. It: .is no doubt an impressive fact that we j have been able to re-absorh into industry 81 per cent. of the soldiers demobilized since the armistice; but while in some resepcts that is very gratifying it is cold comfort for men who" cannot get work, Yet nothing is done for these men by the •Government. The speech of the Minister ,of Labour, Sir Robert Home, proved that the Government has absolutely no policy; .of any kind in regard to this vitally im- portant matter. Though the grim fact "that 408,000 cx-scldiers are out of work stare3 it in the Jaee, the Government drfts on amlessly, hopng like Mr. Micawber that something will turn up. It is a pitiful exhibition of impotence in 'face of an unparalleled situation. Can we wonder that bitterness fills the heart <of the ex-soldier at this indifference to his lot on the part of the State which lio has -helped by his valour to save. POSITION IN RL(SSIA. ) II MR. CHURCHILL has at last blurted j I out the truth. The British Govern- TOent is now assuredly at war with the Bolshevists. All camouflage is gone and ■we "are face to f ac-c-ith!the naked reality. The 'Russian situation was undeniably a very perplexing and embarrassing one. But it has long been a guiding principle -of British policy that foreigners have no Titl,4 to interfere in the internal- affairs of another eountry. History as strewn *'ith examples of the tragic results of i snch intervention. "Leave the Russians alone to work out their own dest-inies. Why should we interfere ? "—That is the view of the average man in this country, and it is u sound a-id View. Mr I Churchill "has glimmerings ofwlsdom with all liis gasconading. He spoke on Thurs- day in his florid way of the "antagonistic renctions," "likely to be created by the preseneti in Russia of foreign troops; and all the time there is a British force in north Russia, fighting the Bolshevists j The Govornm*?ist policy is a strange blend of contra.dictory elements. "Russia;" says Mr. Chmt-hill, "must be saved 'by the Russians"; hut there are 50,000 British soldiers feased on Archangel and Murmansk. We are told that it is not rour Government's intemion to interfere .¿th the internal affairs of Russia; yet it has been providing arias, material and clothing to the a utia-B o 1 sh cr i s t forces. A,-QRAVE STEP. ITT ;')pers that Ad?ural Roltchak has j hivs given an assurance '? the Pans Conference that if and -when the tyranny of Lenin and Trotsky is overthrown, he I will at once take steps to convoke a con- stituent assembly, and he guarantees that ¡ the ?- Russia will he a genuinely I dcmoeTaHc State. Appaænt1y it )s these assurances Qiat have persuaded the British Government and its ftIHea to re- cognize the K/oltchak provisional regime. It is a grave step} it may be justified by I events; it may not he. Bolshevism is not dead yet; and that amorphous thing may he re-vitalised by the rally of thje Western GoverntiifcZits to Koltchak's flide. Who will dare prophesy what may happon with a people so emotional and incalculable as the Rtwsinns P Bolshev- ism is a foul and an ûcnrc thing; but if the Russian people want to worship at its s h r i no what is tj ) its shrino what is th&t to us.P lvbv not leave them alone ? > ¡- L
Local Pastorate ! I
Local Pastorate I AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE. j (From a Correspondent) I was pleased to see your announce- ment that the Rev. John Owen J one; ("Hyfreithon"), Cwmavon, had accepted tho unanimous invitation to become the new pastor of the Chuch at Capel New- ydd- It is a pleasing reminder to the older inhabitants of the town that this is the second occasion within the last 50 veal's of its history that the little village I of Cwmavon should have been selected and honoured by its larger sister 'village' of Llanelly, to furnish another of her pro- minent churches with a new pastor, and upon both occasions the two ministers selected were North Walians. For the benefit of the present genera- lion of the inhabitants of Llanelly may I he allowed to mention briefly the circum- stances under which Cwmavon was first invited by Llanelly to provide a new minister. The period I now allude to was towards the close of the year 1872, when the young church worshipping at Moriah Baptist Chapel (having been opened as the newest branch of Zion Chapel in April, 1872), exte-nded a unanimous in- vitation to the pastor at Penrice Baptist Chapel, Cwmavon (who had then com- pleted a ministry or over 22 years), Rev. i John Rowlands,—a native of Bodloigan, j Llanfachraeth, ,Anglesey-to become its first pastor. The choice was a wise one as events afterwards proved in the history of t1 r: rapid growth of Moriah Church and j:uu first pastor was a valuable addition to the then fine galaxy of "Giants of the Pulpits" of Llanelly, both Anglican and Nonconformist. The late Dr. Rowlands (as he after- ward s became) accepted the invitation, and removed to this town on April 29th, 1873, in time to take part in the first anniversary services of Moriah on the following Sunday and Monday, May 4th and 5th. He ministered with great sue- cess and distinction in his new sphere of labour for tho Master for 36 years when ] failing health compelled him to retire frcm the pastorate at the end of Deccm- her, 190S. Six weeks later Tie -went to his eternal reward. It is devoutly to be hoped that the same success that attended the first ministry at Moriah will also crown the new ministry of the Rev. John Owen Jones at Capel Newydd. "Hir oes iddo."

Rural Water Bill
Rural Water Bill BEFORE THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. [Special Report to the "Star." ] The Water Bill promoted by the laam- elly Rural Council was before the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Thursday, Captain Starkey presiding. The Rural Council were represented by Mr. Vesey Knox, K.C., and Mr. W. J. Jeeves, and opposing the Bill were Mr. E. Honoratus Lloyd, K.C., and Mr. Tyldesley Jones (for the Llanelly Cor- poration) and the Hon. G. E. Charteris, K.C., and Mr. WT. A. Robertson (for the Llanelly Steelworks Co., Ltd. and the St. j David's Tinplale Co.). Mr. Knox opening the case for the Rural Council, said they had a most diffi- cult problem to face. The most produc- tive part of the area from the point of view of rateable value was a part .which had been taken within the water limits of the Corporation. The great and ex- ceptional difficulty was that the whole of the area was on the anthracite coal measures, and, as the only really good j valley for water supply had been taken by the Borough, the Rural Council had of necessity to go outside their own dis- i trict. Mr. Knox detailed the various stops which the Rural Council had taken towards obtaining a proper water supply, j and, dealing with the present scheme, said it was unquestionably been very ex- I p"nsive. It was authorized in 1912, and the main contracts were let before the war; but, great as the expense had been, it was nothing like what it would cost to- I day, and in that sense it was an asset. The cost was originally estimated at £ 174,000 for a scheme of one million gallons, but when it was fouild that for a comparatively little increase they could got one and a half million gallons, it was decided to go on with the larger scheme. • Then the war came, and that which was not expected to cost more than ;f-200,000, hdin. fact cost about £ 300,000, includ- ing the £.32,000 which they sought to j borrow under this Bill, in order to com- pleto the system of distribution. There was a. deficiency rate, but even so, their rates were a. little lower than those in the I Borough. Unfortunately, that burden was thrown upon only a portion of the area, and they could not rate in aid of the deficiency that part of their area which was supplied with water by the Cor- poration. This extended area was in two portions-ono containing the Llanelly Steelworks, and the other containing Byuea Steelworks, St. David's Tinplate ¡ Works and Glynen, Colliery; and the largest consumers in that area (the Bvnoa Steelworks) had now withdrawn from opposition to the Bill "on the dis- tinct understanding that wo may rely on the Hural Council not allowing any of our Iwigh bonrs to receive preferential treat- ment as compared with ourselves." Mr. Knox raid that, without giving a..definite midortaking, it was certainly not the in- tention of the Rural Council to charge morc for the water than these people had been pnyiiag to the urban authority, but at the same time it was inevitable that a time would come when water would have tc be dearer. It had been supplied to manufacturers ooa extremely easy terms for the benefit of trade, but that .was be- coming too heavy a burden Oil the general ratepayers, and some increase, both with- in amd without the Borough, was in- evitable. If the Bill passed, the Llanelly Corporation would lose perhaps £ 3.,300 a year in water revenue, but, on the other hriitd, if the Corporation retained the two extended areas, they were faced with either a w-ater shortage or a big new works. In i$15-lf> the demand on the Corporation water for trade and domestic purposes was 4¡ million gallons, and yet their own figures showed that their works only yielded three and one-third millions. Thig; prcwd th:1 t they were gambling on not having three dry years. So long as they had tolerably wet sea- sons they could supply more than the quantity available in three dry years, "but," said Mr. Knox, "if they had j three dry years they would have to come cap in hand and ask us to let them have the water wherewith to supply those of our own people whom they have taken from us." While the Corporation's sup- ply was not well assured, the Rural Council had an abundant supply, and it was only right that they should 'now re- gain possession of their whole area. Mr. Henry J. Rofe, the engineer re- sponsible for the scheme, gave the Com- mittee technical details, and in cross- examination bv Mr. Tvklofiley Jones, he said that after the war they' lost a good many navvies and the work was carried en by conscientious objectors supplied by the Home Office. The Chairman: What wns the quality of their work ? Mr. Rofe: When they ~vcrc in sufficient condition to work well. they turned cut I to he just as gOt}1t; as the navvies. I YIESTEini-)AYIq f.ROCEPDINGS. II Mr. E. L. w,,It(, engineer, (jstininster, said th^ 1m2 scheme Wy,S not an expensive one, and the Rural Council went to the only available site for a supply. Under the worst possible conditions they could supply 1,00,000 gallons a day, in addition to the compen- sation water. Even allowing 750,000 gallons a day to the steel aud tinplate works ill the new area, they could supply 20 gallons per head per day to a popula-j 50 per cent. greater thaii tlj»re was. Corporation Shcrt of Water ? Mr. E.J.SIIcock, drainage and water engineer, Westminster, agreed with the previous witness, and said that on their own showing Llanelly Corporation were short of water. In order to supply the new area the Corporation would have to "obtain additional NA-.ter, but if that area reverted to the Rupal District Council and the Corporation were relieved and the obligation to supply it, the Corporation would have a margin to carry on for a number of years without constructing works. The Rural District Council were capable of supplying the area, but the Corporation would not be able to do so without new works. The District Council were the local authority in that area, therefore they ought to be the water authority as well. If the Corporation had to construct a row reservoir it would cost a good deal more than the existing works. He suggested that it would be better for the District Council and the Corporation each to supply their own natural areas which they could do on economical lines. Cross-examined by the Hon. Evan Charteris, K.C. (for the Llanelly Cor- poration) he said he would agree that the works had never experienced a short- J age of supply. He knew that the Cor- ¡ poration supply was very cheap, but it would not be cheap in the future if the Corporation had to spend a large sum of money in order to give a supply. Mr. Charteris: Do you know that it is one of. the cheapest places in the country for trjide water ?—Yes, that is so. Will you supply it as cheap ? Mr. Jeeves, counsel for the Rural Dis- trict Council, said he would call witnesses on that point, anu it v:o-,d 1 be found that their sca le would be quite as cheap as the Llanelly Borough scale.. In reply to the chairman, witness said that the provision of a drainage scheme and the provision of baths in the miners' houses would come well within the 20 i gallons a day basis.. •Chairman's Evidence. Mr. W. Y. Nevill, chairman of the Rural District Council, said they had long looked forward to having t'le area r&- stored to them for water supply. Now that they had got water in ample suffi- ciency the time was ripe for them to get it. A Purer source." I Mr. D. A. Howell, water engineer to the Council, said it was a great advant- age that practically all the area could be supplied by gravitation, as the water came in at tho highest poirt. The total population was 27,811. The water was drawn from an/absolutely pure source, there being: no houses or cultivation, and there was a high percentage of yield in proportion to the area of the gathering ground. It was a purer source than the Llanelly Corporation source. He estim- ated that the Corporation were giving more water than they could do if tliry experienced three dry years, and it would he better that the Rural District Coun- cil, which. had ample, should water the whole district. The Committee adjourned till Monday.

I National Schools WELCOME NOME AT THE NATIONAL BOYS' SCHOOL. j A most enjoyable time was spent last evening at the Bûys' National School, the occasion being a welcome homo to all the old boys who served in the H.M.
