WAR PENSIONS. I DISTRIBUTION OF GRANTS IN CARNAR-I VONSHIRE. The arrangements for the distribution of grants In Carnarvonshire und er the Naval and Military WAX Pensions Act are now being cax-ried out with MARKED thoroughness. Subcommittees have been appointed to cover the whole county, bcuig located at Carnarvon, Bangor, Portmadoc, Pwll- heli, Bettwsycoed, and Conway, and their func- tions are primarily to get into touch with every man on his discharge from the Navy or Army. If they think the man is fit to resurnc, his normal employment, efforts are made to enable him to work, and he is offered an extended course of medical treatment, dieting, etc., until he is able to regain hda flill earning capacity. They can also arrange to send him to a sanatorium or any other institu,tion for treatment, and interest them- selves in the question of obtaining employment when he is fit for it; if he ie only &ble to Mnd?r- take !ight work, to make up his wa?cs, and if the State has rejected his request for a pension, and he ia unable to work owing to MILITARY ser- vice, then to take up his case. As can be gathered there is an almost unlimited soope of activity for this commi-ttce in safeguarding the interests of discharged soldiera. The county ia fortunate in possessing a repre- sentative local committee with a willing band cf ladies, and already advice has been given in no fewer than 300 CAGES.

WELSH IN COLLE lES. I CENTRAL BOARD AND ROYAL COM- I MISSION. REPLY TO BANGOR CRITICISMS. I Aldlerman D. H. Williams, M.A., chairman of the Executive Clomynit'Do of the Central Welsh Board, has sent for publication a reply to criticisms at a recent meeting of the Bangor Local Governing Body. In his article, the latter portion of which is hem CONDENSED;, Mr Williams mya:- My atte-nitioii bie been drawn to a report re- lative to a discussion at a. meeting of the Bangor Local Governing Body on the subject of tho evidence submitted by the Central Welsh Board before the Royal Commission on Univesreaiy Education in Wales. A resolution was passed protecting against the suggestions contained in the Board's statement of evidence that the study of Welsh was not encouraged in the Welsh col- lege's and by the university, and pointing out that, however desirable it was to give further encouragement to tho use of Welsh as a spoken language, there WERE also other WQYS in which the spirit of Wales might find expression and ,ht find expoe6 6 on an d the ideals of the people be cherished and en- couoraged. With the second PART of the resolution I am in oomplete agreement. It expaeeees my own views, and if I mistake not, the views of the Central Weleh Board. It admits the desirability of further encouraging the use of Welsh as a spoken language, and we all realise that there ax-e otlior ways of cherishing the ideals and spirit of Vvo.l(>,A, -m OFFICIAL FIGURES. In the first part of the resolution complaint is made that the Central WelsSh Board haaairds the suggestion that the study of Weloh ie not sufficiently encouraged by the colleges and by the University. The suggestion was only made after a careful scrutiny of the statistics of the schools and the colleges bearin,g on the matter. Sir Henry Lewis, the mover of the resolution, stated that the Central Welsh Board did not seem to know the amount of work done by the colleges. I notice that Sir Henry carefully re- frained from giving the statistics. I beg to supply the deficiency. Official figures, of which the following is a summary, were placed before the Commission.

I I 1-1 1 From these figures it will be seen that, WMIF approximately 40 PER cent. of the pupils in >t- tcnds-nce at the Welsh intermediate schools re- ceive instruction in Welsh, the corr>espon.mi^ IFRRUTRE for the national university COLLEGES—Da.sed on an a-veMge of the tliree YETUI3 1912-191-I. only a modest 12 per cent. These figures lose none of their Mgnniomce wben it is recalled that at the census of i t)l1 it WAS ascertained that. of the total population of the Principality, 8.47 per ('nt. were mon^lot Welsh-speaking, 35.01 per cent, were Uling-UIL, and 56.52 per cent, were monoglot. English-FPO«JK- ing Of course, no one would expeot to iina ti)E P&ROENTAGE of students taking Welsh quite as bgh at the colleges as it is at the secondary schools, partly for the reason that on admission to. the University the students ar-ri-ve at the mitirig of the ways as between arts and science, and PARTI-Y because a email proportion of students IS cb a.wri from outside the Principality. I maintain, how- ever, that the percintege of students taking Welsh at tho colleges shorid more closely ap- proximate that at the intomiediato schools than is the case at present. TEACHERS' EQUIPMENT. I Sir Henry Lewis, in proposing the resolution, direw a number of inferences from the preois of the Board's ev idence. The first is that the policy of the Central Welsh Board is "to make Welsh compulsory in matriculation." The suggestion in the precis is that We-lsh should be placed on a basis of equality with Latin AND dynamics, which are now alternatives. Surely this is w very mod&r?te suggestion, which ?na?Ms Welsh not compulrory, but option?!. The WCOND infere'n<? gav?n by Sir Hem'y is that the Central Welsh Board desire "to make a knowledge of Welsh obligatory on all ieochere serving in Wales." WELSH is taught in practically all the elementary schools of W ales. The drawback AT the PRESENT time is that many teachers do not poSOC-M sufficient knowledge of the subject, arid have not been properly trained to teach it. :f the Welsh schools and colleges do not properly equip teachers to tench the native language, who will? Sir Henry's third inference is that the Central Welsh Boad desire "that Welshmen only should be appointed to professorial chairs in Wales." Surely, Sir Henry DRAW this infer- ence from his own imagination and not from the precis 1 The Central Welsh Board complain that the atmosphere of the colleges is not suStcienHv Welsh. THE BOARD'S IDEAL. The fourth enormity Sir Henry finds in the Board's evidence is that the Board desire "to teaeh Welsh in the colleges not as an aoatfemic, but as a spoken language, a,nd in such a way as to attract Welsh-speaking students for certain classes, being, presumably, monoglot Welsh- men. It is certainly not contemplated by the Central Wekh Board that there should ever be monoglot Welshmen undergraduates of the Welsh University, and this part of Sir Henry's speech only botrays the spiri,t in which tho Bangor-pro- test was conceived. The Board's ideal IS a diuoglot nation, using English and Welsh with EQUAL facility and able to appreciate the literature of both languages. The Board would like to see Welsh receiving more ENCOURAGEMENT at the colleges and at some other educational institutions in Wales, e.g., in one of the schools under the control of the Ban- gor County School Governors. It is a signifi- oant FA-ct that of a hundred boys, or thereabouts, in attendance at Ban.gor FRIARA' School, con- trolled by this protesting body, not a single pupil receives instruction in Welsh, and this at Ban- gor, the educational capital of North Wales.
THE CHURCH IN WALES. I
THE CHURCH IN WALES. I EFFECT OF THE WA;R. I The Bishop of St. David's, writing to the Times cm TllieSday, says:— It is with -very .great reluctanioe that I aek to be allowed to offer some oibservatioms uipon hhe receiat corregpondctLboo in your columns in regard to the postponement of the date of Welsh Dissstablishmcmt which, unless the Suspensory Act of 1914 is amended, will take place on the day the war elide. I have no dOlLbt that the po&fcponemecmt asikcd for by Lord Salisbury and others will be granited, since the unanswerable iTeasons for postpone- ment urged by the present Prime Minister in PaTI-luawnt two years ago have greatly grown Íal strength since thexl. The op-posi- tion which led to the withdrawal of the Gov- eininetnt/'s Poetponemeuit Bill of 1915 was largely duo, I believe, to a 'Hack of apprehen- sion of tho exceedingly difficuit and ooanpiex nature of the problem of reconsfcrujcting lele whole legal constitution of the Church in WakSj which is what D decs tab 1 ish incn t means. Mr Hug'h C. Vincmt, who is spec- ially qualified to speak on the subject is rjjmt im laying strees on tie extreme diffi- cuity of copnstibuliomial reooaistructioai in time of war as the main ground for pos:jpone» ment. Mr Llewelyn Williams, M.P.j has not faced this difficulty, but confines himself to four propositions, from which he concludes that "the Church in Wales will bo better cif after Disendowmenft." Let me examine these four propositions. 1. The first proposition is that through the two years' postpouiemeoitt w1 ich has taken place the Cfliiurch has already benefited by the war to the extent of at least £ 314,000," oi, -as he goes on to add, "the real measure of the ChuraVs gain on this head is probab- ly X360 0(0 Tihat is not so. Ill the case of clergy hoJdmg veiled interests on tho date of the passing of the Act who now hold an occiesiafitical office in the Church in Wales therir fitll income was secured to them by the Welsh Churoh Act, and the postpoaiemoan,t gianted iiiider the Suspensory Act of 1914 hap nrado no difference in regard to their inooane. f In the ci6e, heweveir, of benefices heJd at the ptssin6- of the Act by clergy who, through fleath or some other caiuee, do not now hold M ecclesiastical office in the Ohurch in Wales, the Suspensory Act securee to the new incumbents of benefices thus vacated the itticome from ancient endowments until the date of Disestablishment. Mr Williams on what ground I do not know estimates the number of these vacatied 'benefices at 100, and their annual income from ancient endow- i*1 cuts at Ji15,000. Even on his own figures, therefore, the benefit to the Church from two years' postponement would be neither £ 314,000 nor £ 350,000, but simply £ 30,000. 2. The second proposition is that "the sur- viving Jif3 inlcreets, on a fair actuarial calculaton, must, to a large extent, if not entirely, make good tho lo-rs sustained by benefices falling vamnt." He does not claim on thia head any gam fnr the Church. When the coiarautalien scheme was embodied in the Act ity authors did not foresee the long inter- val of tjusperso created by the war. It will be for experts to ascertain^ when the time comes, how far the unexpected interval of suspense may have modified the actuarial ealeiilatictns up:m which the aolic.me 1 was baeed, and which v/ere fair, as we wore ad- vised, for t he short, interval originally con- tempiated. Be that as it may tho lapse- of a laige iliiii,Ler of v est-ed interests has cre- ated-in practice a very serious d,ifr-.Culty. New incumbents I avc to be np]x:intcd to thesse vacant benefices, since the re-arrangements in tho organisation of the Cliureli which may have to be made after tho date cf Di.^stsb- lihhm^nt caiiiict be mado irow. Though these new incuinben'ts acquire no legal vested in- terests the Reprpoentativc Body would be faced at cuc-e after the date of Di&estabiieh- monit with the difficult problem of ma.kiug provision for these from seme other source than the ancient endowments of their respec- tive benefices 3. The third proposition is that "the Church would gain JJ4f.,000 a year, or a capi- taÎ1i3C" sum of over fk",0,000" from the re- cent rise in tittle. That is rot so at ail. C'>mirmfcatiou is a bu,gÜ)I(.&<3 transaction under which, inaiead of the payment of amnual vested mtei eets in tithe by the county c&un- ciU, in w!bjch the titlio is vested after the date of DiWKtab'i.shmeait, a. capital sum is paid over to the Representative Body of the Church in Wales to which ia transferred the duty of payment .of annual vested interests. The fiamers of the Act calculated that this capital sum would be just sufiicient to meet the charge placed uipon it. The rise of tithe up to the diatCi of Disestablishment is a per- sonal benefit to these clergy who hold vested interests in tithe, for the amount of their vested interests is based upon the value of t ittje at tho date of Dis^staiblislm. The life of tithe after the date of n;e.nt only benefits the county councils to wliiah it oaeseis on that date. It does not benefit tho Riepresentativo Body before the dat() of DisJestablishmen,t for tho of commutation capital, in respect of the rise, will go in payment of a corresponding in- crease of annual charge upon that capital. 4. Tho fouith proposition is that through the recent rise of interest the Church would gain a year." That is not so Will Mr Wilhafma find a corporation that will take over the commutation business and pay to tbe Roprctx'ntalive Body for that privilege a perpetual Eeciucd aimuity o'f £ 45,000 a year ov the capita! valu thereof or anything like it? I have beforo me figures drawn up by an eminent actuary when the commutation scheme was beforo Parliament showing the annual risks fiom depreciation of capital and tht- amoxtnt of capital which would have to be drawn out annually to pay vested interests. These figures showed 1 here would be a large 1.;66 on the commutation scheme unless the commutation capital could be invested at 4 £ per cent.instead of at 3^ per cent. the rate upon which it was based There Would no no doubt, wb any rate for a time, a benefit to tho Church fiom the rise of interest, but Mr W illiams' estimate of £ 45,000 a year is much too high. Ihe fact of tho matt-er is that under the Welsh Church Act as it stands the Church in Wales, apart from surviving vested interes-ts, would lose on itho day the war ends ancient endowments which now yield a net in- come cf alb;)ut jG200,000 a ycar (out of which about £ 165,(K>0 a year cermets from tithe). On recount of thie financial exhaustion of the country through the prolongation of the war tho difficulty of replacing these ancient em- Aowmonite, notiwithi-tanding OOllle increase of interest on a diminishing commutation capi- tal. would be appanrng Tho conclneicn drawn by Mr Williams from his four propositions, had it, been true, would not have shaken tho unanswerable rea- KHT.s f-cr postponement urged by the Prime Afmister taw. years ago, and I tihink he has ever-estimated the connection between pcot- pontement and reoonsidcra+ioTi. It is true, as Lord Salisbury and others point cut, that "the country, too, requires time for reconr- sideral ion." What, Iwvevec, makes in my opinion, tho equital}!o !,¡cOIuski£-ration of the Welsh Church Act inevitable is the "new i spirit" upon which the Prime Minister rightly relies to solve the vast problem of national reconstruction. It is a spirit which places the future of national welfare aibovo all prc- war party pxepossessions amd whidh realises tho supreme value of righteousiijasis in home affairs from tho immense sacrifices made for the cause of rightocmsness in international affaiis. This new spirit is shared by Noncon- formists, as well as Churchmen, and, as I am thankful to hpar from information upon which I oar. rely, is shared by several repre- scntativo Nor.confermists who, before the war, were strong supporters of tho Welsh
