SUGGESTED TRAIN FERRIES. BETWEEN ifOLYHEAD AND KINGSTOWN. "Facility of communication begets com- munity of interests," says Lord Fisher, and people whose business takes them frequent- ly to Ireland are asking whether Anglo- Irish relations might not be betterod by the modernisation of communications be- tween London and Dublin. The introduc- tion of train ferries between Holyhead and Kingstown, besides shortening the journey, would do away with the horrid ordeal of turning out of bed at Holyhead at two o'clock in the morning to go on board the boat. What has happened to the Ridiborough train ferries which did such splendid work during the war 1

THE REV. J. W. WYNNE 1 JONES. AN IDLE RUMOUR. A rumour is abroad that the Rev. J: W. Wynne Jonas, late vicar of Caernarvon, is in receipt of the income of the benefice of Carnarvon as well as that of Llantri- s-ant, although public statements to the contrary have been made. The rumour must be a source of annoyance to the late vicar, and justice demands that it should be stated that he reccivets no income from the benefice of Carnarvon.

C. Edwards (sister of the bride) and Miss H. C. Thomas (sister of the bride- groom). His little niece, Dallas Thomas, strewed rose petals in the bride's path ?,comiiig out of church.

The bride went away in a rust-colour ailk poplin, the gift of the bri&groom's mother, with a becoming hat to moch.

THE NATIONALISATION OF MINES. I (SECOND ARTICLE.) I The avowed programme of nationalisa- tion is that the mines should be worked by the nation and for the nation: the underlying assumption is that at present they are being worked for the benefit of a small class. Yet lor every ton of coal sold at the pithead at about 30s there is paid 21s for labour "by hand or head," 7s for stores, and only Us for rent, royal- ties, and interest on capital. Of the pro- duct about 67 per cent,, is employed in tile vital industries of the nation, and b3 per cent. m domestic consumption; and under the present rationing system the excess consumption of the richer classes can hard- ly amount to 5 per cent, of the whole. It does not, tiheicfore, appear that the nation has much to gam by a revolution in the mdustry. The true iutent of the proposed now form of management is best .shown oy the history of the Coal Commission. A demo- cratic Government projxjsed a Commission representative of an interests, to be pre- sided over by a judge, and to ascertain, ,&nci discuss impartially the facts. The Miners' Federation demanded (under threat of a strike) that one-half of tne commissioners should be men pledged to their own views. Enquiry and discussion thus became superfluous; it only remained to secure the vote of the chairman. Under the-strike threat Air Justice ban key gave his approval to the principle of nationali- sation; but in his final report he only granted the miners' demands subject to other conditions in the interests of the nation; and in particular he insisted that the annual output should not be less than 250,000,000, and that the right to strite should end. The miners accepted that part of his report which embodied their own vjews, rejected the remainder, dubbed the report thus mutilated the "majority report," and insisted that the Government should givo it effect. Two things are clear; first, that there can be no real negotiation when one ot the parties is subjected to a permanent threat; secondly, that in practice nationali- sation is merely a disguise tor syndicaii- sation. Should the wnole mining industry be placed (as the miners propose) under the control of a system of joint com- mittees in each of which the miners con- stitute one-halt of the members, and the chairman is a political official, tno work of the committees will consist solely in registering divisions previously agreed upon oy the miners' section. The character of those decisions ie already plain. No in- terest or dividend will be allowed to tne "owners" of mines or machinery; piece- work will be aboi&shed1; workmen will obey the orders not of managers, but of shop stewards; saving will be treated as a crime. In fact, the four commandments of the English Soviets will be established: do not pay, do not exert yourself, do not obey, do not save. The results cannot be different to what tfiey have been under every communistic regime. Work falls on in quantity and quality; machinery goes out of repair and: is not replaced; con- fusion reigns and production sinks. The whole nation sinks -into poverty. It does not alter tnese facts that only some of the Soviet men are at heart de- structive, and that the lest are idealists. J I1 tho Golden Age, in Paradise, in the Millennium, men have no debts to pay, no tasks but works of 10n, no obedience but that of loyal hearts. They need no incentives and no discipline. It is me root error of communism that it endeav- ours to carry on tho afiai rs of this work- a-d world on the assumption that JU- dividual men are already perfect. But the Russian Soviets appear already to have outgrown this assumption, and the £ nglisn nioveli)(11it may yet do the same. The problem of the nationaflsa* on of mines cannot be dealt with by itseit and it cannot bo dealt with by eompromi-ie. It is only part of demand for the nationali- sation of every intiusti-tal activity, the sup- pr c-ssion of all private enterprise, and the I establishment of a communistic nation. The statesman who can deal with, ti-it, problem successfully must have clear con- victions as to the essential principles of ordered industrial life as they have been established by the experience of the. wnolc civilised world, and must not abandon one jot of them out ot any tear ot conse- quences qll the otner ha.nd. lie must be prepared to jettison without hesitation all that is obsolete or superfluous in the present social system, nlll must make no attempt to rebuild what has rotted away. To for- mulate his programme is a task whicn requires ail the constructive abiTny of the nation; but it is jierhaps not hard to lay down certain principles n which the great majority of moderate men would «t onoc concur, as for instance: (i.) Thero must be Jiquidat.ion of the I National Debt, balancing of the National 1ncomo with the expenditure, stabilisation of tne currency, and standardisation ot wages. The National Debt is a mortgage on the tiHo deeds ot individual citizens, and the sooner this mortgage is cancelled by a scientific- capital levy or by, an asscsesd Joan at low interest, t-nc better fOi" aii parties. The balancing of the National Budget requires the ending of a.,I subsidies, whether ior bread, tuol, trans- port, or housmg, except ll the interests or those who are ltaiiy poor. Stabilisation of the currency means mat, the power of issuing currency notes should be taken out of tnc hands of Government, and placed in the hands of trustees tor national in- dustry. Standarisal'on of wages means that all wager, paid by Government 6houid be determined by general principles, and that they shold nse with, the increase of production and tor no other reason. (ii ) The working capital ot a,T mdus- tr.CN must ue increased, machinery lIU- proved, motive power multiplied. Capital, therefore, must receive its reward, and it it. is to be dissociated from class divisions, mast bo contributes by workmen under co-operative conditions. (in.) there must be direct incentives both to good work and to thrift, anti some pail, of wages must therefore be reserved tor individuals ..rid concerns which pro- duce a proufc. (iv.) Everywhere there must be discip- line and therefore authority. Individual workmen must comply with' the directions of captains who are set over them'; but these captains, managers. and foremen must bo ultimately responsible to some authority constituted on a democratic b a s; It any existing Wlit-eal party were based on princip.e instead ot on opportunism, it would certainly include the above features in its programme, io the Parliamentary Labour Party must be paid the tribute tha.t it has endeavoured to formulate its principles; but in omitting from its pro- gramme the essential questions ot stabijtv, imhistry, thrift, and discipline it has shown how much it has yet to learn. Front the principles "thus indicated: it is not hard to deduce a practical plan for the nationalisation of niines. The plan now to bo proposed agrees in iti, main outlines with the Duekham report, but goes beyond it in aiming directly at placing the mining industry on a co-operative be,-is as regards^apit-al To give defimte- ness, rough figures are' invrtpd through- out; but actual figures could only be pro- posed as a reeult or expert investigation. SCHEME FOR THE CO-OPER VFTYiS l i v_,4- I WORKING OF BRITISH MINES. I (i.) The capital of the mining industry wnll amount (say) to JE250,000,000 a 3 compensation for existing interests, of which one-half will lie mort- gaged in the interests of the National Debt under the general liquidation aod I will be represented by Debentures; £ 260,000,000 for improved machinery; 4=0,000,000 for housing. The two last sums will be provide3 by working men, say £ 260,000,000 by miners and £ 250,000,000 by men in other trades. There- fore each miner oil an average would nerdi to subscribe 925b. This amount could most easily be raised by a miners' tax ot £ 1 a week 011 unmarried miners, continued for 10 years (age 16 to 26). IT the system were in full operation each miner at the end of 25 years' work would possess a capital of over £, et-cadily increasing till he desired to retire. THe maximum holding would be £ 1000. (ii.) The various control committees vvTu bo ejected partly by the miners as workers, parfly by the shareholders, partly by die representatives of public interests. It w-Ta not be essential to retain 'the system of piece-work, but some substantial reward must be reserved (a) tor individual workers whose output is good, (b I tor all miners in pits or districts tor which the output is above the average. (iii.) The rcnuaJ output, which has re- cently fallen from 2/5,060,000 tons to with improved machinery and goodwill be easily raised to 400,000.000 tons. The profit wiii go- partly to reduc- tion of prico and partly to increase of w-ages; that is, the principle will be "tho lower tho price, the higher tile wages." It can hardly bo questioned that any such plan would be highly to tne advan- tage both of the miners and ot the nation Is it, however, a plan which either a Par- liamentary Government or a body of trades union" nwdllltors" is likely to produce and insist upony The obstacles are obvious. The Govern- ment has already accepted the Duekham report, a scheme srtnpler and more imme- diately practicable ilian that here out- and has received no eupport for j!, from either side. no iu.ne-o\wiers have some reason io dislike it. l'or it still further lowers profits which are already less than those which obtain in other ousi- nenses and the miner will not hear of it, for it has been dinned into his ears that capitalists are not entitled to any return for their investments, though apparently t-hey may still be allowed to supply all needful machinery and make up annual deficits. As to management, the two sides are 1>till further from agreement; ior though Mr J. H. Thomas may talk smooth- ly of men desiring to contribute ideas and share control, he knows well enough that the unions are pledgetfto reiuse ai agree- ments Fitli eap;tai, and that they demand unconditional supremacy. Owners, there- fore, arc not so very unreasonable if they decline to partey with opponents who pro- claim 111 advance. that they will not listen reason. The Soviet party may and does argue that however much Government may blus- ter, it is sure in the end to climb down; but their opponents may with equal trutn contend that whenever Government know; it.s own mind, Labour gives up the fight. Trades unionists claim that they have won the railway strike, and got the owners of property "on the ruu"; but the Demo- cracy too iias tasted brood, and believes that there exist enough independent spirits in Great Britain to run every trade witn- out the help of organized labour. majority of the people believe and pray that somehow a settlement will be reached; but they do not help to suggest its "terms. At present the dasfT is complete; tho minors insist on nationalisation on their own terms, .'nd Parliament declares that it will never accept those terms. Even the it %N ill never most pacific onlooker cannot deny that it may be patriotic to refuse conditions which are obviously irreconcileable withThc per- manent prosjjerity oi the nation, and better to fight now than to surrender not only the elementary pifneiples ot economics, but also the resources which at present gnc some prospect of success. Wfien passions are so heated, and the confidence of victory :S so strong on both sides, tlTe mediator's tasli it, se'dom hopeful; and in this case the mediator himself has yet to bo found. There may be bluff on either side, but bluff is the last stage before war breaks out. When we consider tfie forces that eten at this moment are being massed upon both side- and the ambiguous verdict of public opinion as declared at the poll- ing booths, it can "hardly be denied tTiat the cotiditioiis exist -A-hich have led in pastf times to civil w ar. In the concluding artic'o an attempt will be made to fore- cast 111 a general way what such a con- flict will mean for both parties, and how best the Democracy may hope to win its way through victory to industrial peace.

ROAD TRANSPORT IN NORTH I WALES. I REMARKABLE SUCCESS OF THE I SYSTEM. I One of the outstanding features of the recent railway strike was the manner in which the road transport system in North Wales emerged from a severe trial. It wa.s news to most people that the division had been organised for road transport, and the appearance of convoys of cars laden with food, rumbling along the country roads, heartened the population, and once and for all banished the bogey of starvation. Without the slightest delay, the Divi- sional Commissioner (Mr J. R. Hughes) set in motion the scheme of road transport, under the supervision of Mr Lloyd Da- vies, the road transport officer fer North Wales; Major Lloyd Griffith, Carnarvon; and Mr Rees Jones, Wrexham. They had the loyal co operation of a large num- ber of owners of private cars, who will- ingly placeel-tsem at the service of the Divisional Commissioner. In fact, there was a surplus of them. There being no "cergo steamer traffic, the whole of North Wales was entirely dependent on road- borne food. Another factor which added to the troubles of the authorities was the long distances which had to be travelled by the cars. The Liverpool wholesale grocers and millers sent large quantities of food stuffs by their own motor lurries. No fewer than 3COO tons of food stuffs were brought into North Wales in one week ppart from what was dealt with by the consignees themselves. There was one branch of the work which was not in the limelight, but which was of vital importance-the conveyance of the mails. This was carried oiit7 to the entire satisfaction of all the Postmasters con- cerned. Over 700 tons of mails were dealt with by motor cars. No fewer than 180 tons (over 9X0 bags) were dealt with at the Bangor Post Office alone. The staff at the chief office at Carnar- von were at work each day from dawn to 12 p.m., Sundays included, whilst the Transport Officer (Mr Lloyd Davies) was engaged until 2 a.m. each morning at his hotel replying to telephonic inquiries. .ffiaeh day saw an improvement in tho work, and had the strike continued an- • other week, the system would have been absolutely perfect.
