Parliamentary Bye-Election,…
Parliamentary Bye-Election, 1319. TO THE ELECTORS OF SWANSEA EAST DIVISION. I Ladies and Gentleman, Having been unanimously adopted by the Swansea Ea,<,t J<iberal Association as the Coalition Liberal Candidate lor the vacancy wjiieli, has arisen tlirougJi the laruenhxi death of the late Mr. T. Jeremiah Williams, I have decided to place my services at the disposal of the Lleetors of this largo and important Con- stituency. My candidature has been heartily en- dorsed by thy Swansea Unionist Associa- tion, and is supported by a large number of. patriotic .Trades Unionists, who wont to save our country from the chaos and disaster into which the extreme section or the Socialist Party would plunge it. The whole of my 23 years of public life has been spent among, and for. the work- ing clashes. Morriston workmen, who have always been ray sponsors, will bear Trilling testimony to the character and value of my municipal work. It is, there- tore, with pardonable pride and confidence that I now seek to enter the larger field of Parliamentary activity. I promise my whole-hearted and loyal support to the Coalition Government, and to accept as my leader Mr. Lloyd George, who piloted the nation ao succes-sfullv through the war; who was so largely re- sponsible for the framing and signing of the Peace Treaty, and who will be called upon to guide the nation in its work of reconstruction. Tho League of Nations will find in- me an ardent and sincere supporter. This I instrument fashioned by the Pea"B Con- ference should banish all possibility of I war among the Nations of the World. Germany, having plunged the world into the greatest war of all times, must be kept outside the League until such time as the contributory Nations are assured that the German people are prepared, honourably, to observe the sanctity of Treaties, and not to regard them merely as Scraps of Paper." I shall bo a vigorous opponent of any vacillating atti- tude towards Germany. German treachery ha.i been too well manifested quite recently at Scapa Flow to justify any loose talk about reconcilia- tion. Until (=he is repentant, and shows a change of heart, she must be rendered impotent for another attack upon the liberties of the World. In the matter of Education, ?_s ig well known, I have always been a strong pro- gressive. The Democratic ideals which I have followed in local administration shall be equally well maintained in legis- lation. The only safe democracy is a- well educated democracy, and to realise that object I am in favour of a system of Free Secondary and University Education, so that the best brains of the people shalllw utilised in the building of a better and brighter Britain. The determination of the National Labour Party, led by nien notorious for their anti-patriotic attitude during the war. to establish "direct action" or Soviet Rule in place of Parliament, has been made manifest in the recent South- port Conference. This decision is a grave menace to our National Prosperity, to our Civic Liberties, and to our Personal Freedom. As a Democrat and a Constitutionalist, I shall oppose any Attempt made by a minority of the people to impose its will upon the majority. Thousands of our best and bravest boys hove sacrificed their lives t,) re-fist the tyranny of the Prussian TV ar Lords, and now we are threatened by tyranny from within by Sovi(?t Str?e- LI)Îd. I strong?v believe that the Ballot t-it the liall,)i- mining the will of the people than revolu- tionary methods involving bloodshed. The Industrial Outlook is far from Dromising. but I have every conifdence in the future of our land if only better co- operation between Capital and Labour could be established on lines, on I the- basic of the Conciliation Board, which has been so successful in mllinhtining industrial peace ;11 thr Steel and Tinplate industries of South Wales. The sump spirit and determined nrgnni«-"tion which enabled us to win the war wiil help us to reap Hie fruits of Peace. I T am in favour of the most ample and generous treatment, to the soldiers and sailors w ho helped to our Empire from destruction, and f shall always be ready hin) a symnathetic car to any cases or \)J:lrs!t treatment which might Want -redress. My record during the war may be taken as an earnest of mv future policy in dealing with our gallant de- fenders and thpir dependents. The val ue and sincerity of promises should be judged in the light of past utterances and actions T do even thing in my pnn-cr to ;J)r'C'c1 I1)J i 1If' provision of Houses, to llfo- vide Cheaper and Better Transport Facili- ties, and to furnish our Old Age Pen- I sione.rs with an a llowance more in accord ance with present day needs. 4 During my municipal career I have done my utmost to advance the interests of the Port, and the industries of tho district, and I can confidently claim to have initiated and helped to cany through successfully several schemes of a construc- tive character which have materially con- triVute:! to the development of Swansea. There are a number of other questions of National importance which I Fhall ,f have the opportunity of /Scaling' with fully in the course of the campaign. If you honour me with election, I pledge myself to carry out my Parliamen- tary duties with the same energy and en- thusiasm as I hope have marked my municipal work. Believe fee, Ladies and Gentlemeai, Yours Sincerely. DAVID MATTHEWS. I Windsor L-odge, Swansea.

I THE DOCTRINE OF CIVIL WAR.i
I THE DOCTRINE OF CIVIL WAR. Mr..Robert Smillie came to Swansea last night as the herald of the class war. Mo proclaimed, opeDly and unashamed, the doctrine e!' civil \var between the classes ol this land. He caned 1timself a rebel, and envisaged a bitter fight between' tho pcuple of the country. He spoke of taking the land from its present owners, and talked quite checrfully of the" stiff fight" iu.wliich one class would go dr:wn." Rent was "blackmail." In a word everything was rotten to the core hut the world to be created by Mr. Robert Smillie. Direct ac- tion—yes. That "might" be necessary. If democracy did not pan cut as Mr. rmil'lie wanted it to, then his union would fight demo is by Parliament. He was quite- an awK\ard com- pan i on for the model ate Mr. David Williams, who is all for constitu- tional methods with a soft how- 8rer." ever. Mr. Smillie would resort to trado-s union action—that is, the weapon of the general strike—if the Govern- ment dees not agree to the national- isation of the coal mines. ex- cuse is that Mr. Lloyd fieorge ha 1 pledged himself to accept the find- ings oMhe Coal Commission. Now here we have one of ^lie few oppor- tunities afforded in the Danygraig ppoeeh to got to close quarters with Vr. Smillie—for as a wholr: he was indefinite and secerned detail. We ai>' entitled to ask him when and Wb're the (!')\ernment pledged t- J scli'to accept the nationalisation :.f mines? Upon lhat alleged pledge, •Mr. Smillie built up the reasoning for Pirect Action. Let us recall the facts. J ,1 ^March, Mr. Bonar Law announced in the House of Commons that the Cabinet had considered the three in terim reports and were prepared to adopt that of the Chairman and the independent members in the spirit as well as in the letter. Mark, how- ever, the contents of that report. Upon the question' of nationalisa- tion, the Chairman and the inde- pendent members expressed no opinion, for or against. Nationalisation.—No opinion is expressed for or against nationali- sation. It is pointed out that no detailed scheme has been sub- mitted, that no sufficient evidence has been tendered, and time has been' wholly, inadequate to enable a judgment to be formed on tht question, and that no pledge was given to deal with it in this re- .port. Mr. Bonar Law went on to say that the Commission would continue sit- ting and that the Chairman had undertaken that a report on the] principle d riationalisation. should be ready by May. And he added: Nationalisation must hi; i decided by Parliament, which represents the country." A per-; fectlv proper »thing to say, fori the High Court of Parliament, elected by the people of the country, has net abrogated its functions even to Coal Commissions, On Iarch-;},Ir.. Smillie signed p, manifesto in which the miners were strongly urged to vote in favour of accepting the terms I offered by the Gi overnment." Pre- i sumably, Mr. Smillie accepted the doctrine that Nationalisation must be decided by Parliament, which represents the country." What pledge, then, is Mr. Smillie talking about, the breaking of which would, entitle the Triple Alliance to resort to Direct Action! We have gone into this matter at some length be- cause it illustrates strikingly the loosnes with which he deals with great affairs of State. When and where did Mr. Lloyd George pledge himself to the acceptance about I' which Mr. Smillie talked so surely lust night' We want chapter and verse. We have searched long and ¡ in vain for confirmation, and Mr. I Smillie owes it to the electorate te.> be more definite upon this. matter. ¡ The speech contained sneering! allusions to the alleged cooling down of the Prime Minister's domocratie I fervour since Limehouse days. Happily we in Wales know Mr. Lloyd George better than his critic, When Mr. Smillie talked last night I in admiration of the. wonderful lads who fought for and saved Britain, i we remembered that Mr. Lloyd George dedicated himself also to that solemn task; and it was wors, than ingratitude for Mr. to assail him for leaving awhile tho path of bome reform-worse than I ingratitude, because Mr. Smillie and the I-L.P. did but little to bring about flie. viet-olt over Germany which was requisite before we could even hegin to talk of social reform. Mighty small chance of any of Mr. Smillie's "platform planks" being carried into effect there would be if the J.L.P. Conference of 1915, which requested its members not to assist thB Government in tbe re- cruiting campaign, had had any ia-j flueilce in the eonntry
"___—! CAMPAIGN -NOTES.I
— CAMPAIGN NOTES. The led Flag an d the The Red Flag and the Black Cap. j There is a very suggestive word in the II telegram wliioh Alderman M&itthews has received from Mrs. Lloyd George. It re-I fers to the alderman's "'municipal record." Swansea East may indexed do worse than make the work which the two candidates have done in the municipal life of the tin' a test question. The mum who proves a competent, business-like, and insistent reformer in the politics of the nraoiici- 'pality may be reasonably expected to dis- play the some qualities in the l-arger atmosphere of Parliament. it It is often the ease that people wfho live in'a town know less about it than is dis- covered in a short visit by Etrangers. Yes- terday, I mat. a visitor to Swansea who had had the curiosity to go througli the ward represented by Alderman AlatLho-vs (Morriston) and that represented by Councillor Williams (St. Thomas) in order to compare tb? two. The result was what anyone kn*owing this Tlip res,,tl?t h??e expected. For all his frequent speeches, it cannot be said that the ward which Air. David Williams represents ha.s been blessed, as a result of Jii-s, khburs with such ideal conditions as ot;" (if one were very fcini-ple) expect tu find in a neighbourhood having the ativ.ini.atje of his services. & fact is the. difference between tho two iueu that while one is mainly I concerned v.-ith talking, the other is eoit- emed with, the practical solution of problems. A., a weighty antidote to anything Mr. Hubert Smillie or any other gentlemen 01 extreme views may ayin the course of this contest, we would put the sohef words of Mr. J. E. dynes. Speaking at Cambridge, August 12th, 1918, whilo he was Food Controller, Mr. Clynes said: — "The will of peoples can find endur- ing and beneficial expression only when that will seeks social changes by reason- able and calculated instalments, and net by any violent act or revolution." Here is another statement made by Mr. dynes on the same occasion which the workers of' this town might pomldor:- Peaceful voters and property formu- lated principles will go in the end fur- ther than fire and sword in t-he internal affairs of a nation..1 say this because of all the loose talk we have heard-I re- gret to say from many Labour platforms —about revolution. Revolutions may well in any country be the beginning and not the end of internal troubles often expressed in a more paihful and violent form than 1 ever. THE RED FLAG MARCHES IN THESE PAYS WITH MACHINE GUN AND BLACK CAP when we reach a certain stage of physical revolt." We publish elsewhere a facsimile of the Canvass Card that has been issued by the Laibour candidate's agent, and tt may be well to put on record Aid. Ma-tthows^s explicit challenge to Mr. Williams on this matter. At aJl his meetings last night Mr. Matthews challenged Mr. Williams to justify if he can this unfair and im- proper method of canvassing. We await an acceptance of this challenge. i

After watching the airship sailing over Swansea yesterday, a little lad went home and told his mother he had quite made up his mind as to bis future occupation. He was going to be a flying man, because far high living there wu? nothing to toudl it. This year's shooting oomtiti-ollii at Bisiey are interesting from the point of view that the weaker sex who have served in the Army or Navy are-allowed to com- pete.
