POLICE -OCRISIS. -.
POLICE -O CRISIS. Government Warning. NO DEALINGS WITH UNION. The Government have decided, without waiting for the recommendations of the Desfborough Committee, that the pension- able starting pay of a police constable in the Metropolitan Police Force shall not be less than 23 10s. a week. This decision (says The Times ") was oopamunicated to us on Friday evening by the Home Secretary. He said:— I stated in the House, and I stand by it, that the police forces were not ade- quately paid and that their conditions were not what they ought to be. The Committee on polico pay and con- ditions have loyally done their best to get their report out as soon as they can; but the matter is more intricate than people imagine, and they are not ready yet. I am not able, therefore, to say what their report will be, but I did make in- quiries to know in general terms what they will be likely to suggest with regard to pertrionable pay and improvements. They acquainted me with the fact that substantial -increases in pay and a sub- stantial improvement in conditions would be recommended. One of the improve- ments certainly will relate to housing. Whether they will go so far as to sug- gest that the police should be housed free w whether they will recommend the pro- vision of heuom for which a very small rent would be charged I do not know; but there will be proposals, which the Ckrvernment will consider and carry out, dealing with that question. THE MINIMUM. J As to pay, eo far as London is concerned, I have to-day, after discussion with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, come to the Conclusion that we could eaj at least this, .that the pay of a constable—the pension- able, starting pay—would be not less than S3 10s. That is not the recommendation of the Committee as yet. What the recommen- dation will be I do not know. But at any rate we feel justified in saying that it iVill not be less than 70s., and it will fiite from April 1. ,3tie h as a l t,-rati<-)ns Other improvements, such as alterations lij regard to boot allowances and other allowance^ of that kind, aro under the eanr.ide,raon of Mie Committee, but I am Dot in a position to-day to make any otatment on them. NO DEALINGS WITH UNION. Mr. Short-t accompanied this announce- jnftit by an emphatic Hi," i that, t^e 1 Government could have no possible dealings of any kind or desci 'ptiO',l with ih,, National Union of Police and Prison Officers, that it was Absolutely impos- øfble" to yield to the d emand for the re- instatement of ex-Con stable Ppackman, and that any member of the Volice force who goes on strike shall leMe the force ifor ever and forfeit anything he may have gained in the way of penr-ion time." DERBY WILL BE RUN." i A high official at Scotland Yard stateo ion Friday with regard to the police out- lock that the proportion of the men who tave joined the Police Union is believed to be very high, but we are going to see tMs thing through, and I hare no fear of the result." Replying to a question, he said: tt YQU anay ke. it that the Derby will certamlj ibo run. HOW SWANSEA STANDS. I The PositiGn Explained. I Those of our readers who have not fol- lowed the course of the trouble will read the following facts with interest, and es- pecially the information oncerning the particular outlook as it appears at Swan- sea. The National Union of Police Officers end Pfisoa Officials is a now body, which has been refused recognition by the Home Office- Recently a number of men (mem- bers of the Union) in the Metropolitan area were summarily dismissed for alleged breaches of discipline. The Union inter- vened, but could not secure the reinstate- ment of those of the men whose dismissal was considered unfair. All attmepts to negotiate failed, with the result that the Union ballotted on the question of a strike. The Union also asked for a higher rate of pay for the men, and, as will be seen above, that demand, so far as the Metropolitan area is concerned, has been conceded. Practically every member of the Swan- sea Borough Police Force has joined the I Union—from constables to inspectors— and the ballot figures, 156 to 16 in favour of striking, show that over 90 per cent, of the Swansea Forego uphold the recom- I mendation of their Executive. NO LOCAL GRIEVANCE. 1 It would be well to Sinphasisc ftlearlv I that locally the men have no grievance, and their decision to strike has been ar- jived at as a result of their desire to sup- port the principle of a Union. It is pointed out, however, that a policeman's pay is wry low compared with the gen- eral rate of wages in the various works around so great an industrial centre as Swansea. It would be well here to give the new scale of payments in the Swan- sea force. Constables: I rom S2 3s. per week to Hf Ms. (after 20 years' service) with His. per week war bonus. That means that a recrnit now gets 2,11 IBs. per week. Serg,eiints.-Froin £ 2 16s. to j;3 (after four years service), with 16s. per week war bonus. Inspectors—.VlfUt -per amaum to £ 2Tt (after four service), with 1:41 13s. per annum war bonus. Chief inspectors.—Fu m 9238 to £ 250 (in two years), with £41 12s. per annum war Irt-nuf. Superintendents.—From £ 270 to £ 300 (in three jears), with 4:41 12s. per annum war benns. I --Deputy chief constable.— £ 400 per an- I r-um (maximum). MIDNIGHT MONDAY. If a strike is not averted the men will come out at midnight on Monday. On Sunday afiernoon a mass meeting -7-iil be held ,t the Elysium, when pro- minent local Labour leaders will speak.

YOUNG WORKERS. Swansea Juvenile Employ- ment Committee. Two very interesting aspects of juveinile unemployment in Swansea were discussed fit a meeting of th Juvenile Employment Committee on ljriday evening, Mr. F. J. Parker presiding. The Juvenile Employment Oitioer (Mr H. E. Wakefield) reported that the new Education Act would still permit em- ployment of juveniles for four hours each evening, fourteen hours on Satur- days, and two hours on Sundays, and he wa-s asked to draft local regulations for I lessening these hours. There is authority for such regulations, and when drawn up they will be considered by a special sub- ) committee.  Contemplated action to ascertain the I views of all concerned in regard to ap- prenticeship in Swansea was deferred to i see local effects of the .Fisher continua- I tion schools proposals.

FARNBOROUGH CONFLICT. I Following a conflict between Canadian soldiers and Farnborough civilians. a number of soldiers stationed at the Ontario Hospital marched on Friday to Farnborough armed with sticks, tree I brllllches, and other weapons.

'YOU MUST SIGN.'
'YOU MUST SIGN.' PREMIER'S SPEECH TO 38th WELSH, Mr. Lloyd George on his recent visit to the 38th Welsh Division, near Amiens— vrhen he was escorted over the battlefield by Lieut.-Col. Dyson Williams, of Swan- sea—spoke on the German delegates and the Peace Treaty. According to one re- port, he. &dd We say, Gentlemen, you must sign! If you don't do so in Ver- sailles you rviiall do so in Berlin.' The Prime Minister aoded: "If we go to Berlin to say, You must sign,' we must have the Army behind us. We are not going to give way. The future of the world is dependent on this peace being imposed on Germany now and for ever. If it is necessary for you to march on Berlin I shall let you know in a day or two. If your departure for England is deo. -i-yed you will know I alone am respon- sible. See that the seal is put on the document you have helped to write, and we shall have peace reigning throughout die world." TAKING LIBERTIES. As might have been expected the Ger- man delegates have taken liberties with the time limit for presenting objections to the Treaty. Though the counter-pro- posals were duly presented on Thursday, they have .been followed by four more 11-, oie ,s after time It ie open, of course, to the Allies to refuse to consider these. BERNSTORFF'S BOMBAST. BEE-LIN, rriday (lTc. Saturday). When asked by a German journalist for i,is opinion on the Paris press report that it would be easier to get him to sign the neate Treaty than Count Brockdorff- Pantzau, Count iieru-torff said that the idea had greatly surprised him. It goes entirely without saying," he added, that no Germnn k to be found who would attach his name to the docu- ment which is equivalent to a death sen- tence on his fatherland. If our opponents .sincerely desire the conclusion of peace, there Ù; only one way. They must amend the unacceptable a.nd unfulfillable stipulations of the draft ireaty submitted to us."

ISWANSEA COLLEGE.I
SWANSEA COLLEGE. I Privy Council and University I Hopes. Probably the most important and cer- tainly the most inspiring meetings in the history of Swansea Technical College, will be 'held on Tuesday next when the Col- lege Committee meets. The decision of the Privy Council, it is expected, will be before the meeting on the question of the recognition of iiie college as a constituent part of the University of Wales, and we believe we shall be found right in saying that that decision is favourable to the ex- pettations of Swansea. The decision of Dr. Varley on the ac- ceptance of his Brighton appointment will probably be among the question discussed by the Technical College Sub-Committee; the nature of the appointments to be ad- vertised will obviously depend on the I Privy Council's decision.

I PEACE AT ANY PRICEI
PEACE AT ANY PRICE I WHAT GERMANY WANTS NO MORE NOTES I PARIS, Friday (received Saturday). The Secretary of the Peace Confer- ence to-day finished the translation of the German counter-proposals, and the Four Heads of Governments began to ex- amine them this afternoon The counter proposals, which occupy 143 lithographed pages, were accom- panied by a long covering note of ten typewritten pages ecjual in length to. two newspaper c-olumne. The two documents, according to French diplomatic circles, do not seem to reflect quite the same in- spiration, and therefore it is not unrea- sonable to suppose that the counter-pro- posals were elaborated by the Berlin Government. While the more skilful and conciliatory accompanying Note was the work of Count Brockdorff Eantzau, the covering Note displays all the reo sources of diplomatic skill. The Note concludes with an equivocal phrase in which the Chief of the Ger- man Delegation declares: We shall only make engagements which we are sure of being able to keep, for it is the German nation which will tinally have to give its consent to the Treaty." The Allies may decide to publish to- f morrow the whole of this very interest- ing document. I OUR REPLY. I As regards the reply which should be given to the German counter-proposals, the opinion it unanimous in French poli- tical circles It is considered that the majority of the objections have already been raised in the separate German notes which were followed by the Allies' replies. CONCESSIONS7 I I Reports have been received from an I American source according to which the Allied and Associated Powers are said to be disposed to make important conces- to Germany, notably with reference to Upper Selisia and the immediate ad- mission of Germany into the League of I. Nations. These reports express nothing but the personal opinions of many of theee authors, and are not the riëw6 of the official American circles. PEACE AT ANY PRICE. I Will the Germans eign the Peace Treaty or not? According to some die- tinguished neutrals who have just re- turned from Germany the public wish es peace at any price. The Government is :king to have ita hand forced so as to ha-e to fdgn the Treaty while trying to 9pve itr- f, for Orranmnist ? gaining ground and foresee disoHbr. i NO MOKE MOTES. The delay given to the German Peace Delegation, to submit observations to the Council of Four expired on Thursday at 3 p.m., and the Allies informed it that they could henceforth accept no mora Notes. 1 The territorial clauses of the Treaty with Austria were communicated during the afternoon to the representatives of Czecho Slovakia, Jugo Slavia, Rumania and Poland.

Benson, D.S.O., tho first C.O. of the battalion, will be iri the procession. Conveyanoes will be provided for those who are unable to march, and there are still a few carriages needed. An earnest appeal is made to the local public to lend their cars. Anyone who is able to help in this direction is requested to ring up Coun- cillor Milbourne Williams at 321 Central, before 11 am. on Monday, or communicate by letter with 31, Fisher-street. MAYOR'S APPEAL TO EMPLOYERS. I The Mayor wishes to ask all the em- loyers of ex-mem bers of the Swansea Battalion if they could arrange for such members to be fret; an hour or two be- fore the arrival of the train carrying the Colours on Monday afternoon next (the train arrives at 4.35), so as to enable the men to join in the procession. SUGGESTION TO SCHOOLS. I As the train arrive at 4.33, the margin of time between the closing of the schools at 4.30 and the 6ta,rt of the procession is too small and it hita been suggested un- officially that the masters and mistresses of the various schools will be serving a very useful and patriotic purpose by clos- ing at four o'clock—or in the CMie of the more distant schools perhaps earlier-90 as to enable the children to see an his- torical event which hould remain in their memories all their lives. No doubt the head teachers concerned will eee their way to grant this concession.

I There was in the Mond Buildings on Thursdav evening a meeting of the 2/3rd Welsh Field Ambulance men, over which Lieut.-Col. Dan Evans presided.
