Ar*xu!qw'vTHCAALJ ATAOWAVL.OTAO WRD , UZ2r,14 The ancient Brifons once occu- pied the wbole of Engiand, but witb the periedie invasions of the Angles and tbe Saxons from the east, and the Romans from the South, tbey were driven westward fighting te the Cambrian hills and into Coînw,ýall. And now the Welsh Britons bave rcturned and cenquered England. At least se if appears te, me frem a study of English politics. The Mon of Har- loch who were once on the defens- ive have assumed the offen,-ve. and thaf net in polities alone. While reading English news- papers, lite[ary and religieus jour- nals recently, I was struck with tbe facf that se many of the sign- ed articles wcre by Welshmen.

If was per- haps Lloyd George who led this latest invasion, particulariy into Englisb pelifics, and bas been foi- lowed by a host of his country- men. If may bc tee much te say that anything like. a majerity of the English mnembers of Parliament are Welshmen, but a goodly num- ber of themn representing Engiish constituencies are either Weish or of Welsh extraction. Many of them are outstanding leaders in the Labor Party, although they are by ne means cenfined te thaf party'alone. Former Welsh miners have been ospccially aggressive in the Labor Mevement in recent years. Aneurin Bevan is porbaps the mosf ,,ggressive Of these.

Ernest Bevin, who was born on the cor- dors of South Wales and is prob, ably of Welsh extraction, started life as a peor boy and became a iiery labor le8der; but bis exper- 1 ence of responsibility as a mem- ber of the War Cabinet tempered his rebellious spirit and broadéned bis political outlook.' 0f course, there bas alway s been a steady migration o! Welsh peo- pie into Engiand, more particular- ly to the large cities of the north and the midlands. MY own native city of Liverpool was to a.large extent populated by Welsh immi- grants, altbough a considerable number came fromn the North of Ireland in the eariy years, and I -lm myself a queer mixture of those two elements. But the Weish people, as I knew them in Livcr- pool, and frem my visits te rela- tives in North Wales, were not of the robellious type. They were in- dustrious and of a rather piacid nature; fond of music and great singers. There were Welsh lang- uage churches in ail parts o! the city. Love of religion was the chief trait in the Welsh character, and the smooth lyric quality of the Welsh language gave a deep fer- vour te their preaching and sing- ing. In this connection I rocaîl the visit of Evan Roberts tn Liverpool during the great Welsh Revival. People flocked to hear bim, as they do today to see a hockey match, and thousands were unable te gain admittance. The meeting which I attendod was held in a large Tabernacle, and I only got in by unlawful means tbrough a basement window. 1 found the auditorium packed to the roof and took up a standing position behind the rostrum. Unlike mest evangelists, Evar Roberts was ne great preacher, but be wielded dynamic influence over that vast congregation with- eut any apparent effort. Ho was a tali, handsome Young man, with the face of an acter and a shock of chestnut bair. When he spoe, he seemed te do so on suddon im- pulses, and bis veice was soft and melodious, but maniV - Ho roamed about the*rostrumn sweeping bis arms leisureiy from side te side and casting his eyes inte every corner of the building. He stopped suddonly in bis speech, leaned forward with bis bands upon the desk and jorkod his bead upward as if in a spasm of inarticulate prayer. Then casuatly lifting the ieaves of the open Bible ho ed 'Does it net say bere, 'Le, I am endh io aiway, evon unto the" encf the worid'?" Upon which the entire cengrogation broke into a tempest of prayer. Deep reson- ant veices of strong mon mingled with the shril1 voices of the we- mon, like the "seund cf many wva- ters." It was a veritable cyclone of emotion and it literaily swept through me. The effoct was un- bearablo, and 1 wanted te shout eut "Stop it!" Whiie this was go- ing on, Evan Roberts was jerking bis head and body as if he woulti faîl in a fit. Then, at the wave of bis hand, the sterm ceased and the congregation burst into singing "Guide me, 0 Thou great Jebovab" -and bow they sang! No trained choir over produced such a volume of perfect, sou]-thrilling harmony. Tbov were the Wolsh as I knew themn before Lloyd George led them eut into the wilderness cf English pelities.

SHEER WASTE 0F MONEY "More than 90 per cent cf radie cemmercials and 50 per cent cf radio programing is sheer weste," Horace Schwerin, radie research bead told a Chicago audience. That conclusion, asserts The Financial Post, may came as a surprise ta those whe foot the bills, but nef to the long suffering public. Ne person in bis right mind wculd expeet a concert audience te put up witb a performance studded every few minutýes with a boost for somebody's scap, patent medi- cine, motor fuel, or what-have- you. Even a free concert in the park wauldn't attract many peo- pie under those conditions. Yet wben iL comes to radio, maoy sponsors seem te think that this sort o! thing is actual]y apprecia- ted.

IL is surely seif-evidenit that industrial harmony. based upon complote fairness, will move Canada to great heights. Regain Markets In supporting the Progressive Censorvative programme te take immediate steps ta salve present currency prabloms and recapture lest averseas markets for Canad- ian farmers and let farmers themn- selves manage their awn affairs, I hope for the support of Durham County farmers. In removing governiment from the backs of Canadian farmiers, there is only one view ta take, and that is by se doing, Freedam will be restored and dignity and security will again be the erder of-he day. P. C. Programme In suppÔrting the Progressive Conservative Party in its pragram for a National Laber Cauncil. and the -kind af advanced legisiation carried by George Drow in On- taro, 1 hope fer the support cf those employed in factories, for this toc, will- restore and guar- antee the liberties that wiso labar leaders claim can enly be retain- ed under the froc entérprise system. As stated beforo, the basic issue an June 27 is FREEDOM. The only party in Canada tadayl standing far this priceless prin- ciplo is the Progressive Coser- vative Party. Sincere Thanks îMay I conclude with expressmng my sincere thanks te the manage- ment cf The Statesman fer the priviiegeocf placing befere the Durham Ceunty olectorate the few reports I bave made as your mem- ber in the 2tb Parliament. Among many fricndships I have made in Ottawa among members cf al parties, I cao also truthfuliy re- part that The Statesman is re- garded as one cf the greatest wookiies in the entire Dominio. It bas been a great privilege indeed te have been henarod, as yeur member, te report te you in the columns cf The Statesmen, frem time te ime duriog sessions cf the Heuse. This is Demecracy i0 action. Once- again, may 1 urge, let us ail get eut and vote on June 27, and freely choose your ropreseot- ative in the 2lst Parliament. Sinceroly yours, Charlie Stephenson Brooks-Langmaid Clans Hold Picnic Char les E. Stephenson right, this matter of the free fran- chise, and its virtue is neyer bet- ter understood than when it bas been lost. It is the only political bulwark against the loss of Free- dom, in whole or in part. And it is our fertunate privilege to vote for whom we wish te elect. Two Prlnciples The political picture today, over most of the world, încluding Can- ada, is one of conflicting ideas that revolve about that one single principlt . . . FREEDOM. It bas been made abundantly clear that Socialist ideas have been imposed upon Canadians by the present government with the support of the Canadian socialist party, the CCF. In fact it is admitted, pub- licly, by both these parties. Lest Freedoms It bas aIse been shown, and it is known and feit that the appli- cation of socialism in laws passed by socialist majorities, that with every such set passed sorne degree of personal freedom is lost. The farther this system is applied the greater is the loss of individual Freedom. The case of present day Britain is only tee eloquent o f this undeniak]e fact. So, in vot- ing on June 27, a vital decision is at hand. Froducing Groups In the Parliament recently c]osed at Ottawa we had discus- sions which centred in this mat- ter of Freedom in relation to the two great producing elements of the Canadian population, namely, farmers and factory workers. This column bas already told how farm- ers have corne under state direc- tion through the terms of Bill 25, carried by the combined strength of the government and the CCF. The terms of this Bill have been stated in this paper.
