BRITAIN'S REVOLUTIONARY PARTIES. "FALLACIES OF MR LLOYD GEOUGE." MR SAM LONGVILLE AT THE WYNDHAM CLUB, BARRY. Mr. A. C. Clissett. occupied the chair over a large gathering .at the Wyndham Conservative Club and Institute, Barry, on Friday evening I last, when an address on current topics was delivered by Mr. Sam Longville, Cardiff. The Chairman was supported amongst others by Messrs. Sidney Davies, Dan Browne, E. C. iNewby, J. A. Owen, F. Bosley, J. Sainsbury, J. Moore, A. G. Atkins. R. Gomven, J. J. Bletl1y.11, C. L. Rees (the secretary), W. J. Thomas, H. Grant, W. H Parry, J. Woods, T. At!well, and i1'. 'inrush. During the evening musical selections were rendered by Mr. Arthur Roberts' Band (vio- linist, M-r. Arthur Roberts pianist Mr. Frank Hooper; cornet-, Mr. J. Clo,de; amd songs w,e,re given by Messrs. A. Paterston, J. Hudd, T. Daviesi, S. Longville, and a. club swinging exhibition by Mr. G. Woodward. In the course of his speech Mr. Longville remarked that- though the twentieth century had only just commenced, they were living in a critical period, a.nd there were' troublesome times ahead. The air was pregnant with revo- lutionary measures. They had only to look around on what had taken piface dnring the past few days in Portugal, which had been suddenly turned from a monarchical country into a republic. In, England the same revolu- tionary me'asJUres prevailed in the political world. Thtepe was a party, who,c,alleid them- selves representatives- of Labour, wllIto were f' r .ving to overthrow the Osborne judgment, and make working men, no matter what their shade of political might be, contribute without option to the support of a member of Parliament—a measxire he could olnly term as tyraninical, and one that wtould foTce men to do what had never previously been known, There was also a great conference of a revo- lutionary character at present being ihelM, in which it was sought to overthrow a great part of our political institution, the House of Lords, which was composed of men who, were elected aa a T-esult of services they had, rendered to their country. Sea-girt nation ao we were, depend- ing on all parte of the earth for our supplies and very existence, it was necsesary that we should ha.ve a strong Navy for the protection of our sea- walk'? otherwise it would be simple for any country to bring uts to our knees, by the strong force of starvation. The Navy should always be kept up to the old two-power sian- dard set up by the Conservative Party when in power. (Applause.) But there- was- another sec- tion- whose desire it was, to, reduce the size of this protective iiorce. Them another revolu- tionary party was that which recognised that the wealth of every nation depended upon its industry; and, further, that the tariff system of England had reduced from the proud posi- tion of first, to' second otr third among ,the industrial nations. He referred to' the Ta,riff Reformers. That Tariff Reform was a great question,, and was regarded as such by both parties, was, evident from the strong man- ner in which it was taken up and opposed. But when statements wetre made on the platforms of the opposition party were untrue, it showed thatt their policy must be weak. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated that the working- men in, protected Germany had, by the c'on- ditions under which they laboured, been forced into a position which was most degrading, liv- ing in. a, state of abject poverty amd eating food that a, Britisiher WIOOJd only give to a tramp lie did not wish to call again. A fort- night's visit to protected Germ-any, however, revealed no such a state of things-. Every avail- able square yatrd of the country was under cul- tivation every place seemed in activity the children looked as if they did not know the pinch of poverty, the homes were spotlessly clean, dirt. being lotokied upon as if it were a national crime. There were no1 people loung- ing about the street comers, looking for the work that came not; the, working, men had their entertainments and cafes, and their children were well educated. To say that Germany was suffering from the results, of proitecrtiorn was not true. He granted that tihe wages for skilled labour were not so great in Germany as they were im England though those foT unskilled labour were greater. But then they must con- sider that it was only with the growth of trades unionism in England during the past thirty years that the wages for skilled labour had so increased. On the other hand Germany bad only become a united nation during that period. Trades UnwniÎlsm there was thus but in its infancy, but he would predict that with, the de- velopment of trades unionism would come better for the skilled labourer. He claimed that when a British states- man had to stand on the platform and support his do-ctrinas' by statements that were not facts, then that mjaln, had some- thing very weak: in the policy he upheld. Those present sboul'd thoiir pi&irt in r<6volnition > and throw over the condition of things under which they had existed for the past sixty years. (Cheers.) which they had existed for the past sixty years. (Cheers.) At the olose of his instructive address, Mr. Lono-vi'lle was hearty vote of thanks on 'the proposition of Mr. Sidney Dwries, seconded by Mr. Dan Browne, Mr. Louigviile suitably responded, and pro- posed a. vote of thanks to the Chairman. This was seconded by Mr. Sidney Davies, and car- ried, and an enjoyable evening came to a con- clusion: with a hearty votte of thanks to the artistes, passed on the proposition of Mir. Att- well, seconded by Mr. R. Cotmiven.

I\:o.t-e was a g-o-od attendance of local golfers at the Barry Hotel on Friday evening last, when, under the presidency of Mil". Alfred .Jackson, the annual meeting of the Barry Golf Club was held. The treasurer, Mr. J. Salisbury Jones, pre- sented a statement of accounts for the past year, which showed that, notwithstanding ad- ditional expenditure to the extent of £35, and the wet season, the balance in halnd had been increased by £ 25 to £34 10& wbicih did not include outstanding subscriptions. The total receipts amounted to £386 4s., and the expen- ii+nre to £ 351 14s.

Salisbury Jones was- re-elected trea- surer for the ensuing twelve months. The Chairman. who was the retirin,g captain, then proposed that Mr. Neville S. Thomas be elected captain for next year, paying high tri- but to Mr. Thomas' loyalty to the club, having taken a great interest in its welfare, was a good player, and better still was a sportsman. Mr. Sibberi.ng Jones seconded, amd Mr. Thomas was duly elected. The Chairman then proposed the re-election of Mr. Fred N. Jones as secretary, remarking that Mr. Jones had been, secretary for seven years. During that period the club&3 progress had been very marked, and he instanced this by statistics showing that in 19012 the totbal re- ceipts were £1156, this year they were moipe than double, the figure being £386. The membership in 1902 was 59 gentlemen, and 29 ladies. In 1910 there were 146 gefntlemem and 53 ladies, members off the club. The competition fees in 1902 amounted to £11, this year they were R56. The Sec.re)tairy had had a gireiat deal of wtork, and riro one could say that be had ever spared himself. For hisi services Mr. JlOnes had had nothing from them except their gratitude, sup- port, and -esteem, but he now had great plea- sure in presenting him with a, ease of cutlery on behalf of the club as a. token of their ap- preciation amd good wishes. Mr. Fred Jones responded in suitable (terms, and was unanimously re-elected hon. secretary for th'e ensuing ye'alr. The following were elected members of the committee:—Messrs. D. Sibbering Jones, R. T. Illiingworth, W. Price Jones, W. J. Darfling, W. Waddell. E. T. Lawrence, Dr. J. King, R. T. Duncan, T. (H. Williams, A. D. (Mean, J. Auld, and F. P. Jones Lloyd.
