… dozen contemporary poets. There are some glar- ing omissions; but the editor has attempted to justify his method of selection in his introduction. Most readers of this anthology will agree with the compiler when he states that the selection is the result of the fallible taste of one man; and many will wonder why some poets have been excluded and why others are included. It would be an interesting study to compare a similar…

… CAROLAU RICHARD WHITE (1537?— 1584) Golygwyd gan T. H. Parry-Williams, A thro Cymraegi C°legy Ðrifysgol, Aberystwyth. University of Wales Press Board. 5s. This book contains the poems or "carols" of Richard White, the Welsh Catholic schoolmaster who was executed for his adherence to the Cath- olic faith at Wrexham in 1584. It appears that the five carols printed here are the only poems written by Richard White, as Dr. Parry-Williams seems to agree that…

… VOLUME XIX WELSH OUTLOOK Where there is no vision the people perish NOTES OF THE MONTH MOST of us started 1931 in complacent mood. We were not, perhaps, as com- pletely confident as we have often been in the past that all was well with the world in general and with ourselves in particular. But we were pleasantly satisfied that things were not so bad but they might be worse, and without pre- tending…

… is astonishing how difficult it is to get this simple fact into the heads of our politicians, and it is amazing and amusing and pathetic, all in one, to notice how, on the rare occasions when a states- man takes his courage in both hands in this way, and goes counter to what he believes to be popular in support of what he knows to be right, he is almost invariably astounded by the…

… ism. Sentiment of this kind is apt to be ephemeral, and unless we can be sure it is more than a pass- ing phase, we may unwittingly cause grave harm. it is not difficult to imagine that some manu- facturers, misled by an artificially created and purely temporary demand, may pour more capital into their businesses than is truly justifiable, and find themselves in difficulties later on when the demand assumes normal economic dimensions.…

… A NATIONAL JUDICATURE: IS IT PRACTICABLE ? by Judge Artemus Jones, K.C. There was a great charm about the old Welsh Circuits. The whole appearance of the court was different from an English court. The habits of the people-even their dress-was distinct and when as in most cases the witness could not speak English and had to be exam- ined and interpreted, you might well fancy your- self in a foreign country. Indeed, in…

… does not conceal here and there his sympathy with those controversialists who claimed that the English circuit system which brought the law to the poor man's door in the Duchy of Cornwall, was good enough also for the inhabitants of the Principality. One fact which emerges clearly out of the controversy is the responsibility of English politicians for the abuses which had clustered around the Welsh judicature. There were four Welsh Courts of Great…

… to Petty Sessions and Quarter Sessions in crim- inal work. The obvious remedy for such a situ- ation is to adapt the machinery of the law at present conditions and to modernise it. The Birkenhead Committee's recommendation took the same form as Burke's remedy in 1780, namely, to abandon the county as the unit of administration and to divide the Principality into larger districts. The same idea was embodied in a supplementary scheme put…

… IN the week of St. David in 1930, through the initiative of the Union of Welsh Societies, the Cardiff Cymrodorion, and Mr. Harry Farr of tne Cardiff City Library, a "Welsh Book Festi- val" was organized at the City Hall. A similar exhibition took place in the week of St. David, 1931, as did a Welsh Book Exhibition in Univer- sity at Swansea. It has been decided at Cardiff to continue the work, and…

… of a debate in the 27th Annual Conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union at Bucharest. Some further particulars of the discussion have reached me. It arose on an amendment to the resolution relating to the Disarmament Conference-the amendment being proposed by the French and Belgian delegations. They urged that the agenda of the Disarmament Conference should include the organization of a strictly defensive inter- national force to be put at the disposal of the League…
