EQUALITY WITH ENGLISH,

Following the recent protest.by. Welsh members of Parliament against the Post Office's refusal to send a deferred rate cable in Welsh to Canada the Postmaster General has agreed to make the change demanded. His decision is announced in the following latter received by Mr. Haydn Jones, M.P., for Merionethshire:

"I have now gone fully into the question of the use of Welsh in international telegrams. I have come to the conclusion that we shall be justified, in taking such riska aa are involved in allowing Welsh to be used in both daferred. and full-rate telegrams on the same footing English. I am arrang ing for the details to be put through as quickly as possible, and hope to introduce the new facility in the course of a week or two??

The rejected cable, was a greet- ing "Eir oee lwyddianus" ("A long and successful life"). Welsh M.P.s can now celebrate their victory with the toast of Hir oes Triath Gymtaog" ("Long life to the Welsh langu age").

The majority of the Clubs have now completed their matches. Club de Recreio seniors lost away to Bowling Green Club and they have one more moeting at King's, Park. Another senior match this week which will attract much attention is the return game at Civil Service with the champions. In the junior division the Yacht Club have to meet Taikoo, and the latter have also to play at Kowloon C.C. The positions in the league are likely to change slightly after the close of these matches. Taikoo seniors are in third place, but the Bowling. Green might get ahead of them by one point if they win at King's Park. The Yacht Club have done quite well in getting close behind the "big two of the junior league. Taikoo can only claim this place if they win both their matches, but the Yachtsmen will have a lot to say in this matter when they meet in their outstanding fixture...

The following are the records of the rinks which have been useful to their Club during the season:---

FAITH LOST IN RED LEADERS.

Paris, August 21. The strike in Northern France is collapsing and' has completely ended at Lille where the unions have accepted the compromise suggested by M. Laval, the Miniator of Labour, whereunder the employers undertake to increase wages in the event of a further rise of the cost of living.

While however work will be re sumed at Lille on Friday, the dis pute at Roubair and Tourcoing is not yet settled chiedy owing to the attitude of the local chairman of the federation of textile industri- lists who, however, is being severe- ly criticized in his own ranks.

Moreover, it is believed that the -workers are slowly losing heart and. faith in the Communists in whose bulwark, Halluin, riotous scenes ensued when it was discovered that the Communist leaders had used the relief funds of the worker, for more party purposes while the Upatrikers and their families were 118 starving.
