Welsh Journals

There are times when the stakes are too high for competition, however good- natured. It is my opinion that there is not room in Wales at the moment for more than one quarterly in the English language. If, however, you are going to be forced to compete, and since that competition will be mainly financial, may I make one suggestion ? It was, I believe, Giraldus Cambrensis who said that the Welsh were in their first attack more than men, but in their second less than women. Judging by the first three numbers I fear lest this should prove true of Wales also. Why not issue utility numbers for the duration ? I am sure that we will all continue to place our few coupons with you. With all good wishes from, R. S. THOMAS. From the Editor of" Sereny Dwyrain (Star of the East). F/O. T. E.

Cefais gipolwg ar gopi o Wales yr wythnos hon, a syrthiais yn union mewn cariad ag ef, ac yn enwedig ar delfrydau a'ch symbuliodd i'w gynhyrchu, Cariwch ymlaen a'r gwaith da, canys, fel chwithau, teimlaf yn gydwybodol fod yn rhaid ini oeddfedi y meddwl Saesneg i'r syniad ein bod yn genedl unedig, a chanddi ei nodwedd- ion arbennig cyn y medrir sicrhau iawnderau. Mae gennyf gyd-swyddog o Abertawe yma, sydd hefyd yn awchus am rhifynnau Wales. Amgaeaf ci P.O. am rhifyn i'r ddau ohonom-yn cychwyn, os oedd modd, gyda rhifyn Ionawr. Credaf mai y peth doethaf fyddai ichwi eu danfon i'n cartrefi yng Nghymru, ac yna medrir eu hail cyfeirio oddi-yno. Dyma'r cyfeiriadau:- (1) F/0. S. G. Thomas, 56, Odo Street, Hafod. Swansea.

"They who live in this unconquerable spirit can never die, and for all time will their memory serve to inspire humanity to Liberty and Freedom." Memorial to the Welshmen who died in Spain. APPEAL. Dear Friend,-We, the undersigned, have decided to launch an Appeal for a Memorial to commemorate the Immortal Memory of those gallant Welshmen who died fighting Fascism in Spain. It is intended that the Memorial should take the form of endowing either a Bed or a Ward at the new Stalingrad Hospital, in their names. It is fitting that a record of the valour of these gallant Welshmen shall be kept, for all time, in the historic city of Stalingrad. We, therefore, appeal to you to assist by sending a donation to the Hon. Treasurer, T. E. NICHOLAS, Glasynys, Aberystwyth. Signed SAM WILD (Commander British Battalion International Brigade).
