LONDON. Nov. B.-(Special to The Bee)-
The latest and most important news in
British politics Is movement to unite
English Irish, Scotch and Welshmen who
favor home rule. The proposition is being
seriously urged.
The Anglesey Liberal association. re-
Gently unanimously adopted a resolution In
favor of federal home rule and called upon
the Welsh members TO cooperate with the
Scottish nauonalists in promoting the
movement. have now communicated further
the matter with every liberal organlza-
ton in Wales. The Welsh national liberal
council had similar resolution on the
calendar recently.
Plea for Union.
The covering letter of the secretary Of
the Anglesey association says: 81 earnestly
hope that you will bring this resolution to
the notice Of your association and that
your representatives will actively support
the motion. An alliance between the Welsh
and Scottish members will insure that
Wales and Scotland will be placed on the
same footing as Ireland as far a. the ques-
ton OF devolution is concerned while an
alliance between the Welsh, Scottish and
Irish members will make federal home rule
for the four countries an Issue second only
In Importance to the veto question. There
mover will be a more opportune time than
the present for the bringing forward OF
the claims Of Wales, as once home rule is
granted to Ireland. the inevitable result
would be that Scotland and Wales would
be- more than ever before overshadowed
by the power OF the predominant partner in
the councils Of the nation. 10 we take ad-
vantage Of our opportunity and secure a
measure Of devolution for Wales We will
be in far more favorable position for
dealing with the questions Of disesta bIish-
ment, licensing reform. education and the
land than We are at present on all these
questions Wales Is far in advance of Eng
land and she should be entitled to deal
with them upon lines in accordance with
the genius of the nation"
