IDEALS OF CITIZENSHIP
MR DAVID LLOYD GEORGE AND YOUNG WALES. Mr David Lloyd George, who was the guest of the Young Wales National Eisteddfod at Machynlleth, in Montgomeryshire, told how Owain Glyndwr, the Welsh national hero, began his campa'gn for a United Wales in that town. Addressing the children on citizenship, Mr George said seryicie was more important than possession. This was the age of pleasure, which they sjiould not follow. He appealed to all to serve the nation. They were on the threshold of life. He knew not what kind of life was in front of them. Perhaps they might have 1 quiet life, but generations before went through terrible experiences, and went forward bravely. It was the sight of the storm that he saw for them. Clouds were gathering. He did not know if it was the begimrng of winter or the end of spring. If the ideals of the League were kept, it did not matter what happened. They would be able to face storms without turning their backs. They would be able to climb steps without tiring.
