MEETING THE PEOPLE SIR,—If Mr. Gaitskell's motive in visiting North
Wales was to 'see for himself,' his memory must be as short as that of the average party stalwart. This was his second visit within nine months (not counting that holiday at—was it Ffestiniog?—where he so enjoyed the singing).
We in Plaid Cymru (the Welsh `Nationalist' Party) like to think he was brought down to steal some of our thunder. Our President, Gwynfor Evans, has a reasonable chance of winning Merioneth from Labour and a break-through in one constituency would have both the big parties worried throughout Wales.
Englishmen, by the way, need not look askance at the progress of Welsh nationalism. It isn't the bomb- throwing variety. We just want a chance to make as much of Wales as the Danes have made of Denmark. —Yours faithfully,
I. BOWEN REES Prospective Plaid Cymru Candidate for Conway Welsh Nation Offices, High Street, Bangor
