" SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR SCOTLAND."
The Duke of Montrose quotes a Nationalist candidate as saying that " Scotland is the only white nation in Europe that does not manage its own affairs." (By the way, why " white," and is " Scotland " strictly a nation or a country ?) What of Wales ? And is not Wales also a " subordinate part " of the U.K. ? Kelts in Wales are as different from the Saxon as the Scots are, and Wales has had special kinds of legislation and calls for more ! In short, all the claims advanced for Home Rule in the North can be advanced for Home Rule in the West of this little island ! Plans exist for a Welsh Parliament, and some say a site for the building is not one hundred miles from Cardiff Castle ! A " federal structure committee " for devolution might not be a bad thing for us here as in the case of India.—D. JEFFREY WILLIAMS, 82 Boundary Road, N.W. 8.
