Wales has always been well represented in London. At the moment the Welsh community in the capital is larger than ever—so many families have migrated from the hard-hit industrial areas—and these Welsh people are particularly gratified at the formation of the new London Welsh Regiment of the Territorial Army. For many years there has been a London Scottish and a London Irish Regiment. Now the claims of the Londeti Welsh have been recognized. 1 Which of the three Welsh national emblems, the Leek, the Daffodil or the Dragon, will be adopted by the new regiment, recruiting for which is now in full swing? The authorities are still discussing the question. Mr. Lloyd Gedrge favours the Daffodil; in the past the Army has preferred the Leek; but I am told that the most likely choice is the Dragon.

Villiers, like L.G, had Cabinet experience and in his polit ties had decided leanings to the Left.
