A. Gomer James, 18 Cecil Street, Manchester, honorary secretary of the Manchester Cymru Fydd Society,

The various societies of young Welshmen in north Wales, Liverpool and Manchester plan to consolidate themselves into a single organisation and establish new branches in the towns and villages of north Wales. They do not feel that they have the right to act in south Wales. Encloses a sketch of the scheme (A1/199a) and would like D. A. Thomas to show it to the other MPs from south Wales. Could D. A. Thomas attend the conference at Chester in early June? Would welcome D. A. Thomas's opinion and perhaps a letter for publication.

A. Gomer James, 18 Cecil Street, Manchester, honorary secretary of the Manchester Cymru Fydd Society,

Annexes a copy of a resolution which D. A. Thomas should second at the conference next Saturday. Would welcome an early reply from D. A. Thomas. The resolution approves the formation of a Cymru Fydd League as outlined in the draft scheme issued by the Liverpool and Manchester Cymru Fydd societies. It also urged the setting up of branches, an improvement in organisation and greater publicity for its objectives. The resolution was proposed by Thomas Gee, seconded by D. A. Thomas, and supported by Sir George Osborne Morgan MP.
