Letter from Wales.

It would certainly help to balance things if Europe had a few newly emancipated smaller nations. The unique contribution of intellectual Dr. Conor O'Brien and the Irish contingent in the Congo illustrates that the most useful bond between Africa and Europe will probably be the fellow feeling of the previously oppressed. There still remain in Europe a few small nations without political self-government. Two and a half million Welsh people live on a mountainous peninsula of 8000 square miles on the West of the largest of the British Isles. The people of Wales as a whole, however, have little inclination toward independence. The kind of recognition from one's cultural group, which is also one's nation, is a luxury, according to the author, that the world could do with more of.
