MISERY IN WALES
QUEEN MARY’B REPORT CONVERSATION WITH KING (Times Air Mail Service) LONDON, April 10 .Queen Mary, who spent last w’eek among the unemployed in South Wales, rang up the King at Windsor Castle yesterday. Mother and son had a long talk on the telephone about the misery that Queen Mary saw in the valleys around Cardiff. She told the King that she had been overwhelmed by the pitiful conditions in which out-of-work miners and their wives are bravely rearing their ohlldren. Her telephone call was in fulfilment of a promise Queen Mary made to the King before she went to stay with Lord and Lady Plymouth In South Wales, that she would tell him aS soon as possible exactly how she found things there. H The royal tour has brought new hope into these grey valleys, and men and women of the Rhondda and the Llynflii are waiting to see what the result may be.
