Scope and Contents

Copy of a letter from [WSC] ([Home Office]) to [David Lloyd George] concerning the riots [at Tonypandy, Glamorgan] Wales expressing concern at the tension between police and rioters. Although the police are strong enough to deal with the situation, they cannot remain there indefinitely, and contact between the rioters and the military could lead to "consequences of utmost gravity". [WSC] appeals to [David Lloyd George] for assistance because of his influence in Wales and knowledge of the Welsh language, ending "Unless some real quality is put into this business we shall get into very deep water indeed". Unsigned typescript.
