An Giblein, 1940. AN GAIDHEAL.
Ill
Dear Sir,—It should be one of the peace aims of
An Comunn Gaidhealach—perhaps one of its efforts
in time of war—to establish a hostelry in the High¬
lands to which native speakers, those less proficient
or learners could resort to speak Gaelic and hear
Gaelic spoken. Scattered throughout the country
there are many agencies for the cultivation of
Gaelic; but there is no centre, and now no village,
or district where one can be certain that Gaelic is
spoken. To go to some parts of the Highlands and
show any enthusiasm for Gaelic is merely to attract
the derision reserved for a crank. Yet one goes to
France—in time of peace—to perfect one’s under¬
standing and knowledge of French.
No innkeeper can bo expected to turn away non-
Gaelic speakers, even if he were willing to ignore the
conditions of the various Acts. The only alternative
is to found a hostel where Gaelic only will be
spoken. That raises many important questions of
management; but these can be left for consideration
until some such project has been approved.—Yours
truly. S.
