THE DUKE OF ATHOLL'S ARTICLE ON STEEL HOUSES
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—The article on " Steel Houses " by the Duke of Atholl in the Spectator of February 27th was quoted several times during the debate on the Weir house in the House of Commons on March 3rd. Mr. Ramsay MacDorald referred to the " very temperate and very impressive communication to the Spectator." He was followed by other speakers who read aloud paragraphs from the article. Sir Archibald Sinclair, one of the most fairminded of the Liberal members, stated, " I agree with what the Duke of Atholl has said in the article in the Spectator." The more reasonable attitude that has been taken in recent conferences between the Govern- ment and the representatives of the trade unions may well be partly attributed to the effect of your valuable article which gave facts about steel houses that up to then had not been generally recognized.—I am, Sir, &c., B. S. TOWNROE.
Hampstead.
