THE CALEDONIAN WATER-POWER SCHEME

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—Mr. Blake tells us that from a wireless debate over which he presided, it emerged that the Highlander does very much want the security of industrial employment.

He, in turn, will be surprised to learn that mass meetings of protest against this scheme were held in Glengarry, Fort Augustus, Glenmoriston and Inverness.

Furthermore, the Minister of Glengarry elsewhere publicly protested against the lack of consideration given to those who lived and worked there who, he said, dreaded the scheme, for they were not fit or able for an industrial world.

Your readers must draw their own conclusions.—Yours

[We cannot continue this correspondence. —ED. The Spectator.]
