"The Future of Bevanism"
SIR,—Owing to absence abroad I have only today seen your issue of October 31st. In this, under the heading "The Future of Bevanism," you say that it is difficult to see how a leftward swing in the con- stituency parties "can be made consistent with Mr. Morrison's pro- nouncement that the official Opposition must always regard itself as the alternative Government." You go on to ask how this "can possibly be squared with Mr. Bevan's assertion that the resolution at Morecambe calling for more nationalisation must be pressed home."
Mr. Bevanr has said, " It must never be forgotten that the heart and centre of socialism is public ownership." Mr. Morrison has gone on record that "we shall never be finished until we have got the nationalisation of all the means of production, distribution and exchange."
If you can find a distinction between these two pronouncements it can only be because you believe one of the speakers means what he
says and the other does not.—Yours faith(ully, WINSTER. Fivewents Way, Crowborough, Sussex.
