17 MARCH 1950, Page 17

SIR,—Having been, like Mr. Cope Morgan, a Liberal candidate at

the general elections of 1922, 1923 and 1929, I should like to say a word in support of the views expressed by him in the Spectator of March 3rd. The Conservative and Liberal manifestos at the recent election show plainly that on the main practical issues the two parties are in substantial agreement, and I can see no virtue in strained attempts to draw distinc- tions which are either imperceptible to the naked eye or relate to matters remote from the realities of the present situation.—Yours obediently,
