LABOUR CAMPAIGN FOR THE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF THE
LIQUOR TRADE.
[To THE -EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR.")
Sin,—A Labour campaign for the public ownership and control of the Liquer Trade has been inaugurated by a Committee of prominent Labour people, presided over by the Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, M.P. It has been suggested that there are many sup- porters of the policy of public ownership and control outside the ranks of the Labour movement, and that many of them would bo prepared to contribute to the necessary funds. Up to the present the expenditure has been small, but the activities of the Labour Campaign Committee are now rapidly increasing; and substantial funds are essential if the campaign is to be successful. We are encouraged by the favourable reception with which the policy of public ownership and control has met in all parts of the country from Trade Union and Labour organizations; and we feel justified in believing that, given adequate financial support, the campaign will achieve its objects. We shall therefore welcome donations from those who sympathize with our general aims, and who desire to augment the funds raised from Labour sources. Subscriptions should bo sent to the Hon. Secretaries of the Campaign at 45 Meeklen- burgh Square, London, W.C. 1.—We are, Sir, &c.,
