SIR,—SO long as the question of nationalisation is approached by

politicians, whether on the one side or the other, in a doctrinaire spirit, there is little hope of that final solution for which in- dustry is so anxiously looking. It will remain condemned to be the eternal battledore in the game of shuttlecock. Why cannot we forget party politics for a little, approach the problems of in- dustry in a practical spirit and solve them in accordance with practical needs rather than seek to impose upon them the purely theoretical for- mule of the party political programmes?—Yours faithfully,
