Sit,—Whatever may be desirable in the dchnestic field, it has

long been the best tradition of dur national life that foreign affairs should not be treated as a matter for party controversy. It is only if our 'leaders, whoever they may be, can speak for a united Britain that they can speak with effect. It is much to be hoped that the leaders of all parties will keep Britain's foreign policy above the party maelstrom.—Yours faith- fully,.
