SIR,—I was delighted to read Mr. Francis Boyd's .admirable summing-up
of the Conservative conference at Llandudno. I attended as a rank-and- file delegate for a working-class constituency, and I was hoping that a message would be given explaining the future ideals and intentions of the party so that the ordinary man and woman who voted Labour last time could really understand that we are not just a class party but that we are concerned with the well-being of the nation as a whole. Unfor- tunately little was said on this point.
In common with many other Conservatives my policy is quite straight- forward. I stand for full employment, equal opportunity, basic minimum standards, a real partnership in industry, the maintenance of the highest standard of living and the dispersal of wealth and power amongst the people. I venture to suggest that if Llandudno had emphasised these points we should be going a long way to winning the next election. The people want to know what we are up to. Anyone inside the party knows all right, but above all we need to get it across to the twelve millions who voted Left in 1945. Then I am quite sure they would start thinking a little differently.—Yours faithfully,
