r or the defence , lacet of his Government's policy,

eSir: Like many of your readers, I am frequent and completely unfounded attacks on the Prime Minister. Mr I:leath is not obsessed by any particular .neither does he lack the qualities of leadership required of a national leader in a time of crisis. t I, am happy to observe that during :11!s election campaign the Prime honr°gramme more forcefully and, p —'utlY with more effect, than he t-Vi er did in opposition or indeed at any ,lne during the past three and a half rh'ears• I have long thought that the xtremely angered by your journal's Inister is putting across his jc'r Political fault of this govern,,f• has been its bad public rela).1°Ias. and my only fear is that this will tave been put right too late in the day scs,l,,save the country from committing "cide on the 28th.

sthe worst were to happen and a p'c'alist government elected, the e,,arliarnentary Conservative Party Orild comfort themselves with the ti°Wiedge that it was not their ih°'Icies or actions, nor their leader, nor sPecious liars, hypocrites and rnMunists who populate the Labour 'art the' front bench, which lost them 4,,e election, but their inability til'equately to inform the people of tbeir achievements and aims during "e Period of their Office. liowever I am confident that W.4hatever the Government's shortcomlthP's in respect of communication with iltfi electorate, the conscience of the WeekPeople will triumph in the next 0,s over the dark and insidious ou–igns of those who wish to destroy imreedom and lay us open to s'enoes from beyond our shores.
