THE UNIONIST PROGRAMME.
[To THE EDITOR Of THE " SPECTATOR."
Sin,—Our aim should be to get the whole Unionist Party to adopt the threefold programme : (1) reconstruction of the House of Lords; (2) the Referendum: (3) the reform of the House of Commons. I am glad to see the British Constitu- tion Association put this third item prominently forward in your columns. It has been too much overlooked hitherto. I am glad also that they definitely include the "adequate repre- sentation of minorities," but I hope that we shall not be too modest about it. The adequate representation of minorities can only be secured by a complete scheme of proportional representation, and I hope we shall make it plain that nothing short of this will satisfy us.—I am, Sir, &c.,
A CONSTANT READER.
