Cartoon artists

Sir: The cartoon on your front cover today (October 23) is skilfully drawn and very amusing, but its implications are false.; When Monnet and Schuman helps,' to found what has now become the European Community, their Inn, was tp put an end to much of wins` your cartoonist represents; tbeY sought to "light a torch in the, dark jungle of international anarchy and egoism." Surely the point escapes you. G. V. Harries 19 Eldorado Crescent, Cheltenhain Sir: Parliament is about to take ad great historical decision. Proanti-marketeers are passionatel concerned, in this past impala and declining Commonwealth el to secure our future in matters.° British influence, western securitY, national identity, full emploYfreilt trade and agriculture, now that vi are no longer a great world poW,.er; Your latest contribution to tl.1.1, vital debate is a caricature show; ing Britain cringing before Naps leon, Hitler and other tyrants. How much lower will The 9P0' tator sink in tastelessness? Molly C. Shal
