NAMES AND THINGS

Sza,—In Mr. Dennis Bardens' article " Public Relations " he implies that the Society of Individualists is a new political party. I beg your leave to disclaim this statement. The Society of Individualists includes all parties in its ranks—Conservatives, Liberal National, Liberals, and National Labour. It is non-party. Also, I would tike you to be aware that we are not embarrassed with the services of a Public Relations Officer!—Yours

The Society of Individualists, 154 Fleet Street, London, E.C. 4.

[Names are names and things are things. In April of last year a Mr. Deryck Abel, described on this society's notepaper as "Editor," addressed to a person of some influence this encouragement to spon- taneity: " I am wondering whether you would care to write a letter of something like goo words on your subject for The Spectator. If so, our Press department is gladly at your disposal."—En., The Spectator.]
