PROPOSED LEAGUE OF BRITISH CITIZENSHIP. [To THE EDITOR or DEM
" EP ERTATQE."
Sia,—With reference to the letter of your correspondent " Loyal Citizen " in last week's Spectator, suggesting the formation of a League of British Citizenship, may I, through the courtesy of your columns, inform him, and any others similarly interested, that such a league is already in course of formation with a view to making it a national movement when arrangements are completed, and that their own active interests and co-operation will be heartily welcomed by the undersigned? The idea of such an association of citizens and citizenesses has been the dream of poets, patriots, and philoso- phers throughout all ages, and is perhaps most aptly expressed in Macaulay's well-kndwn lines: " When none was for a party, but all were for the State," he., and this was very largely realized during the late war, but the same co-operative spirit is no less essential to our peaceful successes as a nation, especially during the anxious times of reconstruction on which we are engaged. In justice to yourself, Sir, I would like to mention that the genesis of the present movement was an observation of your own made during the war.—I am, Sir, he., 28 Glengaraw Road, East Dulwich, .8.E. &tam ChzessE.
