SIR,—In your issue of January 22, Mrs. Ruth Price writes that a few years after the inception of the Liberal Party it became clear to her husband, Pro- fessor Thomas Price, that certain members were advocating violence and sabotage, and gradually gaining much control of the party's policies. I find this statement quite astonishing. Surely Professor Price had a duty to inform Mr. Peter Brown, the national chairman of the party, and perhaps even myself of this knowledge, and surely it was equally reprehensible on his part that he did not go to the police with this information. I can only conclude that he must bear a certain share of the culpability for the tragic chapter in the history of the Liberal Party. The fact that he was a professor of law at one of the leading univer- sities makes his negligence all the more blameworthy.
