[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—In reply to the letter from " Unemployed " in your issue of March 3rd, as another unemployed Liverpool man, may I, on behalf of the unemployed, strongly protest against his statement that because we are unemployed we think we are entitled (1) to live in sin ; (2) to marry on the dole ; or (8) that we are unable to exercise that self-control of our sex impulses which multitudes of employed men and women have to do before they are in a position to marry ?

Our position is bad enough without our adding this to the sum of misery of those we love and who love us. Work we do all want, and we trust it will be no long time in coming.
