LIBERALISM AND YOUTH

[To the Editor of the SpEorxroa.]

Sin,—In your sympathetic article on the Liberal Crisis you -write "Rut we hear too little of young Liberals ; from Oxford and Cambridge we hear much of young Socialists."

• I feel that I should be lacking in loyalty to my party if I allowed such a statement to pass unchallenged and un- qualified. I will qualify it by this fact. Since I have been at Oxford there have been nine Presidents of the Union ; none have been Socialists, two have been Conservatives, seven have been Liberals.

It is superiority such as that which can afford to ignore the more obvious forms of publicity practised by the Junior Progressive Party.—I am, Sir, &c., ROGER FULFORD, President, Oxford Univ. Liberal Club.
