THE RAILWAY STRIKE AND ITS LESSONS. (To THE EDITOR Or
THE " SPECTATOR.") Sin,—In your excellent leading article under the above heading you make use of the following words :—
"Of course the process of which we are now reaping the bitter harvest went on long before the war. The present writer has listened to many political speeches. Liberal speakers were every bit as much to blame as those of any other Party, be., Sc."
Is not this rather whitewashing the Liberal Party? Is it not a fact that Liberal speakers were the chief offenders? For example, what is the record of our present Prime Minister, as the pre-war principal spokesman of that Party? Let us be just before we are generous, and acknowledge that it is to the Liberal Party that we owe all this succession of strikes during war time. When we recall its other pre-war activities we must admit that Liberalism has been, and still is, our greatest enemy in this war.—I am, Sir, J. II. E. Rem, Colonel. 52 Sedlescombe Road, S., St. Leonards-on-Sea.
