LORD MILVERl'ON'S RESIGNATION
Sra,—The dismay with which Left-wingers greet any of their supporters who dare to think things out for themselves, and, having thought, leave their ranks, is clearly shown by the venom with which they have execrated Lord Milverton. What interests me about the letter you published from G. L. Phelps is the unsolicited testimonial to the growing strength of the Liberal Party. If, as he alleges, Lord Milverton has "climbed on the band-waggon," one may legitimately draw the inference—taking the expression " slimbing on the band-waggon" in its popularly accepted sense—that a place on the Liberal band-waggon is now worth seeking in Mr. Phelps's view. As one who has had "his shoulder to the wheel"
of the Liberal vehicle, I am gratified to learn from one of our opponents that the exertions have not been in vain. There is still room for other intending passengers ; there must be many in the Labour Party who disagree with its performance and future policy, and who could honestly support the Radical programme of the new Liberal Party.—I am, yours, z Market Street, Stretford, Lancs.
KENNETH LANE.
