SIR,—I have just been reading your issue of Septem- ber
25 which 1 found waiting for me here on return from contesting the seat at Rochdale. In it a Con- servative MP, Mr. J. E. S. Simon, QC, had written an article which not only showed that he had never read a word about Liberal policy on anything but also contained these pearls of wisdom : . . . a vote for the Liberal is likely to do con- siderably more damage to Tory representation than Socialist.
The Liberals' real aspiration in this election is to get a sufficient handful of seats . . . to hold the ,balance of power between the other two parties.
• • . to vote Liberal . . . will help to advance a Socialist programme which is fundamentally repugnant to those of Liberal temper and con- viction.
. . . the day of the Liberal Party is gone beyond recall.
The Liberal Party is dead—long live liberal- ism!
