Sts,—The Beveridge Social Security Group, Sowerby Division (which we believe

to be the first of its kind in Britain), has been formed specifically to propagate in a non-party spirit the principles of the Beveridge Report on Social Insurance and Allied Services. We have the profound conviction that social security lies at the heart of any worth- while scheme to ensure a full life in the better post-war world envisaged by Mr. Winston Chtuthill and eminent publicists.

Our chief concern and primary purpose inlaunching the Group, which we fervently hope will not long remain the only one of its kind, is to ensure so far as- is humanly possible, that the Beveridge Plan does result in necessary changes in our social structure with the object of ensuring further progress towards freedom from the fear of want.—
