FIVE MILLION LIBERALS?

Sta,—In your leading article of December 12th you mention the "five million Liberal votes cast in 1945." According to Whitaker's Almanack, the Liberals polled just over two and a quarter million votes in 1945, and the Liberal Nationals just over three quarters of a million.—Yours

faithfully, J. R. JAMESON.
