THE ALBERT HALL
[To the .Editor of THE SPEcr.vron.] Sin.—An application for the .Albert Hall for the purpose of holding a meeting has recently been made by the Communist Pa-rty. This application was refused. The hall has now been let on a number of occasions to the British Union of Fascists. We wish to protest against this clear case of discrimination between political bodies holding differing opinions. The Corporation of the Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences is a public body, working under Royal Charter. It is, in our view, a grave matter when such a body reveals political bias.— Yours faithfully,
G. P. GOOCH, CHARLOTTE HALDANE, J. B. S. HALDANE, ALDOUS HUXLEY, JULIAN S. HUXLEY, &roam JAMESON, D. N. PRITT, HERBERT READ, HELEN SIMP- SON and LEONARD WOOLF.
