Words can hardly express my grati- fication at having my point confirmed by the Liberal leader himself. Unless Mr. Grimond was just trying to be clever, of which I unhesitatingly acquit him, he must have thought there was a genuine analogy between the Liberal Party in Parliament and the group of Inde- pendent Conservatives. So do I. Our comparative quiescence since last May has been due (and I should
have thought this was obvious) to the fact that our differences with the Government are limited in scope,
that we are still Conservatives elected by Conservative votes, and that we are unremittingly opposed to Socialism. The fact that four-fifths of Mr. Grimond's Parlia- mentary Party are in almost exactly the same posi- tion does, of course, explain their own pacific demeanour, but so far they have not admitted it so frankly. It really does look as if they have had it.— Yours faithfully,
House of Commons, SW I ANGUS MAUDE
