LTo THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR.'] SIR,—It may be
of interest to your readers to know that such a work as you describe is in process in and about Sheffield at the present moment as a result of our British Empire Union campaign there. The work "started at the bottom " through the loyal co-operation of staunch working men, trade unionists all. Had it not been for this working-man nucleus nothing but sterile " propaganda" would have resulted. But now the British Empire Union is a force in Sheffield, and the Com- munists and Socialists are fully aware of it. We had a splendid reception at Dinnington on Friday night, a mining village that boasts a local Council of Action awaiting the day of revolution! We sounded a call to loyalty, and condemned the hypocrisy of those false " leaders " who fatten on the woes of those they profesk to represent. Not a dissentient voice spoke during the hour's appeal. The undersigned was asked to "come again soon." And it is only the lack of financial support that hinders a continuous campaign through the whole district, for funds are scarce, and it is only by dint of digging and begging day after day that we can carry on at all.—I am,
British Empire Union, 81 Rustlings Road, Sheffield.
