Liberals and EEC
Sir: I would take issue with Mr T. A. Stanley (Letters, March 11 — ' Cynical attacks ') when he defends the Liberal party's attitude on he EEC issue.
I agree with him that the Liberal party was the first party in this country to advocate entry, but I feel he should be reminded that at that time we were being asked to help formulate the Rome Treaty, and that, therefore, it would have been beneficial then to have agreed to join in.
It is a different story now, however — now those rules have been laid down without us — now we are at a disadvantage and having to go cap in hand to join (though why, I fail to see!) — now all the facts are screaming out that we are going to have to pay through the nose for entry!
