McCARTHYISM

SIR,—If Mr. W. Kent Power (Spectator o June 11th) loathes McCarthy and McCarthyism,' he should take the trouble of acquiring a copy of the April 1954 issue of The Progressive, founded in 1909 by Robert M. LaFollette, Sr., and published i4 Madison, Wisconsin. In it Mr. Power will find about fifty good reasons for impeaching McCarthy.

What the American politicians who could stop McCarthy lack is not the means to deal with him—but a simple four letter word; GUTS.—Yours faithfully, PAUL TAI30Ri
