WHAT WALES WANTS
Snt—Professor Gruffydd's not unsympathetic reference in the Spectator of March 11th to the Conservative Policy for Wales includes an all too common fallacy. He refers to the publication of the booklet as an evidence of "concern shown by English politicians over the affairs of Wales." In other words, " Conservative " equals " English." Nothing can be further from the truth. Not only are the contents of the Conservative Policy based entirely upon detailed discussions with and amongst Welsh Con- servatives held in all parts of the Principality, but from its first drafting to its final publication it has hardly been handled by a single person, who was not Welsh.
The Conservative Party is neither the English Party nor the Welsh Party nor the Scottish Party: it is the National Party, and hundreds of thousands of Welshmen are proud to be its members.—Yours sincerely,
