BEVANISM SIR,—We read so much in all sections of the

press of the 'greatness' and ',brilliance' of Mr. Aneurin Bevan that the public is thought- lessly beginning to invest him with these qualities, just as, through much advertising, it attributes a super-excellence to certain well- known detergents and patent medicines.

During the war he was aptly described as being what be now is to his own party, 'a squalid nuisance.' What else has he ever been?—Yours faithfully,
