National crisis I have watched with appalled fa scination the letters
which have appeared in your columns over the P, ast few months purporting to re',ate to the present political, indus`Nal and economic situations in which Britain is deadlocked. Not a !ringle letter appears to me to offer ',no slightest hope of more than tee
easement from one deadInok or another. All propose variainits within our existing systems a time when it is screamingly °nylons that these cannot again be Patched up effectively.
k A study of the past three 4,11hdred years of industrial rela1hionship will surely show that it as never been wholly successful that this nation has been tryIng to make unworkable political Ind industrial systems work. Both lc,c now at the point of collapse. ^i1 reforms and all concessions iffyithin these systems have been :110wed at sharply decreasing inf. cvals by demands for more re°tins and more concessions. Each c_onfrontation leads nearer to dis4s1ec. No laws, no plans for peace the docks or anywhere in indusexPedients. si„lrhe truth as I see it is that no gle party can bring to the nation
c unity (and so the strength) Ieeded to withstand the pressures T.orn, .onstantly exerted against it. No of single ownership and cont,
re or big business can rt;ec again keep peace in industry kan,y considerable period of time. st–ulY a system of government by of best men of all the parties, and inde. of ownership and control of "strY shared by workers (and se‘"ils), management (with rearch and sales), the private in
tr, -/ Can prove more than temporary vestor, and the state, will give to all our people the sense and reality of freedom instead of their present feeling of victimisation and exploitation on which the political extremes feed.
My own ' blueprint ' for such a system is freely available for all of your readers who care to write to me.
