[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—You are very patient
with Mr. Hamilton Fyfe. Most of your readers do not care what he or his American friend thinks. I often read the Daily Herald, and while I recognize the sin- cerity of the Editor, I cannot compliment him on the spirit and tone of his subsidized paper. Mr. Hamilton Fyfe in his letter to the Spectator speaks of " the Golden Rule of Christ " and sneers at the belief of others " in the teaching of Christ." It is generally the way with these people. They write bitterly. They promote class hatred. They are always cursing every- body else, and then they claim to be the only exponents of true religion. It is all very well to denounce " the derelict Capitalist system." I have attended many meetings where that sort of fustian elicits cheers, and it is necessary to maintain any kind of circulation for the Daily Herald. But when Mr. Hamilton Fyfe tells the Spectator that " the religion for which the world is waiting to-day " is Socialism it is time that some
of your readers who are not " old people, I guess," protested against his nonsense.—I am, Sir, &c., Christleton, Chester.
G. M. V. HICKEY.
