SIR,--I note that J. E. S. Simon, in his election
advice published in your last issue, repeats Lord Salisbury's concern for the feelings of the white settler, em- phasising the danger of driving 'Southern Rhodesia into the arms of South Africa.'
Perhaps Mr. Simon and his colleagues are not aware that there is 'a large body of opinion in this country that believes that Southern Rhodesia would not require much driving in this direction, as this is apparently the way she wants to go. Further, that it would not be a bad thing if these two countries were invited to leave the Commonwealth, as their record in race relationships is such as will damn the chances of Commonwealth principles in inter- racial matters being given much credence amongst other members.—Yours faithfully, S. H. uoTnikiss Woodbine Cottage. Manchester Road. Tideswell, via Buxton, Derbyshire
