Euromess
Sir: What Roger Berthoud calls a 'growing level of agreement between proand antiMarketeers' is entirely the result of proMarketeers like himself coming to realise the truth of what anti-Marketeers have consistently said and predicted. What a pity that he did not listen earlier. Apparently he still has some way to go to full enlightenment, since he implies that there has been some benefit to our balance of trade from membership. That is difficult to reconcile With a deterioration of £2 billions on physical trade, and the effect of the new trade patterns on `invisibles' has been appalling — notably on receipts from shipping. In view of all this, it is amazing that he can want us to join the EMS, which simply compounds the Euromess that we are in.
