LIBERAL FUNDS
SIR, — In your correspondence columns last week you permitted Lord Wootton to appeal for funds for the Conservative Party. May I ask if you will be good enough to extend the same courtesy to the London Liberal Party?
Liberals believe that the cynical party battles on important domestic issues which have characterised recent Parliaments are bringing Parliamentary government into con- tempt with ordinary men and women. The Labour Party's shameless electioneering in the pensions debate last winter can be matched by the Conservative Government's retreat from democracy under pressure in refusing a free vote on commercial television. Only more Liberal Members of Parliament, independent of the rigid diScipline of the two mass parties, can change this state of affairs. And this (like the promotion of Conservatism) demands money. We shall be very grateful indeed for any contributions towards the struggle for freedom (however large or small) sent to the Secretary of the London Liberal Party at the undernoted address. Every shilling will go to improve the chances of a Liberal candidate in the London area.—Yours faithfully,
