FOREIGN FUNDS FOR BRITISH PARTIES

[To the Editor of TILE SPECTATOR.] Stn,—If legislation to curtail the power and activities of private armies is intended would it not be well to take advant- age of the opportunity to prohibit the acceptance by political parties and other organisations for the alteration of conditions in England, of funds from foreign sources ? British citizens are well able to finance all movements for the improvement of conditions, political or social, in Britain and require no assistance to that end from outside.—Yours obediently, 82 Teignmouth Road, N.W. 2. ALBERT M. IIYAMSON.
