THE LIBERAL CREED
SIR,—In reply to Mr. Wainwright, I cannot imagine anything less likely to be effective than to maintain a party organisation when at the most optimistic other Liberal.Members who get to Westminster can has even a sporting chance of being successful, but, a Liberal has any chance of being elected in opposi- tion to candidates of the other parties, and when any only get there by the help of Conservative votes. Why fight on your weakest front? There is something to be said for forming or continuing a political party if it where it has not, surely the sensible thing is to ask, as the Fabians asked fifty years ago, in what hands there arc not more than three seats in the land where Power of decision really lies and to seek by per- suasion to influence the real possessors of power. The that Liberal thinkers might have a good deal of suc- Fabians had a good deal of success then and I think cess today if only Liberal politicians did not get in their way,—Yours faithfully,
CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS
