Stn,—The Forward Britain Movement is not walking backwards for Christmas
or any other season. It is the Spectator, arm in arm with fellow-smearers the Mirror and the Mail, that wants to lead Britain into the backwater of Europe.
Briefly, our proposals are that Britain should be the cornerstone of an economic alliance based on the Commonwealth and EFTA and that we should seek to exploit opportunities in South America and the Communist bloc.
It may happen that this alliance will decide to act in concert on certain political matters as they arise, but there will be no political treaty. Contrast this with our position in the European Political Union, as much a part of the Treaty of Rome as the European Economic Community, in which we would be forced to abide by the will of the majority on every political decision.
