A SOCIALIST BARONET.

It was with some surprise I read your subleader of last Mondav's issue under the title of "A Socialist Baronet." Do you not think it rather late in the day to write in such a vein of trivialities ? A true Socialist is never affected by titles, position or birth. " he be genuine it matters not whether he be s . are wealthy, property owner or economic 6 But Socialism, all the world over, does realise that such should be intelligently educated when at the universitv and made a close student ot just economics. "This is partlv the reason why most of our best Socialists are urned out of the universities, where those who are worth while are taught to reason backwards and forwards, which leads the better spirits to throw their lot in with all and sundry to rectify the falsities of latter-day capitalism. The young rich go there like "Sir" Oswold Mosley, "Bart." (the bete noir of your leaderette) and "Ladv" Mosley, ~lso the late Margaret Gladstone, the lamented wife of England s only Labour Premier, Rarnsav MacDonald. These could be multiplied by the hundred, as a little intelligent social-service conversation in first-class tourist resorts will quickly verify. AIUS LUCUTIUS.
