LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"H.
L."
THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN » Sir, — The preyailing note in the conservative election propaganda is the confident assumption that any old political machine js assured of permanency, and that with more oil, a little streamlining and a coat of bright enamel it can be rnade to last for eyer. The fact that in war guhs, tanks and planes which are proyed mpst effipient today have to be discarded as obsolete a few months later, and replaced, is ignored. Also, the fate of tfiose wonders of 25 years ago, cars and "lizzies," later de§cribed as ■ "road lice," which landed in a ereek and would not budge, and when halfway up a steep hill would stop, grunt and sneeze, but refused to move, whieh are today museum specimens, is also ignored. It • is assumed that only the political machine lasts for .ever, but it will not. Politics have to obey the law which operated through life. Victorian capitalism is fated to pass on, even as "ultimate socialism" will in time have to pass on in jts turn to make room for something better. Yours etc..
Levin, Nov. 1.
