LIBERALS AND LABOUR
LIBERAL.
(To the Editor). Sir, — I have read with-interest the letter of C. J. Tuck on past Liberalism and Conservatism and his comparisons with the policy of the late R. J. Seddon and the Labour Party. I take it that he means the ^present Labour Party, though he does not mention their name in the article. As a lifelong Liberal I ean remember well a publie statement made by the great Liberal leader referred to. That was "the time has arrived when we must call a halt in the matter of Soeialistic legislation in this country, otherwise we will end in disaster." A great many leaders of industry and commerce say the time is much over due, but the disaster predicted is here. The Labour Party of to-day are the extremists of the old Liberal and Labour who tried to push their leader too far and when met with refusal, made a breakaway from the fold and formed a party of their own. In conclusion, Mr. Tuck's ref erence to the brains of forty Coalition members is only abuse and will be treated as such, as evidently Mr. Tuck is not capable of judging whether a person has brains or not. — I am, etc.
