A ROYAL COMMISSION ON LOYALTY
Sir,-My attention has been drawn to your leader (August 9) that concerned my suggestion that a Royal Commission should be appointed to inquire into the relation to loyalty to the Crown and Empire, of our educational and library system; -and I should now add radio broadcasting, It is very gratifying to me to find that a paper, which afforded unusual space for Douglas Seymour to make an attack on Great Britain for not paying its debts to the U.S.A., should be so perturbed at my suggestion, and so supply evidence of its im» portance and of the likelihood of its adoption, It is particularly gratifying to me-to see’ you gravelled for lack of argument with which to counter my reasoned statement, and to see you reduced to the ruse of making a futile attempt at ridiculing me
personally and an appeal to disruptive local prejudices. The cause I advocate is so just and great that your outburst serves only to reveal its greatness and its strength! It is, to solve the fundamental problem of democracy how to foster an enlightened loyalty without interfering with the free expression of gPinion by seekers of truth. j
