KEIR HARDIE
Sir,-The protest of "Blimp" in your issue of the 22nd inst. prompted me to wish to associate myself with the BBC in paying a tribute to "that dreadful Socialist Keir Hardie." I was neither a follower nor an admirer of some of his /-methods. But I met him one day, and the contact changed my opinion of the -man completely. I had occasion to visit the House of Commons one day to see a certain member, He was waiting to catch the Speaker’s eye, but sent Keir Hardie to see me. As it turned out, I was glad this .happened. Keir Hardie not only took endless trouble to do what I wanted, but did it in such a beautiful way, that I wondered if I was doing him the favour. I might be able to pay "Blimp" a similar tribute if I knew him.
