COMMUNITY AND FAMILY ALLOWANCES.
Sir-The Listener has had its leg pulled. In the article "These Family Allowances" it quotes the reaction of a "Communist." Any Communist would ‘disagree completely with the, opinion of your "Communist." One does get rather tired of the eccentric statements of self-styled "Communists," who always seem to be accepted as such on their own statement without question-despite, in most cases, their obvious ignorance of the meaning of the word. Might one suggest that if a Communist opinion is wanted The Listener should find an authentic one? If a search is too troublesome, the Communist Party is listed fn the phone book. And to set the record straight -- Communists have for many yeats advocated family allowances.
