Sir: Thank you very, sincerely for publishing Simon Raven's article 'Common sense about colour' (3 January).
He writes as usual with uncompromising honesty, although to my disappointment he leaves it to be assumed that the immigration question is to be decicled in the interests of the present population of Britain whereas it is our children and grandchildren who must live with the consequences of any attempt to create a multi-racial society. If the attempt is made with- out hypocrisy, it must lead inevitably to inter- marriage between the races, anckunlike most of the changes we have produced in our environ- ment, a change in the appearance of the British people is one from which no certain benefit derives and one which Is irreversible.
In my own experience one frequently en- counters even amongst people who are usually well informed a blind 'refusal to consider the racial question in these terms. It is for this reason I have produced'the enclosed broadsheet,
in an attempt to unburden them of the guilt they are conditioned to feel by the quantities -of• multi-racial propaganda to which we are all exposed, and in the' hope that on being made familiar with the real nature of the issues in- volved they will support a proposal for the just, generous and humane repatriation of the -coloured immigrant in the best interests of the -children of all races.
I hope that you will continue to publish honest and informative articles of the kind 'Simon Raven has produced.
