Cosgrave, MP?
Sir: Mr Cosgrave's article 'Explain! Labour differences' (November 1) 'thought-provoking but unfair in accusation of Labour politicians 35i inherently and inevitably, lovers d secrecy and conspiracy. It is not mereli; Labour leaders who enjoy showing °' their current knowledge to lesser !knowing colleagues. The Conservative

There are, prima facie, no mysteries. to anything to do with human affairs (and I think at once of Nietzsche and his "Menschliches Allzumenschliches").

On the Other hand, there are indeed to be found in all spheres of life men who are interested in maintaining their own Position above all else and men who sometimes genuinely believe that as el(Petienced, astute and able politicians, businessmen, generals, headmasters, etc, they are in a better position to judge aSiven situation, from whatever point °T view, than less knowledgeable: though perhaps more energetic colleagues.
I fail to see how Mr Cosgrave's comments have any political significance whatsoever — and perhaps that is Why he may some day become a Politician himself.
