Snt,--Janus'.timid approach to the possibility of governrpent and opposi- tion
being represented in our delegation to theeventual peace conference is surprising. The U.S. Alain_gation to San Francisco repsesents both the government' and-the opposition, though presumably the:Administration accepts responsibility for the delegation's work his statement that "the way to-secure an all-party delegation at a conference. is to have an all- party government at home " is even more odd. America clearly does not think so.
The advantages of having a delegation which represents at least the government party and the largest opposition party are obvious. It enables the non-government party to influence policy in directions likely to obtain wider support for it at home. It removes the other nations' fear that we might 'go back on our foreign policy if we change' our goVernment. At home it makes democratio-,-procedure possible. We who believe in a revo!ution in oni social life.and organisation are left fear to work-for it. The desire to- Show one -front in foreign-policy no longer binds us -to accept a home policy which- we believe to be wrong.—Yours faithfitilpi -
