CONSERVATIVE POLICY
Sia,—Disraeli, rightly proud of his Tory party, would have admitted much lack of imagination among the rank and file of his followers. The failing persists, and when Mr. Churchill is no longer an active leader of the party, it is likely to be without any compensating factor -active enough to foil the tactics of the Labour Party Socialists.
Millions will cry that Conservative measures of social reform 'are niggardly and granted only as sops to stave off the issue of State control. Some way must be found to unite the nation in peace as in war, and I sultmit that the Executive of the Conservative Party must' face up to the issue before it lays its plans for the election after this' one. Why not place indisputable national material assets under national control? With imagination the thing could be done without any worse effects 'than scaling- down the incomes of a very small minority. Failure:10 face•the issue squarely will, I am sure, lead to the extinction of Much that is best in assets which transcend the material-ones in question. • 134 Wheelers Lane, Kings Heath, Birmingham, r4.
