TELLING THE WORLD
Snt,—Of the thousands of people addressed on my recent American tour, I note that only two have objected to some things I said, and they are both British.
• It seems, therefore, that the large majority I addressed on the advantages of free enterprise are reasonably satisfied with 'the American way of life.'
Doctors' and dentists' charges are higher in America than here—so are hair cuts. But wages also are more than double. Doctors and dentists may charge what they like in America: but even that is less un- desirable than refusing information to the press as to how the ratepayers' money is spent in England—which is the latest activity of Socialist Councils in this country.
In Birmingham, England, the Socialists lost 000,000 on the Municipal Housing Estate last year. It would take a lot of doctors' and dentists' overcharges to equal that amount.
Therefore, despite the views of your correspondent E. Cumberbatch, I shall continue to proclaim that free enterprise is better than socialism. That liberty is better than restriction: and that dictator- ship by socialist and trade union govern- ments might be far worse than the charges of American doctors and dentists—or even the British National Health Service, as at present constituted.---Yours faithfully,
NORMAN TIPTAFT 186 Hamstead Road, Birmingham, 20
