Columnisi "baying at moon The Editor, Dear Sir: It seerns that every election, some "con- cerned" political observer feels obliged to awaken the people to the dangers of socialism and proceeds to illustrate the point by using the econornic prob- lems of Britain, as an example of what could happen here. This tine the lot has fallen to the author of Corridor Capers, that folksv column usually concerned with ratepayer's interests ini east Whitby. To a person with even an elementary knowledge of the British1 people and politics the argument is bý. lb fallaciois and insult- ing. The fact that mnany European countries have had social Democratic governments for many years is conveniently forgotten.' wonder what qualifications your writer lias that permits her to "sound the alarni". 1 suspect she is sinîpfly "baying at the moon"'. The spokesnian for the Conservative Party are reduced, once again to offeming sLîch 1pierile arguments for their election, the timie is surely ripe for a change of govern ment. Yours very truly, R.
