CIVIL LIBERTIES
Sir,—l am astonished that you riyjuld read into the aims and objects our Civil Liberties Council so ooor an opinion of the liberties we j o w possess. I, for one, feel, as you 4c that in this country we are tolerably well off in that regard, and t should be happy if it turned out ♦hat there is really nothing here for a Civil Liberties Council to do. But pjch councils have not proved superfluous even in countries (such as tbe United Kingdom) with a still better record than our own. And your own recent reports of the proceedings cf the RS.A., and even of Parliament, jnake it clear that there are individuals who would take chips out of our liberties if they could; they need to be watched, and answered.—Yours, A. N. PRIOR. July 17, 1954.
