IMPERIAL PREFERENCE
Sir, —Now comes Ralph S. Wheeler, renowned for his socialistic tendencies and Anglophobia, to strike a blow against the defenders of Imperia] preference? I have been waiting for th,s. for G.A.T.T. is an attempt to control, on an international plane, production and distribution, while the I.M.F. hopes to control exchange. Therefore, one can understand the socialist support of these commitments. When so-called “conservative” governments and channels, which normally champion free enterprise and competition, suddenly drop their artificiality and champion international centralisation, it is extremely difficult to define the difference between the final objectives of socialist totalitarianism and capitalistic anarchy. Mr Lake has said that, as we are a party to G.A.T.T., “once irn port control is taken off it cannot be reimposed ” How, then, does the Labour Party propose to implement its policy under G.A.T.T.’ —Yours, etc., GEO. M. EDMONDS. June 10, 1956.
