CIVIC LEAGUE AND PARTY
TO THE LDITOK. Sir,—Tho long letter from Mr. A. Parlane contains nothing that is new but only several things untrue. So far us it relates to the Civic League, the officers and members are nob concerned about what your correspondent imagines. His talk about "the unseen hand" is recognised as tho Beds' usual style of innuendo designed to appeal to classconscious prejudice. The league's' members aro not interested in any unseen hand or invisible foot, since such talk is mere nonsense. The suggestion that the league was pulled from outside is wholly untrue. We have said that the league is not a party, and do nut require to repeat it. Mr. Parlane swears by a dictionary as his authority for defining what I wrote. He might as well use a cookery book. When asked to explain what I meant, it was for me to explain, not a lexicon, a, dictionary, or any other book or person. That part of Mr. Parlane's letter which refers to me personally has nothing to do with the league; therefore, I will reserve it for unofficial reply. I am, etc.,
D. M'LAREN, Hon. Sec, Civic League.
