CHANGING POLICIES
Sir, —In view of current evenft, I venture to quote the pregnant words of Mr. Winston Churchill: ''Let anyone, above all, let any politician, look back on the last 20 years, and see how violently external ailairs have forced them from the path they wished to travel. ... I have seen the Conservative Party a free trade party; J have seen them espouse protection; 1 have soon them repudiate it, and espouse it again and finally achieve it. "I have seen the Liberal Party abominate conscription, and carry it. I have seen the Socialist Party quite ready to abandon in office all the root propositions they advocated in opposition, and then go back to them when not longer responsible." This appeared in ]9.'!o, and the phrase " When not longer responsible" is a pertinent one. C.B.H.
