In Dlackpool for the Trade Union Conference last week, I was handed a leaflet making the above demands and thought for a moment that I had stumbled on a backwater beyond the reach of Transport House, where Young Socialists are still permitted to hold political views. Dut this leaflet, and others equally radical, is issued by the Young iiberals ! - and is ap»varently having some effect on the growth of their organisation. Young Socialists, who hold and who have worked for such ideals, are unlikely to be tempted into a party whose history bclies the opportunist appeal which it is now making to youth, but there is no doubt that it stands to mop up much support from newcomers to politics. It is scandalous that Wilson's extreme right wing policies permit the Liberal Party - and in some instances even the Tory Party - to outbid us in radicalism. And it is a sobering thought that a Young Socialist who openly touted such views as the above would lay himself open to disciplinary action, or worse. Fortunately the liberal Party is likely to be no more successful than the Labour Party in curbing the ap-etites which it has whetted.
