Letter from "Almeric" [1st Lord Queenborough, earlier Almeric Paget, former President of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations] (Camfield Place, Hatfield, Hertfordshire) to WSC, congratulating him on his letter in the newspaper [on India], addressed to Sir Harry Goschen [Chairman of Epping Division Conservative Association, Essex]. Queenborough hopes it will make an impression on those Conservatives "who have a habit of sticking their toes in the ground when they once make up their minds as to the soundness of their views", and considers that it is essential that they close ranks, in the light of the urgent problems ahead in Britain, the Empire, and Europe as a whole. He also mentions the uncertain outlook in the United States, as affecting Canada, imagines from the warnings of the American Secretary of State [Cordell Hull] that the Soviet Union must have been carrying out intensive propaganda there, and believes that the English-speaking races must work together.
