We have received a number of complaints about the article on the ‘demonstration! outside Transport House, which appeared on page one last week, The article, which was by the president of NALSO, was published because it represented . view current in Labour's student world, and not as a statement of editorial policy. As a matter of fact both editors were abroad at the time. The article has been read as implying approval for an assault on Mrs. Braddock, We do not think Chris Arthur intended this. Our editorial view would be that if Mrs. Braddock was attacked she has every sympathy: and the notion that it is justified to assault members of the Labour Party with whom one dimgrees, is entirely alien to us, We do not know whether the press allegations about the demonstration were accurate, but if they were, it was inexcusable. The situation in the Y.S. gives us concern because we feel that it is extremely important that every effort should be made to win the sener- 41 - election, and the YS should be assisting in this process rather than causing embarrassment to it. We very much endorse the views put forward by Richard Slements in Tribune last week,
