To the Editors of The Crimson:
The Crimson's Election Day supplement contends that John Stuart Mill presented the philosophical justification of libertarianism. This is incorrect. Even Mill's most ardent defenses of freedom clearly rest in utilitatian concerns, whereas the doctrines of the Libertarion party insist on liberty because of a belief in individual rights. The distinction is significant since it produces a substantial difference both in the definition of liberty and in the nature and degree of the commitment to it.
I believe that the editorial policy of The Crimson runs contrary to libertarian tenets. I hope that The Crimson fully understands those tenets. Ted Chrisopher'79
