A Pacifist Hits Out

... . Dear Sir, May I congratulate you on the first issue of Britannia 1 It is truly a brilliant achievement. I assume that as your journal will contain much of a controversial nature you will throw its columns open to correspondence, and I therefore hasten to join issue with your contributor .Samuel Johnson on the subject of his remark under Pacifist Logic. Truly, we are not a logical people, ...

A Light in the Ashes of Delusion

... . From the Lord Dewar. Dear Sir, May the torches of Britannia i'lumine the winter of our discontent and be a light in the ashes of our delusions, because is not the light of civilisation fed by dark printer's ink, and the strongest light in national affairs, the newspapers To make something out of nothing and much more out of less, is the privilege and prerogative of those upon the Press how ...

Our National Accounts

... . Sir, I am moved by the second paragraph, in column 2, page 2, of your issue dated September 28th, to send you a copy of a letter I sent to the Editor of The Times on April 24th last. Needless to say it was not published. This very serious aspect of our national accounts ought to be probed further. Yours, etc., (Col. Sir) Herbert Bryan. To the Editor of The Times. Sir, I find some difficulty ...

The Unreasoning Communist

... . Dear Sir, I was very interested in the first advertisement of your new weekly paper, but as far as the first issue is concerned I am sure that the description of Mr. Gilbert Frankau's few straight words to the Conservative Conference will not help your paper to any degree of success. I can only conclude that the reasoning classes referred to by Mr. Frankau are the Communists, and, after four ...

Unsolved Problems

... . Dear Sir, As one of the multitudes that were over there, also as one who had almost reached a point of despair, raising a lone voice on the unsolved problem of unemployment and inter-Empire migration and settlement and inter-Empire free trade and inter- Empire industrial safeguards against other than inter-Empire industries, allow me to be one of the number (I hope a multitude) who will ...

To be Driven or Led?

... SIR, May I congratulate you on your first issue of Britannia. It is excellent, and very readable, except the first (page 2) political article. I entirely object to that. Think again. Mr. Baldwin is an honest, upright, Christian gentleman, and has done j well in his most difficult post. You cannot- drive the British people. A leader can only load a very little way ahead. I am no politician, and ...

A Plain Man in Trouble

... . Sir, In your journal of October 5th the description oi the Conservative Conference at Yarmouth by D'Egville there are two paragraphs to which I take exception. I refer to the criticisms on the seconders of Resolutions, viz. Such a man was Mr. Harrison, who occupied the full allowance of live minutes to tell us that he agreed with every word Sir Frank Meyer had said. Of course he does, ...

Scheming Politicians

... . bIR, I was amazed to see, among the correspondence printed in the second number of your excellent paper, Britannia, that not a single letter openly expressed satisfaction with your political views in the first number. As one of the younger generation, who sees his country rotten with scheming politicians, scrambling for scats at elections, pDromising anything to get into power, and wasting ...

Is Cockfighting Sport?

... Is Cockfighting Sport Dear Sir, The immense pleasure afforded to me by the first two numbers of Britannia was somewhat marred by the article in your second number entitled A Modern Cockfight. The author seemed to be of a mind that your readers were devotees of cock fighting. What I presume to be technical terms were used throughout his article, and I found it difficult to follow in this ...

Bureaucrats and Others

... . Dear Sir, Rule and hail Britannia she is a sturdy maiden and I must thank you for thinking the reader does abhor the turnover. I like the sly hits at politics and you voice my strongly held convictions about the Government's shameless surrender to bureaucracy. I wrote to the Daily News, as the protagonist of liberty, saying I'd rather go to prison than vote compulsorily, but of course, ...
