... . Dear Sir., From Ireland I offer three comments on Mr. A. Webb's article dealing with Ireland. Ignorance of Ireland is so profound and so wide- SDread in England that it would have been wise to have made it clear that he wrote almost entirely of the Irish Free State. It is interesting, with tne general sense of his article in one's mind, to read these words of your agricultural correspondent ...

... Censorship in Ireland and England. Sir, It is regrettable that in the first numbers of so promising a journal as Britannia so slashing, so erroneous and unfair an attack should be made on Ireland by A. Webb. It is to him a crime that this country is about to establish a censorship in spite of the fact that we in England have a censorship of films and plays. We in this country have had a ...

... Dear Sir, I read with interest W. W. Wakefield's Impres sions of , and was surprised to learn that so little progress appears to have been made since 1890, for I remember when, at Neuen- heim College, Heidelberg, we played a team calling themselves, I believe, South Germany. They were a heavy lot but we were all over them. I should have thought that after so many years they would have put a ...

... . Sir, Industrial remedies proscribed by party politics aro becoming, instead of an industrial panacea, a mere political cancer, eating away the heart of our already fast decaying trade. Let Tory, Liberal, Socialist and Communist sink their differences and form a Nationalist party to save our million and a half of unemployed. Let us forget our insularity and take our cue fi'om our brethren of ...

... . Dear Sib, I am anxious to correct a statement made by H. L. Adam in the article entitled Behind the Scenes in Scotland Yard. He states that it is generally known that it was original!}' intended for an opera house. May I say that I know this to be quite untrue, as the present building was erected by my late father specially for the police, as the accommodation in the old building further up ...

... . Dear Sip, The impending general election is one which should occupy the minds of all who have the interests of the nation at heart. The programmes of the Liberal and Labour parties show no real or sound policy of bettering the conditions of trade and unem ployment. Their main election chances will depend on the courage of the Conservative leaders to adopt safeguarding wholeheartedly. Most ...

... . Dear Sir, As two humble but loyal citizens of the British Empire, may we bo pormittcd to record our appre ciation that Britannia has refused to bo drawn into the sycophantic adulation of the League of Nations with which we are growing so sickeningly familiar. Supporters of the League, and particularly members of the League of Nations Union, are strangely sensitive with regard to their pet ...

... . Dear Sir, In your article entitled Canada's El Dorado your contributor remarks as strange the fact that British boys do not respond to appeals for boys to go to the Dominions. I havo recently left school and I am now con nected with an Australian firm, so that I see and hear a good bit about Australia I feel that I should very much like to go to one of the Dominions. Yet what arc the ...

... . Sir, May I trouble you with a letter in reply to the reference made by your contributor, Samuel Johnson In spite of what he says, I am afraid I must still maintain that the famous examples I quoted do illustrate the effects of alcohol or of drugs upon intellect, and do demonstrate the deterioration which follows excess especially in susceptible individuals.1 That their intellectual output ...

... . Dear Sir, In Gilbert Frankau's article, Free Trade or Fair Trade, he makes this statement In an article published some eighteen months ago, entitled 'If I were Prime Minister,' I called for the break ing off of diplomatic relations with Bolshevist Russia and this Conservatism has done. Seeing that, as a direct result of that break, unemployment has increased, might I be permitted to ask ...

... Sir, If I may supplement Mr. Gilbert Frankau's trenchant reply to Sir Herbert Samuel in your issue of November 2nd, Free Trade obviously is wrong for a nation, seeing that originally it was conceived, not by Adam Smith, but by the French Physiocrats, from whom he took the theory, as being only applicable to the entire world as one economic unit. Adam Smith, who was keenly patriotic, however, ...

... . Sir, Your contributor, Samuel Johnson, says that it would give him infinite pleasure to be the one man in Europe making easy money out of our late allies (moaning the Americans). Some are doing this. The head export on art and antiques of the United States Customs Depart ment says that American travellers returning from Europe are bringing amazing quantities of so- called objects of art ...
