THE LOST TRIBES OF READING

SIR,—In your issue 'of October 20 Monica Furlong contributed an article under the heading 'The Lost Tribes of Reading' in which she treated with disparagement, and with some humour, a booklet of mine entitled Some Problems of Race.

I do not mind this treatment because it leads people to ask for my booklet, and this has happened in this case .also.

I would be glad if 1 might tell your readers my purpose in writing this booklet.

It was to give God's clear injunctions upon a matter that can be fraught with grave consequences, and upon which there is acute division of opinion.
