COLOUR

SIR,—Will you at this late date allow a comment on Dr. Leach's review of Man. Race and Darwin in your issue of December 2? I am there said to have recommended that coloured minorities in Britain will do well to maintain themselves in partial segre- gation. Heavens! I said nothing of the sort. Mr. MacRae and I, according to Dr. Leach, have flaunted prejudices. The prejudice is in the other mind. - - Yours faithfully,
