SIR,—Mr. Randolph Churchill deserves su ppor t his campaign to raise the

standards of the Brill'o press, and it is pleasing to note that he. is n°, broadening his front to embrace not only ri nography but also unwarrantable intrusion into 1tt,

private lives of individuals. nit

In his campaign against press pornography rid Churchill courageously mentioned the names to offending newspapers and proprietors, and it IS be hoped that now he is attacking intrusion tsti private lives he will not omit to mention the ncts,,t. paper group for which he himself writes -'1r; Beaverbrook group. Lord Beaverbrook's have a creditable record with regard to pornogr0l' but on the question of offensive and inaccurate ';'1, trusion into the private lives of individuals conduct appears to be no better than that of tb rivals.

Mr. Churchill's supporters will therefore hope II his next assault upon the press lords will e00111, a blistering attack on Lord Beaverbrook and newspapers, and, furthermore, that if these nejl papers do not mend their ways, Mr. Churchill press home his point by a resignation somewhat' temporary than his previous one.
