"BLOOMSBURY LIGHTHOUSE "
Slit,—In your issue of August 1st you published a letter from " Holborn Warden " complaining of the ineffectiveness of the Eadc- out at the Ministry of Information. To this letter there was the following postscript:
" One often hears it asked why the building is not camouflaged; several people in the Ministry have told me that this has been forbidden by the University of London, who don't want their new walls spoilt. As deaths in the immediate neighbourhood have reached three figures, I hope this story is a canard."
The suggestion thus made in respect of the University of London is both untrue and unfair and I shall be glad if you will immediately publish in The Spectator an apology for allowing an allegation of this nature made by an anonymous correspondent to appear without verifying the facts.—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Vice-Chancellor.
