FLEMING FOR PREMIER

SIR.—Mr. Ian Fleming imagines himself as Premier and proceeds to talk about his Ministers. Would you please explain to him that a Premier does not own Ministers but that the Premier and his colleagues are all Ministers of the Crown. After that he might like to try facing a fact instead of facing up to it.— Yours faithfully,

H. MAURICE PALMER
