SIR,—Readers who saw the very moving statement by Chief Luthuli,

President-General of the African National Congress of South Africa, printed in your last issue, may be interested in knowing that the extracts published come from a much longer inter- view with him by Miss Frene Ginwala, representing the magazine Africa South. It is, to our knowledge, the first sound-recorded interview with him to reach this country from his present place of exile, and it is to be hoped that a way will be found for the widest possible audience to hear the whole of it.

The extract on the boycott is available for loan to meetings from the Boycott Movement.—Yours faithfully, ROSALYNDE AINSLIE
