SIR JOHN REITH'S CHANCE
SIR,—Surely the one way to rebuild London is to get out the plans that Christopher Wren made after the Great Fire and to put them into execution without alteration. After 30o years of obstruction, financial at the time and architectural since, it would be possible at last to realise this greatest dream of town-planning and to prove that there is such a thing as Progress. The main feature of Wren's London was to be a great boulevard running from a " certain well- known cathedral " to a " well-known highway in the south-west" flanked by appropriate buildings. With this to go on with, the speculators, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, the multiple stores can
do what they like with the rest.—Yours, &c., R. GLYNN GRYLLS.
Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton.
