ITS OR THEIRS ?

SIR,—On page 169 of your current issue you state that the term United Nations, representing a single organisation, is properly referred to in the singular and not in the plural. At the bottom of your last page I find, " PubliShed by THE SPECTATOR, LTV., at their offices." Is The Spectator a more plural organisation than the United Nations or is it possible that there is some inconsistency in the two statements?—I am, Sir, [Touche. But it shall never happen again.—En.., Spectator.]
