[To Tue EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Together with many

other readers, I am •-much gratified that you have again found occasion to refer at length to the Nationalization of Liquor. It will, I am sure, interest you to know that Sir J. D. McClure, Head-Master of Mill Hill School, on September 18th expressed his warm sympathy with the line you have taken, and added : " If my name is any use to the editor, by all means let it be known that I support State Purchase—not because I like it, but because it seems to me to be the only way of dealing with a most difficult problem."—

I am, Sir, &o., Dams CzAzia. 9 John Street, Adelphi, W.C. 2.
