THE " COMMISSIONER OF POLICE ".

[To the Editor of the. Sri:Crayon.] Sin,—" We are asked by the Commissioner of the Police to broadcast the following." Lord Brentford may for five years have conferred with a " mythical personage." We can bear that idea with equanimity, it did not affect his success as Home Secretary ; but for the B.B.C. to imprint on the minds of millions of listeners half a dozen times weekly the fact that the Conunissioner of the Police is a genuine official shakes our faith to its foundations:- Whom can we trust to educate us now ? The hope that your military correspondent could be wrong is very faint. Please solve this painful problem for us.—I am, Hill Wootton House, near Warwick.
