[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] Sin,—In common with Mr.
Wm. A. Thomson I, too, have been an avid reader of The Spectator for the best part of
thirty years, and I am glad to see that you remain unper- turbed by the announcement contained in his letter. I cannot help thinking, also, that his withdrawal of support
will be more than recompensed by the addition of many
new subscribers who are not only profoundly interested in the social problems to which you have opened your columns, but who welcome the discouragement of those silly and often dangerous inhibitions and suppressions which have all too long stood in the way of academic discussion.
Surely it is to those " honest-to-goodness " men and women for whom your correspondent presumes to speak that an unbiased presentation of the sex problem should appeal—not indeed that their ethical code is likely to be endangered by a wise knowledge of the facts, but that in a world of constantly shifting values, both moral and material, they should keep abreast of the times if their judgement is
to be of any value.—Yours, &c., F. E. KAPPEY.
9 Bedford Road, Bedford Park, W. 4.
