Foreign corresponding
Congratulations to the Daily Tele,eraph's young Simon Dring who, accompanied by Associated Press photographer Michel Laurent, appears to be the only reporter to have avoided hotel-arrest in Dacca and to have come out of East Pakistan with a good account of how Pakistan's army crushed the Bengal revolt. The Telegraph's foreign service can be quite the most erratic in Fleet Street, very good at its best and awful at its worst. The innocent reader can sometimes be misled, for the Telegraph treats its foreign stories with uniform typographical respec- tability, a device which can attribute to the contents the authentic quality of their ap- pearance. The Telegraph has always possessed the capacity for bringing its foreign correspondence up to the quality of its domestic news coverage. It is good that it is now doing so, particularly since the new Daily Mail-Sketch does not look like taking foreign news seriously.
