Mea culpa

Sir: As one whose name has an alternative spelling my enemies prefer, I wish to apologise, with heightened sympathies, to Eric Homberger for referring to him as ' Homburger ' throughout my review of Ezra Pound: The Critical Heritage.

I should also like to point out that Pound approved of Mussolini's ideal of an economy "without usury," and not "with usury." Pound was wrong in this; Muss°, lini borrowed from foreign banks, including Morgan's, which Pound

especially disliked. Douglas Dunn 134 Marlborough Avenue, Hull
