THE GENERAL STRIKE AND PERIODICAL LITERATURE

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR]

Sm,—You will be interested to know that although I am in a business which handles a very large volume of English periodical literature, your issue dated May 8th was the only publication which reached my hands by the current mail steamer ; nothing has reached this market (wholesale) from the English Press for the last two weeks and within my knowledge only a few dozen copies of such productions as yours have reached private subscribers within the last two mails. Nothing whatever has been available at the newsagents' counters.—

I•am, Sir, &c., • P.O. Box 1681, Cape Town.
