FRENCH CANADA'S OUTLOOK

Sot,—We were very interested in Mr. Brogan's article in your issue on May 1st, particularly as it is unusual to see an Englishman's point of view on this subject. We would, however, like tc make several com- ments. The name of our former premier is Maurice Duplessis and not Armand. Possibly, Mr. Brogan was crossing the Richelieu river when he wrote this and his mind running on the great French statesman, the slip occurred.

We were very surprised by the remark that La Presse is the biggest paper in Canada in either language. Both as regards circulation and bulk (Mr. Brogan is ambiguous), we believe that according to official figures the Toronto Daily Star is larger. Finally, we are sufficiently broad- minded to believe that the Firth of Clyde is more beautiful than the St. Lawrence. But why "of course "?—We are yours faithfully, The Study, Seaforth Avenue, Montreal THE SIXTH FORM.
