SIR,—May I correct a misprint in my article Congo Nerves

printed last week? It read Sir Edgar White- head is 'kept out of touch with the African masses by . . the incompetence of the capital's Native Affairs Department.' Capital's' should have been 'colony's.' It is important that the Native Affairs Department is a ministry of the Southern Rhodesian territorial government with wide powers over Africans, and only Africans, in the whole colony.— Yours faithfully,
