Is London the most polite large city in the English-

speaking world ? It would certainly appear to be so judging by the tone of many letters which have appeared in the Press during the past tourist season. One of these is from a New Zealander who, in a letter to the Daily Mail, pays a special tribute to London's policemen and tramway, omnibus and tube conductors. Londoners who deplore post-War manners should take consolation in the thought that to our visitors from across the seas the courtesy of our officials on train and tram is a source of never-ending wonder.
