While asking our readers ' help we do not want to

make a demand which may be misunderstood. We fully admit that we could continue to publish at 9d., not only without loss, but under favourable commercial conditions. But we do not wish to limit our readers, and so our influence— a limitation which this course might entail. That is our reason for returning to 6d., and this it is which gives us a right to ask our readers' help. This aspect of the matter will, however, be more fully dealt with in our next issue.
