THE PASSAGE OF OBJECTIONABLE MATTER THROUGH THE POST.
THE following correspondence has passed between the editor of the Spectator and Mr. Sydney Buxton, Postmaster- General, in regard to the passage of objectionable matter through the post:—
" The Spectator' Office,
MY DEAR BUXTON,— Wednesday, October 30th, 1907.
I hope you will not mind my troubling you with the enclosed letter, but if you look at the papers sent with it you will see that the matter which has been reaching my correspondent through the post is of such an abominable character• that his indignation is justified. Of course, I know the question is a very difficult one, and I know also that the Post Office must have had the point before them very often. Again, I presume the fact that they have done nothing hitherto shows that on consideration they have found action impossible, or at any rate too difficult. However•, I do not suppose there can be any harm in raising the matter• once more, and I am sure you are the last man in the world to say that the subject is too trivial to bother about.
Yours very sincerely,
J. ST. LOE STRACHEY.
To the Right Hon. SYDNEY BUXTON, M.P."
