[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] not your correspondents
who are in favour of Prohibition address their letters to the Times or some other daily paper? I have not seen more than one letter on this subject in the Times, whereas week by week strong letters appear in the Spectator. Only a certain class of mind reads a weekly paper such as yours, whereas a daily paper is read by all. If these letters were addressed to a daily paper they would be within the reach of all and might better help to form public opinion.—I am, Sir, Ac., H. M. C. [We too hare noticed the strange absence of letters in the daily Press on the Bread versus Beer controversy, but we do not attri- bute the absence to the lack of letters addressed to the editors, but to. their unwillingness to publish them. The Daily Chronicle and the Glasgow Herald, both of which have done perfectly admirable and most courageous work in this respect, are exceptions. As a rule, however, the Press, though so anxious about the food problem, has for some reason or other bucked the drink side of the question.—ED Spectator.]
