To "Spectator" Readers
With the extension of the war to Scandinavia Great Britain's paper-supplies, already substan- tially reduced, are now severely restricted. All journals, daily and weekly? will henceforward get much less paper and, incidentally, get it at a much higher price.
In these circumstances we appeal with confidence to the indulgence and co-operation of our readers. We shall be offering them after this week a smaller paper at the same price. So far as possible all regular features will be maintained, but war-time conditions are not peace-conditions, and they must have their consequences.
That for indulgence. For co-operation, we appeal again to all readers who have not done so either to place a firm order with their newsagent for the regular supply of The Spectator, or to order direct from this office at the special terms offered tem- porarily-2s. post-free for 4 weeks ; 6s. 6d. for 13 weeks ; I3s. for 26 weeks ; 26s. for a year. Newsagents can now stock no copies, or practically none, for chance sale, so that the paper, unless definitely ordered, may be unobtainable.
