SIR,—Mr. Randolph Churchill's huffing and puffing has all the marks
of conscious virtue, but I am afraid that this majestic discharge of hot air is spec- tacular rather than convincing. Mr. Churchill is. as he says, a journalist, but he has one advantage over the humbler fellows whom he so constantly attacks he .can write about the Royal Family and be on the side of morality too. How convenient! Participation disguised as denunciation is one of the oldest tricks of the trade, as any reader of the Sunday paper can see for himself, and I seem to remember that Mr. Churchill has frequently protested against it in others. In fact, it is difficult to see what possible good his original article could do anyone—apart from allowing a few devoted (not to say immolated) readers to peruse once again a letter which he had already published in your columns. As for Princess Margaret, I take it that most people will feel that she should be allowed to marry whom she pleases at' the time she chooses without undue attention from the sob-sisters, but also that there are many, many, many subjects of more importance.—Yours faith-
