SNOBBERY AND SUPPRESSION

SIR,—Randolph Churchill falls into his own net. He swipes at three popular papers for reporting only the snob-appeal election of the new Oxford Union President, Lord James Douglas-Hamilton, and then shouts the odds for the new Cambridge President, plain Mister Charles-Edward Lysaght, because he is 'tolerably well connected.'

As he swats at The Times for ignoring both elections, Mr. Churchill obviously feels that the termly election of Oxbridge Union Presidents is of national importance. Can we expect from him soon an anti-snob-appeal campaign against the sinister suppression by the press of vital Presidential results in Glasgow, and Aberystwyth, and all the rest?
