GRANTING VISAS

SIR.—Is your printer secretly in league with the Immigration Authorities in the matter of separating the sheep from the goats? By printing 'the' for 'her' in the final phrase of my letter in your issue of April 10, he has made that remark sound strangely goatish in style and sentiment. I was not putting forward the familiar argument about Europe as a Third Force, but the much more cogent one that Britain, if she cares about her own influence and prestige, cannot afford to remain pharisaically aloof from the rest of Europe. —Yours faithfully,
