THE OTHER HEROD

Snt,—Janus compares Mr. John Strachey's " abolishing the category of children of under one year " with the action of Herod the Tetrarch. It Was not the Tetrarch, Herod Antipas, but his father, Herod the Great. I warn you, lest ma " touchy " Government see in Janus' slip a sub- conscious slight, denying them association with greatness.—Yours truly, Selly Oak Colleges, Birmingham, 29. '.5s— JOHN FOSTER. [Janus writes: I apologise to the Tetrarch. Actually I did investigate the question with some care, but apparently with insufficient care.]
