LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

POLITICS AND DRINK.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Will you allow me to correct a slip which occurred in my article on " Politics and Drink " in your issue of Decem7 ber 15th ? On page 938, the figure of £1,000,000, quoted as the amount of the annual insurance premium suggested in the Bishop of Oxford's Bill, should have been £2,000,000. This alteration does not affect the argument, however, as a premium of £2,000,000 levied on the Trade would still leave it with several millions more of profits than it had before the War.— 4 St. James's Square, S.W. 1.
