Letters to the Editor

[In view of the length of many of the letters which we receive, we would remind correspondents that we often cannot give space for long letters and that short ones are generally read with more attention. The length which we consider most suitable is about that of one of our paragraphs on " 1Vnes of the Week."—Ed. SPECTATOR.]

THE NEW NATIONAL SERVICE

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In the leading article of last week's number of the Spectator you have set forth most clearly and cogently the purpose of the appeal which His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales made at the Albert Hall on January 27th.

It is hoped that those who respond to it, and have made up their minds what they wish to do, will apply direct to the headquarters of the national organization concerned ; but we ire also anxious to make it known that a Voluntary Service Bureau has been set up at 44 Russell Square, W.C.1, where those who are in need of further information can apply, 26 Bedford Square, London, W.C.1.
