BUCKET SHOPS AND THE POST OFFICE
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—Some time since the Attorney-General considered it advisable personally to warn the public, through the B.B.C., against the activities of Bucket Shops." A few days ago I was surprised to receive a circular from, quite obviously, one of these firms, with a Business Reply Paid envelope enclosed.
It seems most extraordinary that firms should be given special facilities for carrying on their work by a Government Department, while a high legal official is broadcasting warnings against dealing- with them.—I am, Sir, &c., Trinco, Durrington, Worthing. R. A. B. ADAMS.
[But for the Post Office to withdraw its services at will would involve a discrimination which it is in noway qualified,: to exercise.-En. Thi Spectator.]
