MR. YEATS'S ANTHOLOGY

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] Sur,—In a review of The Oxford Book of Modern Terse in The .51.oeetator of November 20th Mr. Hayward writes " Kipling and Pound are poorly represented because the Clarendon Press would not pay for their work." The book has been immensely expensive because all the contents are copyright. As I had a fixed sum for payment of authors I decided on my own responsibility that I could not afford more of these expensive writers. --Yours, W. B. YEATS.
