RATIONING THE SPECTATOR "

Sm,—My letters usually criticise something or somebody! Today I feel strongly inclined to write in support of " Janus's " remarks on the inequality of paper-rationing. However, I would rather rise above that, in the same way as your issue of June 27th has overcome shortage of space. It was a slim paper I received this morning, but the lack of " bodily " food left your mental health noticeably un- impaired. I write not merely to praise—I cannot imagine you wanting merely that—but to encourage, in the hope that other staunch readers will do likewise, so that you may know that your efforts to deepen our moral and mental outlook are much appreciated.—Yours truly,

HERBERT C. ROBINSON.
