POINTS FROM LETTERS
SHIPS v. AEROPLANES.
Your " News of the Week " paragraph might be read that the Cyprus garrison was reinforced first by troops sent from Egypt by aeroplane. Actually,. ships (with hundreds of men for landing, heavy guns and a complete base of supplies) arrived at Cyprus from Crete, four hundred and eighty sea miles away, before aeroplanes (with only one hundred and fifty men,, no guns and no base) arrived from Cairo only three hundred and thirty sea miles away.—PanaLnax.
HOUSING IN EAST LONDON.
The Bethnal Green and East London Housing Association send us an account of their work and emphasize the urgent need for more flats. They are holding an exhibition from December 7th to 9th at the Central Hall, Westminster, in order to increase interest in the housing problem. The Association needs a further £5,000 of capital from investors in order to complete the building of their flats in Devonshire Road.
[There are few more valuable pieces of work than that of re-creating East London, one of the worst legacies left to the present generation to solve. We wish the Bethnal Green Housing Association success in its efforts.—En. Spectator.]
