"The nudists," said The Daily Express editorially on Wednesday, "try

to occupy public attention, but they are disregarded more or less." Not, at any rate, by the Express, which gave more space on Monday to reporting the nudist conference than any other paper I saw. But the suggestion that nudists should be let alone and not advertised is sound enough. The tolerant British public has already developed a sensible attitude on the subject, and will no doubt maintain it if the nudists have the wisdom not to be obtrusive. So long as they ask for nothing more than special beaches where they can bathe as Shelley did no one will worry much about them.
