LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

• Letters sent to the Editor for printing must be written in ink on one side of the paper only, and writers must send in their names and addresses in full, whether they wish these to be printed or not. 2 Writers must say clearly whether or not their letters are being or have been sent to other papers. j The Editor cannot return or keep any letter which for any reason is unsuitable for printing, nor can he acknowledge unsuitable letters, although this will be done where it seems to be needful, or enter into any correspondence. 4 Letters must not be of more than 150 words in length. p. Linklater. —You do not give your address. a Grateful Patient.—No space for letters of thanks, except in special circumstances. Ind of 70-Year Treaty.—The journal you name is notably unreliable on such matters. The agreement between Britain and Ethiopia merely provided for the withdrawal of British military administration from certain parts of Ethiopia bordering on the British Somaliland Protectorate. y W. Derbyshire.—The official time of a ship’s arrival is taken by the signalman on duty at the watchtower on the Gladstone Pier. The signalman records the official time of arrival and departure as ships pass an imaginary line which he sights between the two moles. This time is recognised officially by the Lyttelton Harbour Board.
