LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

(1) Letters to be considered for this column must not exceed ISO words. They should be on only one side of the paper; preferably typewritten, otherwise clearly written in ink; and ample margins and space between lines should be left for convenience tn sub-editing. (2) A legible signature and full address—not a P.O. Box number are required whether these are to be printed or not. (3) The correspondent must say whether the letter has been or is to be. submitted elsewhere. (4) The editor cannot return or keep any letter not accepted for printing; nor does he undertake to acknowledge or enter into correspondence concerning letters, although an acknowledgement will be made where this seems to be necessary or helpful. (5) As a general rule, correspondence on news items in other publications, or carried on radio and television, is not acceptable. L. F. J. Ross. —No space for such a discussion just now. Ken McAllister and Robin S. McAllister.—Not open here. Elderly Victim.—There is already such legislation. M. O’Neill.—Your complaint seems to have little to do with railways service. WJS—We shall try to have the information included in the cabled reports. Two Dinkum New Zealanders.— No space to repeat recent correspondence on Immigration. 70-odd. and Still Going Strong. —Too strongly; you exceed the word limit in our above rules. Teen-ager.—You should discuss it with your minister. We do not admit discussion of religion in this column. Example, not Precept—Not quite right; the Post Office has postponed Its increases until January 16. Ed Rankin.—No space for another discussion of alcoholism now, and your letter does not comply with the rules set out above.

tive rank of the various authors discussed in our World Authors Series. The inclusion of an author in the New Zealand section of this series indicates a geographic grouping rather than a qualitative one on a universal basis. Mr Mulgan’s literary stature is such that we believe he merits inclusion in any representative listing of New Zealand writers. We are not making a comparative evaluation vis a vis his rank when compared with such other writers as Zola or Sienkiewicz or Bliss Carman, from other national areas of the literary world.—Yours, etc., JACOB STEINBERG, President, Twayne Publishers, Inc.
