Sir,—Your correspondent in Thursday's isisue signing himself "What Next” might be classed as an unconscious humorist, and from the questions he submits your readers might be inclined to think of Rip Van Winkle, who went to sleep for many years, and it looks as though lie has never heard of the community values of land, production, distribution. or read any of the articles of the leaders of thought throughout the world on the necessity of change in these systems to keep pace with the evolution of (he world. His illustration of tlie men going shooting is an appalling affair, trying to compare a gun with laud, which is the birthright of the people aud which produces practically everything that the people of the world require to live on.
