FOR SLIM JIM.

To the Editor. Sir, —In this morning’s Times I noticed a further effusion from the pen of our friend ‘'Slim (Slippery) Jim.” As usual he is careful to avoid the point and attempts to throw out another smoke screen. Surely a man of his wide knowledge and education is wasting his time writing to the papers. He should be in Parliament. I am still awaiting “Slim’s” explanation as to why he did not join the Public Service. I am afraid he is not the rough diamond he would have us believe but only a piece of common glass after all. Now, seeing he is so fond of giving out quotations I will supply him with the following: "Wa tse kow mong he tong.” This is an ancient inscription I discovered in a ruined monastery in Tibet, after having strangled seven large snakes which were barring the way.—l am, etc., CYNIC.
