FEWER "SPECTATORS"
SIR,—It is with a deep sense of regret I read the notice, uader this heading, as to the effect of the latest paper-rationing scheme in further restricting the sale of The Spectator. As a regular subscriber for just over 50 years I feel that it is a catastrophe that such a fine medium of public, opinion and comment—in my view the best conducted in this country—should be so drastically dealt with by the Paper Control. A newspaper-proprietor myself, fully conversant with the necessity of conserving paper-stocks, I am confident that the supplies of many
publications, using huge quantities in comparison with yours, might well be further curtailed with more justification, and no real loss to the community.
I may add that after reading my Spectator it is posted to a member of the Air Force, and then by him to a friend in the Forces overseas.
