• TAX THE FOREIGNER
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—When reading the letter about help for Foreign Students in your paper of the 9th the old adage" Charity begins at Home," came into my mind, with the question, Why should the public of this country be asked to help foreign students ?
We have hundreds of students in several professions who are hard put to lodge and feed themselves, thenwhy encourage foreigners to study here and probably set up in practice and in competition with Britishers ?
I am of opinion that British subjects, black, white or brown, should be welcome to study and live at their own expense and when; qualified should return to their own part of the empire to practise their profession.
Aliens, of courpe, might be admitted but should be made to pay higher fees and should be excluded from practice in the
British Empire.—Yours faithfully, ROWLAND PRICE. ro Warrior Square, St. Leonards-on-Sea.
[This letter presents a point of view on which we refrain from commenting further than to observe that the letter on help for foreign students was concerned only with support for a foreign students' club, not for help for individual students at all.—En. The Spectator.]
