Money supply
Sir: In 1922, while on a Mediterraean cruise in SS Adriatic, I heard an American who had just spent the afternoon in Haifa, say that he had seen some Arabs. Entirely out of my own head I invented the story that he had seen "some genuine Bedouwine A-rabs." Last year, fifty years later, I heard the story coming out of my own radio.
The "money supply" thought has travelled more quickly. Scarcely a city editor has not written or commissioned an article on the subject. and, last Monday, it was on Panorama.
I really think we deserve to give ourselves a pat on the back over this, me for mentioning it in two short letters, and you for the extraordinary width of readership among intelligent people attained hy The Spectator!
