" The Spectator " and the Crisis The fact that,
in accordance with our regular tradition, we have in recent weeks published a number of letters from readers who disagree with the views on the crisis expressed in our editorial columns, and from some who dislike reading views which are not identical with their own and are therefore cancelling their subscriptions, has led one or two friends of the paper to inquire whether our circulation is being adversely affected on balance. If that were so it would be an experience such as every paper which holds decided views and expresses them must expect to suffer from time to time. Actually our circulation has risen much more rapidly in the past six weeks than ever before in a similar period, and it is substantially higher today than it has ever been. * * * *
