We have shown at Mill Hill that, given good will
on both sides and given the devotion and under- standing which has been forthcoming from house- masters here, such a scheme as ours works admirably. We are far beyond the 'pilot' scheme stage. We have been doing the job for twenty years.

'The Representative'
is not very easy to see what Rabbi Warshaw and Mrs. Bishop are getting at. There have been of occasions in the past when it would have been reasonable enough to complain of a Catholic habit
Conservative elements may perhaps succeed in watering down the draft decrees on these matters; but that educated Catholic laity which Cardinal Newman desired will now see to it—and they will not lack for clerical support—that these are, in all sincerity, the attitudes and convictions of the Catholics of the future. (The Church's failure in these matters--a scandal indeed—is presumably due in large measure to the Latin Church's entangle- ments with Cmsaro-papism and its estrangement since the Great Schism from non-Roman Eastern Christianity.) As to The Representative. niany Catholics are deeply grateful to Herr Hochhuth for forcing us, by means of is play, to examine our consciences; for Pius XII was truly the representative of us all as well as being the Vicarins Christi. Mrs. Bishop, too, is our representative—a truer one than your other Catholic correspondents. I am deeply grateful to her for what she has written.

Eliot and Pound
SIR,-1 have just read Mr. Seymour-Smith's article entitled 'The Revolutionaries' in your issue of March 12, and should be grateful to you if you could allow me to say a few words about it. Mr. Seymour-Smith's critical notions and his assessment
of the mainsprings and the worth of Eliot's poetry , . are so inconsequential and obviously unsound that they do not require comments. The innuendos and unfounded assertions about Eliot's character and ideas arc, on the other hand, much to be deplored and very sad reading they make.'
