that from now on Roy Brooks's lively property advertise- ments are going to•appear in the Spectator. What brought about this pleasing state• of affairs, we gather, was the rejection by both the Sunday Times and the Observer last Week of the following, intended as an open- ing paragraph, to the.customary column : NOTICING PIE DISCREPANCY between; the texts of our advertisements in the Sunday Times and the Observer; the former censoring my refer- ence to the current military exploits of our oldest ally (9.7.61) and; the latter, not wishing to be beastly to the German's, changing my word "Germans" into. "Warlords" where I re- ferred to the bombing of S. Ken: (11.6.61), people are always asking what I actually send in. Uncensored versions of my mutilated ac„ with others, will hereafter appear in Mc Spectator.—Roy Brooks.
