POSTAGE STAMPS
Sir, — Your correspondent, “Well-Wisher,” writes commending the issue of charity stamps for the tuberculosis relief fund, but.criticising the design of the stamps. Does he suggest that the issue should be withdrawn, at enormous cost, and another issue, bearing the King’s head, be substituted? The whole thing is preposterously silly! There is no need to have his Majesty’s head on every postage stamp as your correspondent, were he a philatelist, would know. And when one sees some of the poorly-designed stamps containing the King’s portrait, one sometimes wonders that his Majesty, who is a philatelist, does not start proceedings against the Government concerned fjr lese majesty. There is nothing wrong with the charity issue as far as I can see, and the purpose it is serving deserves the commendation of us all. BLUE MAURITIUS.
