"FOREVER FREEDOM"
Sir,-In reviewing this work in your issue of May 30, you say "the only extracts not originally written in English are from the Bible"; and go on to quote the Great Charter. "Nulli vendemus, nulli negabimus aut differemus rectum vel justiciam." So goes the original text, sealed by King John, and re-issued by his successors. Call that English? And talking of English, I wish it were possible to replace by an Australasian or British writer your cinema critic; who, in the same issue, talks of something "plugged hard in the publicity," and "cheering from the campus," and gratuitously insults the Dominion of Canada by saying "America" when the context shows he means "United States.’ Waal, I'll
say, stranger!-
CRECT CARD
(Wellington).
(‘Struth! Two birds with one brick! But whom does our pedant insult in turn with " Australasian ’’?-Ed.).
