Sir,-In answer to T.P.M., Taihape, who wants to cut out Big Ben, I quite understand a New Zealander not appreciating the time lost while Big Ben strikes. But if he were London-born I feel sure he would feel a thrill to know that while Big Ben still strikes Britain still holds her own in this terrible struggle. As a young fellow I had to pass Big Ben every day to work, and used to think what a note of security he sounded every hour-a note that could be heard all over London within a certain area on a still night. I feel myself, having brothers, sisters and other relatives living in the heart of London, that while good old Big Ben still strikes the hour London and good old England will carry on, and T.P.M, still sit and listen to his. wireless without fear.
