HONOUR WHERE DUE
Sir,-Congratulations on your commendably straightforward "Editorial" of March 6. "Honour to whom honour is due" should be our watchword and many men might well follow your example to be better Editors. Let us all be quite honest and admit without prejudice that Russia is still saving us-not because we deserve it, but because her people have something solid to fight for. So she selects her best brains for leadership and her war effort is made in perfect national unity. Kipling gave us a well-deserved criticism when he wrote: "It’s Tommy this, and Tommy that, And Tommy go away, But it’s "Thank you, Mr. Atkins,’ When the guns begin to play. Frankness at any price, Mr. Editor, and let us really get somewhere!
E. M.
PERRY
