Sir--Your notes on correspondence . are usually welcome for their urbanity and good-temper. The acerbity of the editorial snub‘to "British Visitor" is therefore surprising. Is it impertinent to remark that there are "brawlings" in the House of Representatives? I’ve heard many fellow-New Zealanders use this and much more abusive epithets to describe the manners of our M.P.’s in conclave. As for the Brains Trust, "British Visitor’ has missed its truncated appearances in Dunedin and to this extent is at fault, But must he be so stuffily chidden for overlooking a detail in a programme he probably cannot hear successfully in Havelock North? His comments on this admirable halfhour are, in the opinion of many listeners, exceedingly just. You call him, Sir, a guest in this country. Presumably, in common with other visitors; he is a paying guest. Surely he is at liberty to
criticise the management. I find his manners at least as good as those of your rejoinder.
