SPY STORY.
Sir,-What’s the big idea? Yesterday I opened my newspaper and read that the report of the Royal Commission into the spy ring in Canada has established that there has been a lot of dirty work going on. To-day I get my Listener dated March 8 and read in your editorial a warning that "the only official details released at the ‘time of writing are notably sober and meagre." Surely something is wrong somewhere.

(All that is wrong is that the interval which inevitably oceurs with a journal such as ours between preparing material and getting it into subscribers’ hands, for once proved embarrassingly long. But what we said was perfectly true: at the time of writing that article, the only official details were still "notably sober and meagre’’ by comparison with unofficial newspaper speculations-amounting in fact to little more than the bare announcement that a Royal Commission of Inquiry had been set up. However, the Royal Commission worked faster than such bodies usually do and faster than we expected.-Ed.)
