"WAR RECORD"

Sir-I was very pleased to read "Quidnunc’s" protest at the non-receipt of above, as I also have been wondering at the delay. Although the editorial footnote explains this delay, it also implies

that people who live in rooms or flats are not likely to receive a copy. This seems, to say the least, very arbitrary, as the Post Office or whichever Government department is responsible for the distribution, must be aware that 50 per cent. (more or less) of the population live in rooms or flats, chiefly on account of their inability to procure houses; therefore through no fault of their own do not come into the privileged category of "householder" and are thus debarred from obtaining what is as rightfully theirs as the more fortunate, but no more deserving, half of the people. It must be remembered also that many of the former are returned soldiers and their wives. I wish to add to "Quidnunc’s" request for information of where it is possible to obtain a copy of "War

Record."

FLAT FISH

(Christchurch).

€This letter was referrred to the Information Officer, Prime Minister’s Department, who replied as follows: "I would like to correct the impression that people who live in flats or rooms are not likely to receive a copy of War Record because they do not come into the category of ‘householders.’ The Post Office states that sufficient copies are left at each house or flat to cover all boarders who receive mail at that address. If mail is not regularly addressed to a man at his boarding-house, and the postman therefore does not know of his existence, no copy would be left for him, Distribution of the copies delivered at a boatding-house thus depends on the landlady, I should be glad if you would. let it be known that copies are obtainable from the Information Officer, Prime Minister’s Department, Wellington.’’)
