Sir,-I would like to congratulate you on your outstanding editorial concerning some of the overseas reporting of aspects of the Royal Tour. It is a thoughtful statement with considerably more percipience than any other I have seen on the subject. I applaud your remarks about -our attitude to our Maori people. I am sure every New Zealander, whatever his tribe, will applaud also. While the immediate mischief is done by the columnists, I am more concérned about the attitude shown in the editorial comment in some of the papers. The patronising attitude of The Times, for instance, shows that there are still in high places those who are inclined to be "kindly" towards "us colonials." That is depressing, for there seems to be no cure for it. But an editorial such as yours serves to remind us, as New Zealanders, of things we are inclined at times to forget.
