THE DREAMING ISLANDS
Sir,--I hesitated to reply to Mr O’Brien’s letter in the knowledge that your publication must avoid the political, but not to reply might be taken as an admission of agreement. I do not, however, propose herein to do more than dot the "i’s" and cross the "t’s." The economic theory in which "a firm can charge whatever price it pleases for its products’-if anyone dare propound it-has no place in a free market with supply and demand as its basis. Like so many others Mr O’Brien has used the hoary legend of Canute to point the wrong moral. I shall not burden you by enunciating policy. I would not expect you to permit such an intrusion. However, if Mr O’Brien is anxious he has but to invite me to meet himself and his friends and there they can question in general and particular and I trust eventually benefit.
