To the Editor of the "Norru-Cuina Dairy News,"
Sir,—In thal admirable debate ing hall provided by your correspondence columns, there is one who has made a speech upon this subject. He is, I should think, a man who represents a considerable: class in Shanghai, he is possibly an epitome of that class, a helpless being who accepts uncritically the suggestions thrown out by his environment (incidentally also a purveyor of split infinitives).
He has chosen to express an opinion on a question affecting the "universal brotherhood," I do not refer to the communists, but to the universal brotherhood of the war. He has decided that the sons of the men who were killed in the East Prussian marshes in 1914, those men who saved his economic neck, must be returned to Vladivos-
Before he has the right to ex-ress an opinion in the brother-jood's debating, hall, he should pay his entrance foe.
Shanghailander, have you paid your entrance fee?
were you one of those, who, when the world lay in agony, leant against the club bar and bewailed the shortage of French Vermouth? I am, ete., Shanghai, February '8, 1993.
