"Salient's" policy with regard to news is dear; "reporting" in the usual sense of the word has been abolished, and what we may call "commentating" has been introduced. If a definite political side is taken by a lecturer, we hope to obtain the views of a "commentator" holding the opposite opinion, instead of merely stating: "Mr. So-and-so gave a highly entertaining and instructive lecture on Such-and-such, and a good time was had by all."

We are thus glad to publish the critical report of Dr. Sutch's recent lecture on Spain and the subsequent proceedings which appears below. Lest it be thought that the author speaks without an adequate knowledge of his subject, it should be stated that he is a V.U.C. graduate who has recently travelled extensively in Europe.

The Editor again wishes to emphasise that he will not be responsible for any views expressed in a signed article.
