Sir.—If I was to set down in the vein of Mr. Priestley the things that bring me delight, then high on the list would be "the holding of an opinion for a time and then suddenly having it shattered by events," For it is. I suppose, in the element of surprise, a rarity these days, which brings the delight. The opinion that I held since arriving in this country was "that the only creative voice to be heard was that of Nature herself protesting in her own way against the cultural vacuity." But now the "Salient" literary issue with its creative thought bursting from cover to cover has proved my notion false. I hope, however, that unlike Ngaurohoe, the issue will not be just a spasmodic outburst of stored-up energy, but will be the beginninag of a chain reaction, which will resuscitate the artistic mind of man from the North to the South Capo.
