Mild Interest

Mild Interest

I read, with mild interest, in your issue dated 30th May, of your criticism of "Cappicade" This article prompts me to give you a small piece of advice, namely, if you are so concerned with the standard to which the magazine has sunk, "same odd and worthless tradition." you are quite welcome to write the magazine next year Failing this, of course, you could use some of your no doubt valuable time in sending in a few articles of a suitable nature.

Although you more or less condemn the magazine, you found time to print in "Salient" an article from "Cappicade" As if this was not enough, the article appeared in your paper two days before "Cappicade" was on sale I would (a) like you to be consistent in your ideals, (b) like a suitable explanation why the article "Extravaganza and Society" was printed in "Salient" of the 8th May—M. W. Cullinane, Editor. Cappicade" '57,

[The article in question was found in manuscript amongst copy for the "Salient" Issue of 9th May. There was no indication that a similar article had been submitted to "Cappicade." We consider our action in publishing it right and proper in the circumstance us they were then known to us. Nevertheless a personal apology was extended to the Editor of "Cappicade" immediately the duplication was discovered. We regret that Mr. Cullinane could not see his way to accept our apology or good faith—Ed.)
