Offensive comments

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I FIND some of the sentiments expressed in Colonel MacMillan's 'crime report' most offensive, particularly where he refers to the judiciary as being corrupt.

No comparative analysis carried out on any objective basis could conclude that our judges or the system they arrange and oversee is corrupt.

MacMillan may be moved to so conclude because the service is now manned mainly by the offspring of the peasantry, so they are entitled to disrespect having attended St. Andrew Technical and not Wolmer's.

As the father, uncle and brother-in-law of persons in this noble profession, I am deeply annoyed that one displaced from the 'high chair' cannot accept that 'we have arrived'.

The colonel should be careful how he uses his 'dawbing brush'.

I am, etc.,

OSWALD SEYMOUR, J. P.
