CER.TAIN of the remarks and saggestions made in our leading article, " Planning by the Industry," which we published on March 26, have brought the following letter from Mr. George N. Wilson, Chairman of the British Road Federation:— " The penultimate paragraph of your leading article very fairly describes the main function and nature of the British Road Federation, even down to the detail. of its being conducted with a minimum of paid officials. Any move towards unity amongst associations forming or qualified to form its constituents is welcomed by the Federation, which sees no reason to regard the attainment of its aims as a chimera or even as an ideal the achievement of which need be long delayed.

" The B.R.F. has reformed its constitution in the past and could do so again if this would improve service on essential issues to those' e-ho have the interests of road transport at heart.

" But if it is to remain so widely representative the links between the . B R F and its constituent bodies must .

continue to appear to be somewhat tenuous. An element of tenuity is often apparent, although not always real; in the happiest relationships. The alternative is a strict code of rules, with the inevitable corollary of bureaucratic control."
