Abstract
I AM afraid I am not completely convinced: the very length and warmth of Prof, van Riet Lowe's reply rather increases my uncertainty. As a necessity of war, we have had much experience of bureaucratic controls in Britain–far more than Prof. Lowe can have ever experienced—and there is no doubt but that the result is a stifling of individual effort. Prof. Lowe suggests that the situation in England is not comparable with that in South Africa, as the former country is so poor in archæological remains compared with the sub-continent. Surely that would be an argument for more controls in Britain than there !
