The Riposte is too specialized in its interests to show any concern in regard to normal wars except to admit, perhaps, that a great many people are going to get hurt and a considerable amount of real estate will change hands. However, when two wars come along within a few short years and each has a definite effect upon the Olympic Games, causing their transfer first from Japan to Finland and now making the holding of any Games highly problematical, then we must break our Editorial calm and issue a statement. We declare that the two most recent wars are anti-social.

We occasionally hear complaints from our subscribers that they did not receive certain issues of The Riposte. We wish to assure all of our readers that particular care is taken in the addressing and mailing of our magazine. However, we do operate under a third-class precancelled mail permit which does not receive the careful attention in delivery that first-class mail receives. We regret any failure in delivery and, of course, stand ready at all times to replace any issue that is not received. On the other hand, each subscriber must assume the personal responsibility of notifying us of any change in address immediately. The Post Office does not forward magazine mail and hence any change in address will sever your connection with us immediately. Therefore, please assist us to the extent of notifying us of any change in address.

Our use of Volume and Issue numbers to designate the sequence of the issues we publish has proved confusing to our subscribers. This is particularly so because we do not publish at regular intervals; for instance, our last issue was dated July and here it is November. Henceforth, we shall print the chronological number of each issue on this page. This is the 52nd issue of The Riposte since it was first published in December 1935. You may find that number printed in the column at the left.
