dent Davison in Letter to The Review
President Banks M. Davison, of the Boston
Music Publishers' Association, takes exception
to the statement published in The Review re-
cently to the effect that the Boston Associa-
tion had little to do with the problems of the
retailer. The statement of the editor was in no
sense a reflection on the activities of the Bos-
ton organization, but it was intended rather to
convey the idea that it was primarily an asso-
ciation of publishers, rather than of retailers,
and, therefore, interested particularly in pub-
lishers' problems.
We thank President Davison for setting us
right in the matter in a letter in which he says:

Let's keep the flag floating high;
Let's keep each star in the field of blue

Let's all stand shoulder to shoulder,
Let's keep our loyalty true;
Let's keep the (How in Old Glory,
