A letter by Kurt Stehling, President of the Toronto University Rocket Society, appears in the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper under the heading "Space Travel is Held Possible". Stehling rebuts Dr J.W. Campbell's assertions, made earlier that week in a lecture given to the Royal Astronomical Society, that spaceflight was unlikely. Stehling urged the Canadian and British governments to begin long-range rocket programs. Stehling also asserted that rockets could reach the moon within ten years.
