      locks,

      People
     
     
      kept

      wes
      held
     
     
      two
      weeks
      ago
      there
      showed
      signs
     
     
      of
      the
      possibility
      of
      improvement
     
     
      and
      of
      working
      cm
      these
      issues.
     
     
      However,
      after
      reading
      Thams's
     
     
      last
      editorial
      is
      seems
      that
      he
      is
      mt
     
     
      taking
      these
      problems
      as
      seriously
     
     
      as:
      he
      perhaps
      should,
      and
      that
      he
     
     
      finds
      them
      to
      be
      of
      no
      omse-
     
     
      quence.
      We
      will
      see
      in
      the
      future
     
     
      how
      things
      go,
      amd
      in
      all
      likelihood
     
     
      there
      will
      be
      a
      followup
      to
      this
      in
     
     
      order
      to
      let
      others
      know
      how
      these
     
     
      issues
      are
      progressing,
      or
      how
      they
     
     
      are
      devolving
