[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sm,—May I cordially support

the proposal for the erection of a Memorial to the late Walter H. Page, either in West- minster Abbey if that be possible, if not elsewhere. For long I have cherished the work of the late Ambassador for the United States to this country, but only since I have read his life have I appreciated the debt we owe to him. It is not too much to say that his vision and good will prevented the calamity of a conflict between this country and the United States in those critical years 1915-17, a calamity which would have involved the future of the whole civilized world. —I am, Sir, very truly yours, Glimmer BARLINO,
