ALLIES INSIDE GERMANY

Sig,—Mr. Peter F. Wiener states in The Spectator of July 17th that Die Zeitung sponsors a Free German Movement. Mr. Wiener even refers to a statement of the Minister of Information in the House of Commons on June 11th in which the Minister is said to have referred to " their weekly paper." Had Mr. Wiener read the Minister's statement or Die Zeitung he would know that Die Zeitung has nothing whatsoever to do with any Free German Movement and has, in fact, many times warned its readers against the formation of any such movement. Fortunately Mr. Wiener himself quotes Carlyle: " Unhappy emigrants! They are ignorant of much that they should know: of themselves, of what is around them!" Indeed . . .—Yours faithfully, 107 Fleet Street. J H. LOTHAR, Editor of Die Zeitung.
