PEACE OR JUSTICE ?

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—After reading the provocative and bitter attacks on the Government regarding the outcomc of the Munich agreements which have appeared in your paper, I for one

would prefer now to see a statement of constructive criticism on your part. At Munich it was obvious that Mr. Chamberlain had no option but to choose the lesser of two evils. What I and probably many other of your readers would like to know is this : If the issue at Munich had rested with you instead of the Premier what course would you have followed ?

East Witton Vicarage, Middleham, Yorkshire.

[We agree that it is obvious that at Munich Mr. Chamberlain had no option but to choose the lesser of two evils, and we expressed that opinion in almost those words in leading articles on October 7th and October 2Ist.—En. The Spectator.]
