[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In your issue dated

December 26th, 1925, there is an article on "Russia To-day," with an editorial note that it will probably surprise most people, and I think those readers who are interested therein should obtain a copy of a French work by M. Henri Beraud called Ce que fai vu a Moscou, when they will see the position from an entirely different point of view.

M. Beraud's book is a collection of articles written to Le Journal after visiting Moscow and Leningrad last summer, and I hope it may be translated into English, because the in- formation is of considerable importance to those interested in reopening business relations with Russia.—! am, Sir, &c.,
