AID FOR GERMANY

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—I understand that Herr Goebbels has added insult to injury by suggesting that poor little Belgium started the 1914 War by attacking Germany.

Would it not calm the fears of the German rulers and pre- vent their peaceful country from any such future acts of aggression and encirclement if we offered to go to their assist- ance in case of attack? Such an offer, of course, would not reach the German public unless we broadcast our offer—in

German.—Yours, &c., S. WHITMORE ROBINSON. 21 Lyndhurst Road, N.W. 3.
