LETTERS TO GERMANY
SIR,—Lest it should be thought that Commander Stephen King-Hall's letters to Germans, referred to by " Janus " in his Notebook, are universally well received in Germany, the following extracts from a letter written to me by a German director of a shipping line may have some interest:
"I wonder whether you heard of these letters that are being flooded into Germany by order of your Government. I enclose extracts of letter No. 3 from Stephen K-H., the original being in my possession. It is a printed document this time and was posted in Amsterdam on 19th, addressed this time to a pal of mine. Alas, I am evidently not good enough yet. Can't you tell your friend to put me on the list! I want some amusement too 1
"Don't you think it is a sign of weakness on the part of your Government to send such letters. It certainly gives me the im- pression that you want to impress us how strong you are and what we have to fear. Now I always find that a real strong man has no necessity to say so, he leaves it to the other man to find out, when the time comes!
"My dear Britons, how far have you sunk to have to resort to such methods. What poor imbeciles these people with such ideas must be. How little they know of us."
