[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] Sut,,On returning, after an

absence of three weeks, from a country that need not be specified and, reading the accumu- lated Spectators, I am disgusted by the attitude of the bulk of the English . Press, including yourself, towards the Red atrocities in Spain. And especially as I am old enough to, remember the feeling in this country as expressed in regard to the Bulgarian and Armenian massacres.

Not often do I find myself in agreement with the Daily Mail. But I do admire the way in which they have exposed the cases of stripping in public, outraging and murder of nuns,. as well as the murder and torture of priests and in fact many whose sole " crime " was the profession of their faith. Much as one deprecates such a course, small wonder that these diabolical actions have provoked reprisals from the anti-Reds.
