GERMANY AND BLACK TROOPS.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—Owing to absence from London I did not see the Spectator of March 29th till to-day. The article on page 492 headed " France and Mr. MacDonald," alluding to the conditions under which the coming elections will be held in the Ruhr, says that " White communities . . . who see their fellow citizens held down by black troops," &c. Your paper always shows the utmost fairness in giving publicity to opinions from which it differs, besides being, I am con- vinced, anxious to state nothing but the truth. I would therefore be glad if you would let your readers know that there will be no French black troops in the occupied regions during the coming elections, for the last of these troops left in November, 1921. The last regiment to leave was the 1st Malgaches.—I am, Sir, &c.,
E. LE BLOND.
