" SFECTATOlt."1

SIR;I do not wish to prolong this discussion unduly. But in view of the editorial comment upon my letter of last week, inviting me to "take note of what is happening just now over the Casablanca incident," I cannot but think that the subse- quent development of that incident, if it does not suffice to justify • my view of the Kaiser and his Government, at any rate furnishes a remarkably fragile basis for a "reply" to it.

[On the contrary, we think the Casablanca incident, though, thanks to the courteous firmness of the French Government, and to the internal situation in Germany, it has ended happily, still gives the strongest possible support to our contention.— ED. Spectator.]
