PORTUGUESE METHODS IN POLITICAL CONTROVERSY.
[TO THE EDITOR Or THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I am glad to see from Colonel Wyllie's letter that the " Centro Colonial " is not responsible for the recent publication of a British official despatch edited beyond all recognition, and hasten to express my regret if I have in any way misjudged the " Centro Colonial." Somebody, however, has committed the offence, and up to the present there is no official denial from the " Centro Colonial." Doubtless, however, Colonel Wyllie speaks with knowledge, and I can only hope that he will obtain an official explanation of so extraordinary a procedure. If the manifesto of the " Centro Colonial" has been materially altered by the editor of Le Mouvement Pacifiste, as Colonel Wyllie suggests, an early explanation should be forthcoming from that quarter. Clearly the authors of the document and the publishers should lose no time before issuing a satisfactory statement upon this action.
