AMERICAN CO-OPERATION.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—Since you were kind enough to publish in your issue of April 7th an offer of mine to correspond with any American reader of the Spectator who might feel disposed to defend the aloofness of the United States with regard to participation in European affairs—an attitude which I for my part would endeavour to combat—I would be grateful if you could allow me to tender through your columns an apology to the American Senator who did me the honour of taking up my challenge for the apparent disregard I have shown of his letter.
I hope this will catch his eye and reassure him that it is not indifference but a malign accident that has precluded my answering him. He had marked his letter for publication ; so I sent it to the editor of a well-known journal (which will remain nameless), with the result that his letter and mine disappeared, though whether in the post or into the above- mentioned editor's waste-paper basket will never be known. As I had unfortunately not noted my distinguished corre- spondent's address I can only hope that he will favour me
with it and so give me another opportunity of answering him. I remember the gist of his interesting letter well enough.—
