FRANCE AND THE SPANISH FRONTIER

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—M. Bayer can have no sons of his own that he would reopen the Franco-Spanish frontier. France has squandered her riches and given her manhood that democracy should live in Spain—until other nations have done as much she should not be asked for further sacrifices. Does M. Bayet realise that of the Rebels' 47,000 prisoners, more than half are Frenchmen and would he ask the mothers of France to give still more of their sons ? No—I implore you keep the frontier closed.—Yours faithfully, MARIE DE RENAUD.
