AN APOLOGY
SIR,—My attention has been called to a most unhappy breach of grammar and good taste in a recent article of mine, when I wrote so carelessly and colloquially as to use the phrase " nasty little Jew kid." May I take this opportunity to apologise and express my deepest regret to all my many friends in the Jewish community for such an unpardonable lapse. I regret it all the more because the years of war brought me into close and friendly contact with some thousands of Jewish refugees, and when I witnessed the patience and heroism with which they faced suffering and persecution I was filled with admiration for the adherents of so great a religion, and the members of so valiant a race.—Yours
faithfully, ALEXANDER PATERSON. 3 Christ Church Terrace, Chelsea, S.W.3.
