MR. FIERLINGER AND THE COMMUNISTS

SIR,—In the article Czechoslovakia Today the writer states: " Suddenly, however, without the permission and indeed against the will of his own party, Fierlinger, the Social Democratic leader, concluded a separate patt with the Communists." Readers of Kravchenko's I Chose Freedom will have little difficulty in divining the persuasions applied to Mr. Fierlinger.
