Snt—Mr. Radinsky is indeed a purveyor of bright and original
ideas. He informs the readers of The Spectator that the reason why the United States will not help us in the war is because their idea of democracy is different to ours.
Let us suppose that Mr. Radinsky was attacked by a gangster in Chicago one day and called upon a passing citizen for help. Imagine his feelings if the passing citizen addressed him as follows: "I regret to say, my dear Sir, that I have no interest in saving your life because your conception of life is quite different to my own. You are well known as a collector of postage stamps, whilst I collect beetles. Good afternoon."
Much as he seems to dislike our British institutions, there is one at least with which I feel sure he would be in sympathy. I refer, of course, to the Village Idiot. —Yours truly,
81 Clare Court, ludd Street, W.C. z. 0. BARTABY.
