" THE SPECTATOR " FOR GERMANY
SIR,—On a recent visit to Germany of a mission representing the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Scotland and the Free Churches, to confer with representatives of the Catholic and Protestant Churches in Germany, we discovered a great hunger amongst German churchmen for English periodicals which we should like in a small way to do what we can to meet. It is now possible for the publishers of papers to send them direct to individual German civilians, and I would therefore appeal to any of the readers of The Spectator who wish to help to relieve this hunger to take out a year's subscription to your paper on behalf of some individual in Germany.
Would anyone willing to help in this way send to me a letter expressing his readiness to pay an annual subscription to post a copy abroad? I will then tell the subscriber the name of a person in Germany to whom his gift will be sent and inform you of the names both of the subscriber (to whom the account may be sent) and of the name of the recipient in Germany. Such acts of generosity will be appreciated most warmly by those for whom starvation of mind is not the least of their privations.
—Yours very truly, 0. S. TOMICINS. World Council of: Churches,
2I Bloomsbury Street, W.C. 2.
