MILITARY PACIFISTS SIR,—I must disabuse the reviewer of Constantine FitzGibbon's

new book (Spectator, September 13), albeit belatedly, of at least one of the consolations which he offers to Mr. FitzGibbon.

Wellington College has provided a past treasurer of the National Committee of 100, a present sec- retary of the Oxford Committee of 100, at least two turbulent anarchists, many CND supporters and myself (a member of the London Federation of Anarchists and the London Committee of 100) in the last ten years! It was there that I first came in contact with radical pacifist ideas and these still have wide currency in this old centre of military tradition.
