[l'o the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Your admirable leading article
in last week's Spectator under this heading must have caused widespread satisfaction. There must he many persons who cordially dislike the spectacle we are witnessing in Morocco—two strong European nations, equipped with every modern invention, iron-clads, tanks, armoured planes, high explosives, etc., pitting their strength against the Riffs, whose chief crime is that they desire to keep gut the foreigner.
But the object of my letter is to ask if the Spectator could not lend its support to those who are anxious that a Red Cross unit should be sent out to the Ruffian Forces. According to
international law" the Riffs arc "rebels," but from the standpoint of the Founder of Christianity they are fellow human beings. Surely there must be many English men and women who would support a Red Cross unit to the Rifts? It is inconceivable that France or Spain would put obstacles in the way of such an undertaking.—I am, Sir, &c..
FAIRPL AY.
