SIR,—I would like to associate myself with Lord Castlereagh's admirable

article in your issue of October 29th. Without going into the controversy of what we should or should not have done—in the past over our rela- tions with Russia—I think it would be well to think of the future. To quote Lord Castlereagh: " A party representative of the Boy Scouts " might be a friendly approach ; also, " Russia might send a representative football team to this country. They would be assured of a hearty welcome." It is often in small beginnings that larger events follow. We heard much in the last war of " a war to end wars." Today we might think of a wiser slogan : A Peace to end war.—Yours faithfully,
