HERR HITLER AND SWITZERLAND
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR]
SIR,—I was very interested in the letter from Miss Cam in your issue of last week.
In August I was staying at a mountain resort in Switzerland in which was a monastery in close touch, and united with, the village, and I was invited to see the priceless manuscripts in the monastery. After a pleasant hour spent in the library, the brother who was my guide turned and asked me, with emotion, what was my opinion of Germany's attitude towards Czechoslovakia, " for," said he, " we are fearful that if Germany takes that country they will come to Switzerland next and we are such a happy family here." To this I answered that he would not need to fear ; Great Britain .would never allow it. In view of recent happenings I should not now have the heart nor the confidence to give such an assurance.
