LORD BALDWIN'S RESPONSIBILITY

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—WhO is responsible for the present lamentably weak position of Great Britain ? The answer is Stanley Baldwin. From 1931 to 1937 he was the leader of the strongest Party in the House of Commons. During the whole of that period Stanley Baldwin was kept fully advised of Germany's re- armament. Stanley Baldwin did nothing to prevent it or to meet it.—I am, Sir, yours faithfully, R. S. CRUICKSHANK.
