GERMANY'S CRITICS REPROVED [To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—I

feel that I must protest against the language used in your issue of the ist inst, "A Disgrace to Europe." It is just such reckless, utterly biassed, and even untrue statements regarding Germany and its rulers which make the lot of the Jew in that country even worse. It is hardly likely that a Government of any self-respecting country (and Germany is both proud and satisfied of its rulers of today) would be impressed by the hysterical scoldings of our so-called " intelligensia," and of our idiotic Press.

As for Mr. Hamilton Fyfe's letter—this only shows how wrong he is in his ideas of what the mass of our English people think. There is absolutely no ill-will towards either Germany or its rulers outside of a very narrow, bigoted and venal circle, who would very soon find out their error if matters came to a critical phase, involving a danger of war.-- .
