" GERMANY AFTER THE WAR "
Snt,—May I write in support of Dr. Ostoja's letter which you pub- lished on June 13th? As a serving Army officer, I was in 1921 and 5922 stationed .in Upper Silesia with my regiment, which formed part of the British Upper Silesian force. This period of service covered the entire plebiscite period. I spoke German and Polish, and my experience of the country included Beuthen, Kattowitz, Mysolowitz, Tamowitz, Gross-Strehlitz, Oppeln, Gleiwitz, Rybnik, Rosenberg, Lublinitz, and various other towns and mining villages. The Poles did not terrorise the German population before, during or after the plebiscite during the time I was stationed there, and Dr. Dawson's statement to contrary effect whicli he made in his letter of May 9th has no foundation in fact. I found no evidence to prove " inveterate lawlessness " on the part of the Poles.—Yours
