"THE TREND OF OPINION IN GERMANY"

SIR,—In your issue of March 22nd, in a letter from Dr. A. H. Brauer, "The Trend of Opinion in Germany," there occurs this sentence: "Unfortunately, Stresemann died too early—the only German statesman of those days who might have given a better turn to German history." I recommend Dr. Brauer to obtain and read The Last Peace and the Next, by Sir Geoffrey Knox (Hutchinson, Is., 1943). He will find there a complete exposure of Stresemann as a man whose main objective was to hoodwink and beguile the British Government. Knox is scathing in his comments, and his views on Germany have proved so correct in so many other particulars that he may well be trusted in his opinions on Stresemann.—I am, Sir, T.
