GERMANY AND EUROPE

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—Mr. Acheson Best was good enough to draw attention to the publications of "Friends of Europe" in his letter on the above subject, in your issue of May 7th. As the subject

matter of his letter is of such fundamental importance to r s all, perhaps you would allow me to say that the " Friends of Europe " have been doing nothing else for five years except try to provide a reliable documentation of the ideas and policies which are shaping the life of the new Germany.

Four studies have been made, based on the original text of Hitler's Mein Kampf and all the citations page quoted, and

have appeared as follows :

Pamphlet No. 34.—Hitler the Man : Adolf Hitler, with a Preface by Henry W. Nevinson.

Pamphlet No. 37.—The Racial Conception of the World : Adolf Hitler, with a Foreword by Sir Charles Grant Robertson. Pamphlet No. 38.—Germany's Foreign Policy : Adolf Hitler, with

a Foreword by the Duchess of Atholl, M.P.

Pamphlet No. 41.—The Nazi Party, The State and Religion : Adolf Hitler, with a Foreword by Dr. Hugh Dalton, M.P.

We do not hesitate to say that these four pamphlets together give a more faithful reflection of the original book than any publication which has appeared in the English tongue, and every care has been taken to give a scrupulously objective as well as good English translation.

Four studies have been made, as well, of the work of Dr.

Alfred Rosenberg, whose writings are only second in importance to the education of the new Germany, to Herr Hitler, viz., these four studies are :

Pamphlet No. 44.—" Mythus " II ; The Character of the New Religion. No. 46.—" Mythus " I : The Worship of Race. No. 48.—" Mythus " III : International Implications of the New Religion. No. 49.—The Future of German Foreign Policy.

These eight studies can be sent to any address for 2s. pest free, or is. each set of four, on application to : The Secretary, Friends of Europe, 122 St. Stephen's House, S.W.r, and we should be glad, at the same time, to send further information as to our research work bearing on Nazi Germany,

which has won an established place among scholars and public men of the English-speaking world.—I am, yours, &c.,

Victoria Embankment, . Friends of Europe.
