[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] Sm,—The Spectator suggests that

there is no need for the Committee to meet in order to decide the award of the Nobel Peace Prize. But surely there are at least two claimants, one with an even superior claim to Mr. Chamberlain, namely,

Dr. Benes, if not the whole Czech people. So it would seem there should be two prizes or the prize should be divided.
