Sir.-"The London Observer," says your correspondent Jas. W. Winchester, "is one of the most inveterate enemies of Communism) the mouthpiece of High Toryism and unregenerate defender of Munich." But this propagator of Reaction is used most effectively by the Communists (any connection?) in their recent pamphlet on the Greek situation. Far from believing, as Mr. Winchester does, that the Observer is "bitterly opposed to any popular cause," the writer of this pamphlet finds its editorial on Greece so "true" that he quotes (in heavy type) a seventy-word passage from it in his-opening paragraph. It is significant, too, that the pamphlet, »"documented from the most authoritative sources" we are told, quotes largely from
"reactionary" newspapers and not once from Communist Party organs. For a Communist supporter, Mr. Winchester seems hopelessly out of touch with the latest "Party Line" on the Capitalist
Press.-
