My dear Murray,

I have heard indirectly that Felix Valyi, Editor of the "Revue Politique Internationale", would be willing to consider and in all probability print articles by leading English writers.

His review, as you probably know, was founded in Paris early in 1914. After the outbreak of war it moved its office to Lausanne, where it became in effect an Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian and Turkish propagandist organ. Important articles by Andrassy, among other people, have appeared in it.

As it is nevertheless a high-class political review, circulating widely in intellectual circles in Switzerland and enemy countries, we should be glad if an article on English political life during the war, on some such subject of a not too obtrusively propagandist kind, could be published in it. It would be of great assistance if you could /find

find time to take up this suggestion and let me have an article, together with a covering letter, for transmission to Monsieur Valyi. The articles in the "Revue" are generally 2500-4000 words long. Yours sin John Buchan
