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
